Italy tomorrow...

((There have been many people who have asked me to send emails, pictures, updates, etc. every once in a while, so I hope this blog will function as a way to keep everyone updated as much as possible with all my new adventures.))


I can't believe it's already time for me to go to Italy. Sometimes big ideas are so big they always seem far off. But suddenly my ((quite large)) bags are packed and at 4:30 tomorrow I'll be on my way to Bologna via Frankfurt. Of course I'm very excited and grateful to have this experience, but I can't hide the fact that I'm also pretty nervous to be gone for three months...so far from the people I love and everything that is familiar to me. I'm almost homesick already as I sit in my room and type this.

Graduation was great, but sad as I had to leave my friends and school. My brother Christian came for the weekend which was very special. Then my other brother Justin flew in for Christmas with one night overlapping Christian's visit and then Brett flew in Christmas night, that night overlapping Justin's last. So it's been a whirlwind of visitors since graduation, but all my favorite people so it's been wonderful.

Italy stories to come... :)
