Russia

Life has been hectic basically since the end of November. Andrew had the opportunity to travel to  Moscow and St. Petersburg for a job interview. He was gone for a week and I was so worried about being alone with Jack for that long. It was definitely the longest stretch without any back up. It gave me a new found respect for single parents and people who have partners that have to be gone for long periods of time. 

While he was in Russia they were having huge protests about the election. He was right in the middle of the giant 28,000 person protest. You can see the military marching in behind him.

We definitely missed him and we were so happy to have him home.

Luckily I have an amazing family and my little sister flew out to hang out with me. It was nice to just have some fun time with her one on one. I feel like I am missing out on everything involving my siblings. So it was just nice to have a girls movie night and be able to talk late into the night. Also just have someone else around. We took her to the zoo and one of the giant malls. She was definitely in teenage girl heaven.
