Welcome Emily!
I’m LDS too. We’re in Ohio and have 4 kids 18 (19 next month-has to wait a year to serve a mission because of Lyme Disease so he’s going to BYU-Idaho in the fall), 13, 10 and 9.
This forum is the only one I ever look at. I’m not really a forum kind of person, but I love this one. Everyone here is very helpful and courteous. I really appreciate how Sonya and Doug and the SCM Team have set the tone for the forum and have drawn that kind of group to it.
