Middle School already, it can’t be

One of the best things I’ve heard is that the days can sometimes be long but the years go by so fast. I think it’s very true. The years since Ellie was born have been a blur. I remember having a hard time with her starting kindergarten. I can remember that like it was yesterday. Tonight I’d be grudgingly went to a middle school orientation. I can’t believe in six months her girl starts middle school. I am not ready for the teen years. 

I always dreaded the teen years of parenting, probably because I don’t think my teen years were great. I pray for Ellie to have a better experience. I pray for wisdom in my parenting.I pray for patience. And I recently told David we needed a wine cellar as a back up plan. Well actually, that’s been my dream for years really. And now seems as good a time as any to make that dream come true. 

Ellie says she’s just a little bit nervous and excited for middle school. I look forward to watching my girl shine like the star she is!
