Sweethearts

A couple of weeks ago Logen and Shelbe were going to go to the Sweethearts Dance.  The dance was being held at Boise State University for all the local high schools which means there was going to be A LOT of kids at this event.

About a week before the dance Shelbe and Logen decided not to attend the dance.  I, personally,  supported their decision.  I think there is way too much pressure put on kids to have this intense, awesome “high school experience” …….after all they are only freshman.  They have three more years for all the dances and experiences.   Don’t get me wrong, I love that love that Logen is involved with activities at school.  He attends a lot of the sporting events and he supports his girlfriend, Shelbe, with her cheerleading by attending the games she cheers at.  He is also involved in acting at school and will be in a featured play this spring.  I know the remaining three years will go by fast but the kids will have the experience they want and enjoy their high school years, after all it is their experience not ours….we had our chance.

Off my “soapbox” and back to the story……Logen decided to make the day of the dance special even though they had decided not to go.  He bought and surprised Shelbe with two dozen pink roses.  They were absolutely beautiful.  Shelbe was surprised. 

And if anybody is wondering…does it freak me out a little bit that these two teenagers (14 & 15) have been dating for eight months now??  yes it does;  Especially after talking to a special friend of ours…Linda told me that she was the kids age when she met her husband Jeff and they have been together ever since.  They just celebrated their anniversary…..34 years!  Congratulations….but I am still a little freaked out!  :)

With Love,
