Is that the time already?!?

It's 5:15 a.m., and I just woke up my oldest daughter. It's her first day at Seminary. I know in years to come, this will be a small milestone. But my baby girl is officially a high schooler. Where did the time go? I have heard it before... that the time will fly so quickly.... that children will be gone in a blink of an eye. I had no idea really what that would feel like. I had no idea how thrilling and terrifying that really would be. Most of my religious knowledge is based on everything I learned in Seminary. This day begins the most poingnant time in her relgious education. And she has no idea how much this will affect the rest of her life. How fun to be here for the "before". I can't wait for the "after". Of course, the next 13 years, I'm sure I won't be as excited to be up so early!
