So, yesterday I forgot to post...and thus, I'll attempt to make up for it now. :)
Yesterday I had quite the day with my sister snatched at birth ;) The lovely, Anna Katori Smith-Sargent!.JPG)
Yes...I am quite aware that we look absolutely ridiculous. That's the way we like it! Anna helped me shop for some host family gifts, (delicious kentuckian bourbon truffles!) and then we proceeded to walk some odd 5 miles up to the woodland art fair and back. Might I add it was not at all a relief to "be back" as we were not home for ten minutes before we had a lovely night of babysitting. Ah the joys of teendom... Nevertheless, it was another epic time to add to our list, and I'll miss her fiercely! Although every time she mentioned that "Eva...this is one of our last days together..." I sincerely wanted to whap her on the head endearingly.
Today was another bittersweet interlude. I got up early( and yes 9 is early ^^), and we went to the Arboretum(really gorgeous flower garden) to take pictures of the family before I go off on my own adventure. It was one of those perfect days that makes you really appreciate what you have, with the sun beating down on your face as you smile up into it and see flowers as far stretching as the sea... It was weird thinking that my 4 and 6 year old sisters won't be jumping on my back, pulling my hair, and acting out stories wherein I'm a magical dancing leaf a week from now. It really is surreal.
Again on the bittersweet note, I said a final goodbye to my grandparents today. Thankfully, they've discovered whatsapp(an amazing free international texting app that you should all get btw!) and I'll be keeping in touch. :)
p.s. Eva the procrastinator actually made a to do/to pack list today! I know I shouldn't be too proud of myself but....well...a little self approval isn't awful right?
Salut pour maintenant ;)
