365/6 Ashley moves to Mexico

Ashley said "Good Bye" to her sisters at home and then to her Papa in front of the airport. (Yes, Danan came with us to the airport.)

This is a posed picture. I helped her check in the luggage and gave her a last hug goodbye before she went through the metal detectors. She flew to TX and then on to Leon, Mexico. Late that evening we received a confirmation call to say she'd landed and Miguel was there to pick her up. It's about an hours drive from the airport to Miguel's in Guanajuato, MX. Ashley will be teaching at the Guanajuato Universidad in Irapuato, MX this semester. She will be teaching Levels 3 & 4 English to the University students, Miguel teaches Levels 1 & 2.


I managed to keep it together for Ashley's sake until we pulled away from the terminal. It is very hard to say goodbye to your child when they are moving to another country and you're not sure when you will see them again. I've been dreading it for an entire year, another one grown and flown....just wished their wings and hearts didn't carry them so far away. We are so very proud of her accomplishments and her determination to make a difference in the world; not just in her bank account. We will miss her dearly and look forward to hearing all about her future adventures. I'll keep you posted!
