Sad News and More Sad News

I've spent the last hour registering my LAST child for 9th Grade. Aarrgh! Where have the years gone? I cannot believe that Alivia, although housed at the junior high, is starting her first year of high school. Only four years left with a child at home. The empty nest syndrome is creeping up on me much to quickly.

In other news, my "daughter" Rachel, is getting married in two days. I was there through the pregnancy, birth, and sharing our two children during the first years of their lives. Rachel and Zack were born just a day apart and have been terrific friends. He is in Brazil, and she is getting married. To me, she is still that little, doe-eyed girl with a killer smile. Her mother, Pamme, has been the most amazing friend and confidant.

Congratulations, Rachel and Travis!
