Little Amanda is starting at BYU on Monday. My niece, my sister's beautiful youngest child, is going to college. I can't believe it. She's not little any more. She's a babe!

I picked her up at the airport this week and I've been fawning over her ever since. We drive down to Heritage Halls today, and then I'll try to be mature and leave her to start this new chapter of her life.

I'm already prepping my bosses for the new Amanda who will be ready to take my place in 4 years, and unlike her Aunt Amanda (who as many of you know is a proud Utah alum), will actually know the Cougar Fight Song.
