I am so unbelievably proud of her and so excited for this new adventure she is embarking on! At the same time, she will be greatly missed.

Yesterday she and I went to our traditional "sister-date" restaurant, TGIFriday's, and had our "Last Supper" together there. We ordered our usual salad and tried a new entree. It was a bittersweet time of fellowship and conversation before saying goodbye later that night after I drove her down to Philly. In all my 21 years she and I have never been so far or so long apart. As you think of it, I'd appreciate prayers for her and for myself as we start this new journey of separation.

Oh, and if you happen to eat at TGIFriday's any time soon you should get the Pecan-crusted Chicken Salad. It's delicious, I highly recommend it.
