...and she's off!
Some of you may not know, but today my little sister Alison moved to Caceras, Spain for the next year. She will be working for the government of Spain teaching English in the public schools, part-time (and traveling the rest of the time). This day has come after at least six months of waiting, including weeks of wondering when her much-needed student visa would arrive. My parents are vacationing in Europe for a few weeks, and conveniently Alison's visa arrived on Friday afternoon. Friday was a mad dash of scrambling, to get a plane ticket for today (Monday), arrange transportation, make packing lists, say goodbyes, and everything else you do before moving out of the country!
I just wanted to post how proud I am of my sis! I talked to her today during her layover in Philadelphia, before departing for Madrid and she said, "Kelly, I can't believe I am doing this. What am I doing?!!?!?" I could hardly contain my excitement for her, and it left me thinking all day long about how life is too short to NOT move somewhere in Europe. It's just so awesome and AMAZING! More of her comments included waiting in line in Philly for the flight and being spoken to in Spanish by several different people. She must have the European look down, because that never happened to Jeff and I! :-) Al--I am so excited and proud of you. This will be a life-changing, irreplaceable experience.

Kristen and Brian's wedding
Last weekend was the wedding of our good friends Kristen and Brian. I was one of the bridesmaids and have known Kristen since second grade (18 years??!!!?). It was beautiful and everyone enjoyed the day, especially them! The reception was at the Waterfront Restaurant, down the street from Autzen Stadium where the Ducks play...at the same time as the Ducks vs. Huskies game!! However...everything went perfectly, traffic was good, and there were no worries! What a magical day.
