A year ago today my Auntie Carol died. It's weird for me to think that it's been that long, and how much change has occurred in my life since that day.
My mom is taking a road trip from Portland, Ore. with our good family friend Beulah. My aunt, mom and Beulah always took time off during the summer to go on fun adventures — they started it when Zack and I were little, and they continued it when we got too old and had summer jobs. It's hard for me to think that they're coming down here without my aunt — because I know she would have been the first one to suggest it. I'm excited they're coming on Friday, but it's going to make me miss my aunt even more.
Those three always had too much fun together. We'd all laugh until we cried on all of the camping trips I ever went on, and I know they had even more uncensored fun when the kids stopped attending.
She'd be thrilled to know I'm actually employed in the profession I went to school for, that Tyler is doing well and that we have two puppies. She was very supportive of everything I did, and always took my side — only if I wasn't being a brat.
I will always keep Auntie Carol with me wherever I go; whether it's to New York, San Francisco or anywhere. I still have her house key on my key ring, and I always will.

I'm sorry Roomie, I miss your Auntie Carol too. Have fun with your mom while she's visiting. Pick out some nice rocks for her :)

Hey Sara, Hope all is well. Moses is so cute. Give him and Aspen kisses from me. Tell your mom Hi. I was looking over her blog and actually finally put something current in mine. Love to you. robyn
