American Heritage is a private school that was built right next to the Mount Timpanogos Temple. In fact, walking out of the front doors of that school, the temple is perfectly framed in the doors and is right there. The school is a private LDS school. My nephew, Abram, attended that school for a while, but hated it. Probably because he wasn't given a choice in the matter.
But really, Abram could be a whole different post, and I don't want to talk about him right now. I want to talk about Alec. Or rather, Helena and Alec.
Alec invited Helena to attend a performance by his other orchestra (the Lyceum Orchestra), and Helena asked it she could go. I purchased two tickets and went with her.
I WISH I HAD BOUGHT TICKETS FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!!!!!
The performance was entitled "The Price of Freedom". Click on the name to check it out! Words cannot do it justice! Helena and I spent half of the performance in tears, and at one point she was completely sobbing! SUCH a good show! The orchestra was amazing, the performers were excellent, and the video/lighting/effects were all top notch! The composer asked veterans and families of veterans to stand before the performance, and again during the final number. Helena and I stood in honor of my great grandpa, my grandfather, my dad, my brother, my brother-in-law, and my son. That is a lot of military service and I am proud I got to stand for them!
But this post isn't just about the performance. It is about Alec.
You see, he likes Helena. She thought it might be the case, and I confirmed it when I saw the way he looked at her after the show. We were out in the milling crowd, and I saw him before he saw us. It was obvious that he was anxiously looking for someone and his face lit up when he saw her. His family had come to the matinee, so he was only looking for her.
We invited him to join us at JCW's, a local burger joint, because, you see...
Helena likes him, too.
