Market Street Goodbye

wyatt and chelsea are leaving on friday for med school on the wonderful island of Dominica. what adventures await them. far less fashionable clothes that are necessary because of the climate, no car to drive around and a lot of walking (which i love!), beautiful beaches on a beautiful island, a cute little rental home, furniture that is not anywhere near their taste, unfamiliar food in the grocery stores, looking forward to subway and kentucky fried chicken as the only american restuarants on the island, and much much more! i sort of made that all sound bad which was not my intention at all. like i said "an adventure awaits"! we had one final dinner with the entire horsley bunch. pretty soon we loose maddie and matt as well. our family's "too good to be true years" are ending with everyone living within an hour of each other. sad days ahead. oh how i'm going to miss them all! i had to post pictures from last night. not because i have some many great ones, but because matt crane somehow managed to make his way into 80% of them. so here is a tribute going out to matt.......your goofy faces have finally got you noticed!

the tush picture

A couple that he didn't make it in, but are still keepers.

all the girls - what a great bunch. apparently my older sisters are quite a bit shorter than me. something i always knew but is very apparent when i'm standing in the middle of them.

and one final mosaic. my friend jeanette soffe took amazing pictures of my little dance group. here are a few of them. embarrassing that the only one that would fit in the larger slot is a single picture of me. she's amazing and so fun to work with! so if anyone needs a photographer, come talk to me!
