New Scrapbook Layouts
Since I have been on strict couch/bedrest since I've pneumonia, I have been doing some digital scrapbooking as Ron banned me from my craft/scrapbook/sewing room. He said scrapbooking I still have to move my arms around which puts me into a coughing fit. So I've been working with my two incredible digital products made by Creative Memories. One is the photo managing software called Memory Manager...it is AWESOME! So much easier to work than Photoshop and then the Storybook Plus software which is also giving Photoshop a run for it's money. Anyway, had fun doing it! The one of the little girl is my little great niece, Delayney.

Saltymission
I started a new blog today. It's called Saltymission and I will be keeping it up during Scott's mission to keep family and friends informed about what Scott is doing. Check in my sidebar for Saltymission and that will take you there. If you post a comment, I will be sure to send it on to Scott....er, Elder Saltmarsh.
Today was a hard day, but in the end, there is nowhere I would rather have him be than in the MTC. Those 3 weeks were some of the most amazing of my life. I'm so excited to have him be there and taking it all in.
Love you Scott. Miss you, too.
This picture pretty much says it all here:

Step on my heart
I'm just so so so sad today. I feel like my heart has been ripped out and stomped on. :(

Nearing the end
It's been a few days since I updated......
Finally got the pictures back from the photographer. He did an okay job. I think the subject matter is great, but I think I could have done just as well. Oh well.....I learned from watching. Anyway, I can't believe how fast these past few weeks have gone by. So much going on with the play and Jordan finishing up baseball and Scott preparing to graduate and everything that comes along with that.
Scott was honored last week at the high school for a few things. He got awards for the following things: Having a 4.0 GPA, a Science award, or letter, in science, and a scholarship to BYU. He also had been nominated as the Valedictorian, along with 20 other students, but wasn't chosen for that. What do they say....it's an honor just to be nominated! Scott has always been so conscience about learning and has always been so inquisitive. From th beginning of his life, he was so inquisitive, and slightly obsessed, with all things mechanical or scientific. He loved playing with the vacuum, and watching the garage door go up and down. Once computers came into his life, he has never been the same. He is mostly self-taught, and has several teachers at school ask him to fix their computers (because the IT guy is too lazy to do it, or they ask him to break through the filter to access YouTube! ha!
With all the things that Scott has accomplished in his schooling, I think as a mom I am most proud of his dedication to so many things that are so important to him. He is valiant and loyal, he honors his priesthood, has strong values and is a dedicated servant of the Lord. He is a sweet son, who has an underlying wicked sense of humor, though few people get to actually see it. He values friendships and relationships and questions deep things. He has always been a deep thinker...trying to figure things out. I guess that's why he has been so successful in school. It has been funny to see him get a little bit of "senioritis" the last few weeks of school. He actually didn't study for a math test the other night! Oh, the horrors! Today we are headed over to the Marriott Center for a rehearsal for Graduation Day, which is on Thursday.
I'm glad that Heavenly Father has let me be Scott's mom. Scott, I'm proud of you.

Seriously?
Seriously, when did this happen???
Scott and I went to the photographer's yesterday to have his picture taken. Wow. I haven't been teary or nervous to have Scott go on his mission. In fact, I have been quite excited about it. We have been having conversations about my mission, and it has been fun to reflect on the things that happened to me, and possibly may happen to him. I guess I am a little nervous in some ways because I know the things that could happen to him. Much worse things happen to Elders than Sisters!
When I saw this picture of him on the preview screen of him holding his scriptures, it was the first time I got........um.......well.......hate to admit it...... tearful.
I am very excited for him to be leaving on an adventure that will change his life in many ways. He told me several months ago that the only thing he really wanted to do was go on a mission. I know what my mission did for me in terms of defining my testimony and making some lifetime friends. I only hope that he will have the same, if not greater, experiences that I did. So, Scotty, if you are reading this. I am SO proud of you and so honored to be your mother. It seems like you were just a little boy, and I think that's the hardest part of letting you go. It really did go by "so fast".
