I wanted to get this out by Lia’s birthday on July 30, but I couldn’t think of what to say. It’s a big time in her life and a milestone in ours as well and there are a lot of emotions conflicting inside me, so nothing sounds appropriate.
She’ll be heading off to college in just a couple of weeks and won’t be with us for a few months. It will be strange and a little bit emptier.
Anyway, here are some of my favorite pictures of her.
We took a lot of pictures at this little turnout at Deer Creek. Now they’ve removed it to add another two lanes to the highway.

We both still love to nap.
This was on a day trip we took to Vernal. I love how excited she was to share whatever with us.
She does still like to do things her own way.
I’m not sure what Berrett would say of this picture.
This is one of my favorites.
This is from the dance that I was supposed to write about more than a year ago.
And now she’s graduated.
(Sigh)

Congratulations Lia. It does get better with time Steve. It's amazing what leaving home does for their perspective of home.
Lia you are beautiful!!! I can't wait to hear about your adventures at college. Have a fun time! Oh but study....very important :)
A lovely tribute to a great gal. We are looking forward to hearing about how school is going. I remember how I felt when we left RaeAnne at Ricks, but it does get better. Love you all.
Happy Birthday and Congrats! It was so fun to have you here! What a beautiful girl, inside and out!
