mile·stone
[mahyl-stohn]

a significant event or stage in the life, progress,development, or the like of a person, nation, etc.

Tyler is 1/4 of the way through his senior year at Vantage Point High School. A new year... a new school... a new Tyler. He has made amazing strides since April. He just graduated from the Discovery Program - a mandatory required class at Vantage Point. Today is day 3 of seminary attendance - thank you Taylor Carlson, whom I have loved for almost 25 years (I used to be his nanny so I can say that).

Tyler gave a talk in church yesterday on Keeping the Sabbath Day holy... something we can all strive to and be better at. His purple tie matched the purple accents in his black hair. He looked so handsome and did a great job for speaking off the cuff (no notes or written out talk).

Sometimes life doesn't turn out the way you want or expect, but things happen to you for a reason. Tyler is my biggest reason for life today!
