bon voyage

I was so lucky to be able to have Cassie and my mom here for almost the whole month of August. Caitlin loved having grandma and Aunt Cassie around to play with her (i think she gets a little sick of me sometimes) and it was so nice for me to have some extra help. We got to do lots of fun things together like shopping, going to lunch, running errands, sewing projects, going to dinner, more shopping, seeing the movie "The Help", getting pedicures, canning and cooking. It was just fun to more people around all the time to just hang out with during the day. It's the little things.

And now they are gone. My mom back to Texas and Cassie off to Jerusalem! She is doing study abroad over there for the fall semester and we won't see her until after Christmas! It's going to be hard having her gone for so long, but at the same time I am extremely excited (and a little jealous) for her and the adventures and sights she will get to see.

And it turns out her adventures could not wait to begin as she left Tuesday morning and flew from Salt Lake to Phoenix, then promptly got a cancelled flight and stuck in the PHX airport with 50 of her other classmates and completely missed their flight to Israel. GOOD LUCK!

If you want to stay posted on her travels for the next 4 months, you can check out her blog: http://www.classyadventuresofcassie.blogspot.com/

Love you and miss you both!
