Abigail JOY!

This week was filled with emotions- happiness, joy, sadness and worry.  Most of these were for Abby- heehee.  On Wednesday she left from Jax to go to Beijing, China for a year commitment (we are hoping she will be back after that year....do you hear me ABBY?:P).  Tuesday night we took a few pictures together and hung out watching some TV.  Just a normal night before she left.  I am not what I would call a crier but man did I cry when she left our side on Wednesday afternoon.  Mostly for selfish reasons- knowing that we would be in contact but also just knowing how far away she is.  I cannot believe it- she has been there for just a couple days and already I miss her so much!  I am so very blessed to call my 3 siblings 3 of my very best friends.  Blessed blessed blessed!  We are also blessed because Abby managed to set up her phone so that we can text using iMessage- it's been so great to know what she is doing on the other side of the world.
We admire you so much Abby (and I think Jayme may have said the words "your sister is crazy" as we tracked your flight on an app) and can't wait until we get to see you in February (you better come back!) Love you!!
