Its a week into school and I am on the verge of tears...my little sister (10) just sent me an e-mail saying that she misses me and she wants to hear my voice and that she is crying so much because she misses me. I miss her sooo much! I really miss being around my parents...but what really makes me sad is knowing that Claire (my sis) grew up in Ukraine and will probably always consider that her home...and might possibly live there for the rest of her life...while I on the other hand consider the US my home and even if I do move to another country...it would't be Ukraine. So we will grow up in two different countries and we will never be a normal family in that sense...we will always miss each other and thats the way it will be for the rest of our lives. Am I going too far into this? Anyway....here is a picture of her that she sent me...she's soooo cute!

Road trip...wal-mart...storage... unpacking... Belle Canto booth...books...audition (yikes!) ...OH School!
