It's easy to think of growing up milestones like first date, driving, graduation, etc.. But there are some others that are not so conspicuous on the road of life. Emily passed a couple of them today. The first was a presentation today on a county of Utah. She did the presentation of Kane county all by herself (unlike the last one where we helped her a bit). Alicia said she was proud of her for the work she did. The second was a decision she made to stay home alone while the rest of the family came up to Salt Lake to pick me up from work. Emily was comfortable staying home alone, which is a rite of passage in itself, and Alicia was comfortable leaving her there for three hours.
Just like we noticed the little milestones when she was a baby, I suppose we're still conscious of these things the first time we experience them together. In some ways, Em is still our trailblazer and we're proud of the path she's plowing for the rest.
