Cheerio, She's London Bound

Goodbyes are such a bother. How to bid adieu to your roommate, concert companion, fellow Beatles enthusiast, and fashionista sister?  18 months is a terribly long time to be away on a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, but 18 months serving in London, England has to be second best to spending time with her sisters, right?  Today was farewell for Sister S., and was it tough.  Perhaps rougher knowing that she will miss the alt-J concert to hit Salt Lake a month after she leaves, but maybe that isn't the reason we were all tearful.  Though its sad to see her go, I'm thrilled to doodle her letters and hear of her adventures and various culinary escapades (she is rather picky when it comes to food). But most of all, I can't wait to see her next spring...In London, of course.  Why wouldn't this be a good excuse to visit Big Ben?
