Missing the "motherland"

Thought I'd share a couple photos this morning from my second trip to Italy last year. It's hard to believe it's been a little over a year now since I have visited. I'm so thankful I took the opportunity while I was still in school.

I've been trying to collect all my photos from the trip, seeing that we all exchanged photos after arriving back home. I've been looking for these gala photos and I finally found them!

Italy really seems to make me completely, 100% happy. Maybe it is the company I am in, or the surroundings, I haven't quite figured it out yet. But Italy is my "happy place." It's like nothing else I've ever experienced and I wanna go back! Hint Hint! Someone please surprise me for Christmas with another amazing opportunity to travel abroad! That would be the best ever! Hey, a girl can dream, right!?



And here are my friends (from left to right) Sami, Monica and Jennifer. Looks like Monica and Jenn might be coming to visit me soon. I really hope they do! It would be great!


Okay, well let's all raise our glasses and tip our hats to Italia!
