I feel like lately I've been focusing a lot on putting the finishing touches on Quinn so he's ready to launch. He's been very busy with working, doing his Eagle stuff (though his project is over there's still lots to do), finishing Drivers' Ed. (he's had his permit for almost 2 years now, and is a good driver -- it's just jumping through the rest of the hoops to get that license), working on college applications, and he took the SAT for the second time yesterday (if he can get just 10 more points between the reading and math sections he should get a full tuition scholarship to BYU!). Then he'll have to finish his Duty to God and keep focusing on what major he wants to do. But I'm feeling the finality of it all.
Last week he took Kylie Anderson to Battlefield's Homecoming dance with some other friends. He made her a wrist corsage from some roses that he grew -- he loves to garden. But he said that compared to Mormon Prom it was really lame and the atmosphere was NOT good -- very dark, no decorations, girls very immodest, music no good. They came over here and watched a movie after a while. When you're raised in the light, you recognize the darkness (sorry if that sounds elitist or smug -- it's true).
