Kitty Whiskers & Paper Parasols

My mind is everywhere at the moment. What to write about...
My best friend is moving to South Africa much sooner than thought and we are both kinda stunned. She has so much to do and planning to figure out, but I'm beginning to wish for those nights and moments when we would hang out in the middle of the night or giggle about stupid things. I just found out about the changes, so my mind is swimming.
To add another thing in the mix, another friend of mine wrote to Travis and I am I found myself hanging off her words. *sigh*
I can't wait to see you again Laura, I'm sure you have many things to tell me about Turkey.
It was so wonderful hearing how she is and how she is fairing with the whole change in the government there. She is such a trooper. I can't wait to see her again this next year. So I'm feeling sentimental about her...
and also, a group of us are going on a race called "The Amazing Race". It comes from the show, but it's so much fun! We are going to California and I can't wait to start. :)
One more thing, and if you've read this far-kudos to you, we are having our cats watched over the weekend and since we got our new kitten, I'm sad.
So, recapping: I'm emotional. :)
