Dear reader, the girls have gone to school and the house is quiet, except for the wind and rain blustering outside. Through the night the elements raged and I slept fitfully, half dreaming I was back in my old house, looking out the window at a storm battering the forested mountain which slopes down to my childhood backyard.
I'm up now, more awake, looking out the window at a dripping palm tree and grey skies.
Even reality can seem surreal, at times.
To wit: Sophie recently committed to play volleyball for BYU in 2015.
2015? What year are we in, anyway?
I'm so happy for her. Happy to see her so happy. But also in a state of disbelief, of wonder...I'll spare you my usual spiel on how it seems just yesterday she was my blinking, brown-eyed baby.
But it does.
