Homecoming Dance 2012

Last Saturday night was the homecoming dance at Lehi High School.  Braden asked a cute girl, Halea, from his cross country team.  I later realized that we knew her family.  We moved into their neighborhood fifteen years ago when we bought our first house.  Then a few years later they moved to a new home in Lehi, and soon afterwards we moved too.  I hadn't seen them since Halea was about 3 years old!  Braden and Halea didn't remember being in nursery together.  Ha ha! Those are some of the joys of living in the same town for many years.  We have been residents of Lehi for nearly 18 years!  Anyway, Braden and Halea and three other couples went to the dance together, then afterwards they all came here for icecream sundaes and to watch the BYU/Utah game.  It was so fun having them here, I love having a houseful of teenagers!

The next day Halea's mom sent me an email and the pictures she took on her front porch. She wrote:

"Braden is a cutie.  So polite and fun.  Halea had a great time.  She was totally hoping that he would ask her, so it made her week when he did.  Who would have thought all those years ago that our kids would be hanging out.  How cute!  Thanks for raising such a great son, you have done a great job." 

Made me smile!  What a cute couple.
