Back to the West.

Aleksi's last day in Florida. 

And the depression starts, 

now. 

With the Snider's and Dorothy, 

we spent a better part of the day swimming at the beach.

It was sunny and then it rained. 

Like a movie. 

When everybody gets all depressed and sad, 

cue the thunder storm. 

[So Jenn, are you going to marry Keith?!]

Lots of kisses for Aleksi. 

Aleksi leaving us is heartbreaking, 

but add that with the all the Snider's leaving us on the same day,

and now we're sitting alone,

listening to our depressed playlist, photoshopping, rocking back and forth, and eating ice cream.

We enjoyed our last day together, 

but all too soon it was time to leave the beach, get cleaned up, 

and make our way to the airport. 

 Beach. 

Rain. 

Two favorite things. 

Siblings. 

Sniders. 

Dorothy. 

Wowza. 

It won't be back like this for a while. 

 Please. 

Rita's face. 

So cute.

How can that not make you smile?

And then, 

the goodbyes. 

 [The humidity, the sunburns, it was really dusty]

and that's not a tear falling from Aleksi's right eye, 

she did her makeup like Ke$ha.

Best of luck sister. 

Have fun in grad school. 

Miss you already! 

I wasn't kidding,
I've been photoshopping for almost four hours.
