Living the Dream: Happy Birthday, Savannah!

Savannah and Erin at the game - Erin is from here and is like a big sister to Savannah

Savannah is celebrating her eighteenth birthday today, far far away in Cougar country. I think it's pretty safe to say that she jumped in with both feet and is making a big splash in her new little corner of the world. She is living her long-time dream of attending BYU and she's making the most of it!

She's got a job at the Cougareat, a full schedule, and a good head on her shoulders. She's had ups and downs but she's already shown that she can face whatever comes head on and work things out.

When our phone rang at 1:00 a.m. Sunday morning, it was Savannah screaming into the phone about BYU's big win over Boise State. She said it was the best night of her life! For her first ever home-opener football game, it was a pretty good one! She was so excited when everyone stormed the field after we pulled out a big win.

Needless to say, she is having the time of her life!

As much as we miss Savannah, we are in touch all the time. Texts, skype, e-mails... this sure beats communication with a missionary! I'm so glad she's including us in her BYU experience.

Happy Birthday, Savannah! I hope eighteen is your best year so far. :)
Love,
Mom
