Quinn went to his first concert last night, Iron & Wine. He stayed up the latest he's stayed up since he was born, 10pm!!! I have to admit, I was trying really hard not to think about him getting off his schedule and to just enjoy the concert. It was an awesome concert, I love his music. But I think Thurm & I both felt like that scene isn't as appealing as it once was. It made us appreciate that we are happily married and living the family life. I think we got our fill of being single, hanging out with all the hip people of SLC. But I do love a good concert. Especially at outdoor venues.








I went to Thurm's school a couple times this week to help him set up his classroom. And I realized that I'm a little disgruntled that his occupation requires me to forever be apart of high school. I couldn't wait to be out of high school and never looked back when I left. Only recently have I even been in contact with friends from high school. Not that I had a bad experience, but I was just biding my time till I could forever be done with petty girls, popularity contests, flirting with silly boys. A few years ago in college I ended up hanging out one evening with a couple of football players from high school. They both reminisced about high school being the "best days of their lives" and how they wished they could go back. I laughed out loud. That's just crazy. Thank goodness there are good teachers out there that are willing to put up with the silliness and arrogance of teenagers.
