Life begins to take a different season....

Today while I sat at the DMV for 3 hours with our second child Tyler, who is now a permitted driver.(Oh, Boy here we go!) I was thinking and believe me I had plenty of time to think. Wow, my second child is starting a new stage in his life. And oh my, so am I. While we were at the DMV Kevin our oldest was at Chaffey College taking his assessment test for the fall. And I realized that I have a child in College. And we are heading down a very new season in our family. Its time for me as a mother to do a little letting go, and that is not so easy. But, I truly am looking forward to this season. I hope I am ready for more letting go. They were headed together on a boys trip down to the beach for three days. It was Kevin and two of his friends that have also graduated this year and Tyler. That was a little harder to do than I thought. But, I know they will have some great stories to come home and tell us all about. This is a year of much change in the Beck home. David should be coming to the end of being bishop sometime this year, Megan our youngest will be baptized in June of 2009, and Kevin will be getting ready to go on a mission. Lots of changes, and what exciting changes they will be. Hopefully I will be up to all the changes to come. After leaving the DMV, and driving home again for the second time with a new driver. Which really never gets easier. I walked in the door to my 7 year old playing upstairs with all her stuffed animals and dressed up to the hilt. My 13 year old and my 11 year old playing each other on the WII, and I had to smile for a moment. I realized life really wasn't changing that much. Yes, they were growing up and moving into different stages of life. But, what a fun ride it will be too watch them grow and change. It has been so great watching Kevin grow over this last year and gain a testimony of the gospel and be looking forward to going on a mission. It will be also great to watch the rest grow and learn and enjoy life. Wow, I can't believe this family what did I do to be able to be their mom. This is a great Job. I am the Mother of Kevin, Tyler, Kyle, Trevor, and Megan Beck. I am the wife of David Beck. I am grateful every day for this wonderful blessing. I can't believe how much I love them all. Thank you family for making this such a pleasure and joy.
