Ta Ta for now

Ta has left. She is on her way to Idaho for 5 months. It is such a bittersweet feeling even though I know she will be back in two weeks to walk in the graduation ceremony at UCR.



Still, she is gone. My baby is all grown up.*wipes away a tear*








While Ta is not really known for procrastination like some others, she does do things on her own time table, which is certainly not mine. We finally got the hiking boots and socks she needed and an air mattress yesterday along with a mouse and case for her laptop. We rediscovered that neither of us really enjoys shopping all that much. It was nice to have that one last outing together, though.





<--Here she is studying some birds in Hawaii several years ago. Very typical.

She is going to be sharing a house with four other girls. One of the girls is from Alaska and she has been in Idaho since the orientation was over in Chicago. She has spent the week scouting out a place to rent for all of them.




Kind of difficult to satisfy five different girls over email. I'm glad the guy on the team said he'd rather get his own place.

I set up a blog for her to keep me updated on all she does up there and will post the address once she gives the go ahead.
