Yesterday Brent flew to Utah from New York. I arrived from San Jose and we met at the Salt Lake airport. This trip will be a short one (maybe 36 hours tops). But, it's BYU Parents Weekend! And, with our final college senior heading down the homestretch, this looks like our last parent's weekend. So, we can't miss a final chance to hover and helicopter parent!
Our kids are pretty good sports about parents who don't want to miss a moment of their adventures and endeavors. We're probably the epitome of overly enthusiastic parenting. But there is nothing we get more excited about, worry over more, or find more pride in, than our kids!
Paige is quite certain she is the only Senior with Parent Representation this weekend (she could be right). But she got to meet President Samuelson and he was super friendly so perhaps there are a few perks!
It was great yesterday to wander around BYU and soak up the culture of the campus! The 1st half of my college education was at BYU. Happy memories. Now, the 2nd half of Paige's bachelor's degree has been earned here at BYU (all set to graduate in April. Go Pooge!)
BYU is a pretty unique school set in a pretty unique state. I probably appreciate the good things about BYU more as an alumni than during my student days. But, overall, while there are positives and negatives to life in Utah, for the most part, it's a great place! And, quite stunning with all the fall colors!
