Today was a bitter sweet day. Bitter to know I will not get to see her for the next 18 months, or call her, or talk to her, or enjoy her presence in my house. Sweet knowing she is doing something she really wants to do, and the Lord is looking out for her. It was so hard to leave her at the curb. Do you know how much I wanted to go with her? I am a bit jealous of the things I know she is giong to experience over the next year and a half. All of you who know her as I do have no doubt she will be an awesome missionary. The past 4 months having her home, if you can call it that since she spends more time out with her friends, or volunteering in Mexico, has been a wonderful growing experience for both of us. I am privileged to call her my daughter. Good grief I love this kid!

She will be a great missionary. I bet it is really hard to let her go though. I am glad you were all able to make it to my shower. It was so great to have you there.
Keep us posted on all her adventures! She will be fantastic!
