yesterday we put my cousin, jamey, on a plane to st petersburg, russia for a year. the departure was bittersweet because, yes, she will be gone for a year, but she is finally getting to do what she has dreamed of for a decade or so now. she'll be teaching photography in a school in st petersburg while working with missionaries there as well. i believe she's there now. arrived this morning after what was sure to have been a bear of a flight. mine was when i went. she, like me, arrives just in time for the famous white nights. she'll have a little more time before they're in full swing, though. i loved them. then again, i can sleep in broad daylight. or night light.
