The Year and the Decade

Anne-with-an-e asked me to name the biggest things -- for me -- of the past year and the past decade. The wow-factor highlights are pretty easy to recall:

The Decade:

In 2000, Atticus was received into the Catholic Church. Five years earlier, I had predicted (o, me of little faith) that that'd never happen.

In 2002, Ramona was born. After so many miscarriages, none of us saw that coming either.



The Past Year:

My first book was published.

Anne suggested I mention that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince came out in theaters. I said that I thought I would, instead, mention my book.

"Oh," she said. "Well. I guess that was a highlight, too."
