Last week, Kent and I met with Blythe and her school counselor to talk about registration for next year. Blythe will be a freshman. WHAT?! I don’t know exactly how that happened. She chose some good electives and might be looking forward to high school. Maybe not. Hard to tell. Either way, it’s coming and this evening I took her to freshman orientation. We initially sat down just the two of us, but she saw her friend April and we went to sit by her. After an overly enthusiastic welcome from a vice principal and counselors, a RAH! RAH! RAH! speech from the principal, and a cheer from the cheerleaders, we went to see teachers and get some information. We saw the choir teacher, Mr. Oliphant, who told Blythe she wouldn’t have to audition for Sorella Vocce because she’s in Aria at Centennial. We saw Abbie, a senior tech crew person who encouraged her to turn in her tech crew application. And we talked to an English teacher about creative writing. Blythe saw many friends and so did I, including a mission companion, Gina Brown Peterson. Blythe is nervous about getting around and finding things, but we’ll have Brandt take her around one afternoon or early evening when he’s there for something, just so she feels like she knows her way around a bit. I am amazed that both of the kids will be in high school next year.
