Trent's senior year is flying by. College applications are in. Senior portraits are finished. (Enjoy a sneak peak!) Here are some things I want to remember about 17 year old Trent.
We don't have a third car, so usually Trent takes the bus to school. but once a week, I offer my car for Trent to drive to school. Usually, he declines, saying that the bus give him more Nintendo Switch time with his friends. (he takes his switch to school every day). plus, he doesn't really like driving.
Clean and orderly. Trent has the cleanest bedroom in the house. including mine. All shoes go in the coat closet next to the front door. It drives Trent NUTS when Jacob takes off his shoes and leaves them next to the front door. Sometimes I'll hear Trent come home from school, and mutter to himself, "He left his shoes out again. How hard is it to put your shoes away?" He will make a great husband someday!
Sweet--One weekend, Jacob was on a scout campout, so family prayer was just me, Trent and Ryan. Trent said the prayer. but the next morning, he said, "mom, last night in my prayer, I blessed Emily at college, but forgot to bless Jacob on his campout. I felt really bad about that so I want you to know that this morning I said another prayer for Jacob." I was impressed that he not only did that but wanted to talk with me about it.
sports--over the past year, I've noticed Trent seems much more invested in sports. He's always either watching or talking about whatever sport is in season. currently it's football and basketball. and he loves his fantasy football league!
next year's plans--no idea. He is having a hard time deciding between a year of college and then mission, or just leave on his mission right after graduating.
