The boys turned 19! One more year and we'll have two less teens. It's been a fun year watching them grow from school age teens, to adults semi out in the 'real world.' They both have grown up a lot.
Both boys wanted the same sort of thing for their birthday, a gaming system. We're past the point of getting them a surprise for their birthdays, so they knew it was coming and did have to put some money towards it.
Unfortunately the system Cam wants isn't released until next month, so right now it's just a dream.
It's been a new-ish tradition where we leave something outside of their room the night before their birthday. I don't know why or how it started, but we keep doing it.
Both picked a dinner they wanted and their own type of cake. Think they picked these same ones another year in the past.
It felt like I finished up their 'year in review' posts last year. There may have to be a time where that stops. I don't see doing it when they are in their 30s. I'll just slowly fade them out.
Beck has worked so hard this year. He has gotten into shape, like he wanted. He is working a ton at work and saving money. He has a lot of concerts this year to go to, which is perfect for a kid his age. The best part of being out of High School according to Beck is having more free time do to what I want.
Cam has changed a lot this year too. The college he thought he was going to go to ended up not working out, but the college he is going to is what's perfect for him. Being away from home was hard, but he also loved it and his first year of college down. The best part about being out of High School according to Cam is freedom, I like having more time and not having as strict of a schedule, especially with sleeping problems, it's nice to be up late doing something.
