I started my first day of college the day she turned 16. I wasn't around for her dating years so I feel like she's still 15, but she's not. She's 20, and in the last year she handled full-time school and three jobs. More than I have ever done in my last 4 years of college.
Rachie Face has always been a role model for me. She did everything the right way after graduating from high school. I was just dying to get out of Arizona, I guess I didn't really think much of the benefits of staying home for a year or two. She's about to finish getting her Associates at MCC (well, she actually just transferred to Dixie so she will get it there), and I am no closer to betting my Bachelor's than I was when I first started at BYU.
She has always shown me how blessed one can be in the gospel; continually reading her scriptures and saying her prayers even when it did not seem timely to do so. And trust me, I know this because when I was visiting home she and I were squished into the same bed all over again, and even after I had crawled in, there she was reading away; being her best 24/7.
I'm still trying to come to the realization that this little girl-
is now all grown up with a man of her own...
She couldn't have found a better man suited for her. Congrats to you two. Sorry this post is more poetic and nice. I just had to get it out while I could.
Thankfully she's now only 3 1/2 hours away and can visit more.
