Now I am old..


Ever since Jordan was small he has told us that you are not old until you are 50. Well, here I am. I must say, it is a pretty good place to be. I didn't feel like an adult till I hit 40 and now at 50, I feel like I have paid my dues and have a right to enjoy life.

What an amazing few months we have had. In May Jordan came home from his mission. He went right to work and quickly re-joined the human race. He is back to movie watching and playing video games. It was a great blessing for us to have him serve and it is great to have him home.

On June 22nd I became a grandpa. Kaylee is now the center of our world. What a wonderful thing to be a grandpa. The only problem we have is sharing time to hold her between Grandma, Jordan and myself. It will be along while before she will touch the floor at our house. As I look forward to her growth, I look forward to each stage of her life. I love today, when I can just hold her while she sleeps. (Her mom and Dad did try to put her in bed for a nap the other day. I was unable to stand listening to her fuss. She just need to be held and rocked to sleep by her Grandpa.)

This is an amazing time of life for me. I still have so much to learn and experience and so much to enjoy. As always, life is indeed sweet..
