Everyone measures time differently . . . some measure by the seasons, some measure by school years, some people have great memories and can remember exact dates. I am none of these people. I can barely remember what I had for breakfast. My memories are usually based on a couple of things -- where I was living at the time and who else was with me.
For example, the girls tease me all the time because I have an incredible memory for some things, others, not so much. I can remember what little outfit the girls were wearing but can't remember exactly what grade they were in or exactly what year. But I can remember if one of them was "in the stroller."
So here we are . . . our 2nd summer in Texas and KJ is about to start her JUNIOR year of high school. How in the hell did that happen? I mean seriously. How in the hell did that happen? She finally got her driver's license in June (after her cast came off) and her daddy took care of her and bought her a cute bright red convertible. She's been baby sitting and house sitting a lot this summer and had fun volunteering at the Aquarium each week. I think this is her "summer to remember." That golden summer measured by days at the lake, driving around with the top down and hanging with friends at Six Flags. Such a different place from where we were at this time last year.
We had just moved here, I was up to my eyeballs in boxes and we didn't know a soul. She had just finished freshman year in Maryland, we road-tripped from Maryland to Dallas with the dog in tow, closed on the house, buzzed to the pageant, she went out west with my folks, came home for 1 night and went to volleyball camp, came home for 1 day and then had high school volleyball try-outs. This summer we had T's graduation, moved her into her new apartment, had some family visit this summer and had some new friends to celebrate the 4th of July with! We had summer lax 3 nights a week (when I say "we" I mean Coach and KJ), we did a couple of day trips and have enjoyed working on our tans and lazy days by the pool.
And now our baby is about to start her JUNIOR year of high school. How in the hell did that happen??
