Corbin lately

When did this punchy little pumpkin grow up so much? Did I approve this? 

Corbin has a cutie date to BHS Homecoming. He asked her in the cutest way (that he came up with on his own) by showing up at her house with Raising Cane’s and a poster that said “Cane’s you be my date to HOCO? We would make a great combo”. Brooklyn is adorable and Corbin had fun meeting all her little siblings, who were eager to do what little siblings do when a teenager drops by to see their big sister. He also met Brooklyns parents, whom I already know, but it was delightful to watch him squirm a bit anxiously. 

15 has been pretty funny for Corbin. He has an entourage of bros with him at all times and they run around playing basketball, going to the square for whatever excitement is happening that week downtown, watching every kickoff or sporting event they can, working out at the gym or one of our houses, swimming, pickleball or volleyball courts, and of course a million trips to Don’s (Mc Donald’s). They are crazy active and always on the go. 

The other day, I noticed a mirror leaning on the dumpster at a local storage unit and the boys decided it would be perfect for our home gym. So we took a little field trip and I died over the amount of flexing they did before putting said mirror into the van. Landon picked it up and gasped “there’s a baddie in this mirror!” They’re so funny. 

Corbin currently serves as Teachers Quorum President in our ward, and one Sunday, the bishopric and Elders Quorum presidency were all out of town. Our stake High counselor sat on the stand, but we joked from our pew that if Brother Cutler hadn’t been there, Corbin would have been the presiding priesthood holder in the meeting lol. Corbin takes his calling seriously and does a really great job leading the quorum and finding opportunities for them to serve the members in our ward and out in the community. He also serves on our ward Activities Committee and helps set up and take down chairs and tables for ward gatherings. My dear friend was hospitalized after an aneurysm two weeks ago, and there was an invitation to fast and pray for her before she went into a very complicated surgery. Corbin prayed for his friend and Steezy teammate and for his mom that morning in our family prayers and texted me around 3:30 that afternoon “how long do we fast for?” I was really touched that he had decided to participate in exercising faith for his friend’s mom. 

The kids Corbin runs around with are all great, and there seem to be new faces coming by our home with him every day. This week, he brought the Steezy Boys over to watch the first NFL game. He did text a few minutes before they arrived, “can I bring a few friends over for kickoff?” Which translated to aaron to pick up 3 cases of soda and some snacks.  I love that he is so inclusive, and an inviting host.
