Over a year ago, my Ava (on the left) asked if she could go spend 3 months in Italy and still have a job when she comes back 🫣
I said yes because she’s young, and should do things before you have bills and responsibilities, cause I wish I had when I was 20! I had actually told her to take Hailey (middle) with her because what an experience it will be! Well she thought about it and ultimately, Hailey decided to stay here but will take 2 weeks in October to visit in Italy as well!
Today was her last day working before she leaves on Sunday and we won’t see her again until after December 6th!
We celebrated with donuts and coffee for everyone! We hope she has all the experiences and fun, and comes back ready for the Christmas season! I’m definitely jealous she’s able to do this, and blown away by her confidence to go and be so far away from friends and family, growing in to being a wonderful adult…but can’t pick up a green bean out of the sink after dishes 🤣
We will miss you Ava!!
