Trevon Leaves the Nest

This past Monday we threw Trevon a surprise party for his birthday (which is tomorrow).

We made him a yummy carrot cake from scratch, decorated the house, shared a few gifts with him (including TEXTING for his phone), and had a BBQ. This was the day Sae came to stay with us too.

On Wednesday he headed to Orem, where he will be going to college. We said our good-byes:

Trevon is in the honors program at Utah Valley University and was blessed to get an honors housing scholarship as well. He shares an apartment with two guys (at the moment), Brick and Josh, and has his own bedroom. Mike went up north with him to help him get settled, but Trevon had everything figured out and Mike was more of a tag along! Here are a few photos of his apartment and room:

 Mike's brother owns a pizza restaurant in Provo and Trevon has already started working there. He has enjoyed it so far, with some of his co-workers attending BYU. On Thursday night, they were pleasantly surprised to visit with Mike's cousins who were in town for Education Week at BYU. They met at SLAB Pizza and had a GREAT visit together.

It is hard to believe that the time has come for Trevon to leave home. He has been so excited about being on his own; grown-up and self-sufficient. We are so pleased with the young man he has grown into and look forward to watching the rest of his life unfold. WE LOVE and MISS YOU TREVON!
