18 years ago this little guy, not so little anymore, made me a mom! It was one of the best days of my life. When he was young he and I did everything together. He was my little buddy. He loved going on walks everyday with his mom. He loved waking up at 6 am to watch winnie the Pooh and Totoro. He has always been a smart kid. He learned to sing “I am a child of God” in Japanese by the age of 2. He has always been sensitive to others feelings and gets really concerned when someone isn’t feeling well or is sad.

Preston is a ham! He loves to make people laugh and have fun with them. He has a witty sense of humor. Preston is a good big brother to his little brother and sister. He is always there to help them out when they need him.

When we moved 5 years ago it was tough on Preston. He struggled finding his place. Eventually he fell in love with music and theater. He has been blessed with an amazing tenor voice. He often sits at the piano and plays a song to a broadway musical and sings. I love that!

Preston loves acting in his high schools plays and musicals. He usually gets the part that is hilarious. We love going and seeing him perform. The past few months have been a bummer like it is for most seniors. He was super bummed when their school musical was cancelled. He was going to play Donkey in Shrek the Musical.

Preston’s future is bright. He is planning on going to Idaho State University in the fall. He was able to get a 4 year academic scholarship full tuition. He is planning on being involved in the theater program there. I can’t wait to see him perform there. He is amazing and I hope he has very Happy 18th Birthday!
