I am Officially Back!

Hallelujah! It has been an adventure to get back to Utah, let alone the U.S. But as of today, I am back and settled in Orem in my new apartment. It was quite a frustrating trip back home and I am so grateful to be here and to be in America.
1. Delta lost our tickets from Florence to Rome so we had to pay for them again, they are reimbursing us once the finally admitted it was their fault.
2. It took 2 hours for our luggage to be loaded in Rome so it was then delayed 2 hours.
3. Because of the delay in Rome we missed our flight back to Utah.
4. We had to stay the night in New Jersey...in a hotel, but we are Italy time so no sleep.
5. We woke up and it was pouring rain and our flight back home was almost canceled.
6. I am now home and super jet lagged!!

But after all of that, I am happy to be home and back to life! It was great being on vacation for nearly 3 weeks and especially to where my family originated from. Now I will start adding some pictures!

I'm Here

Buon giorno, spero che tutto sia bene. We made it to Rome a couple days ago and have been hitting up all the big tourist spots. Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, and the Pantheon the first day. The second day it rained so we walked around our apartment and went to the Rome National Museum and then at night we went back to the Trevi Fountain and Piazza Navona for dinner. Wednesday, we went to Ancient Rome and visited the Coloseum, Palatine Hill, Capitol Hill, and St Peter's Church where the chains that bound Peter when he was being martyred hung. And finally, today we went to Vatican City where we went to St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican Museum, and the Sistine Chapel. It all has been a lot of fun! I miss everyone too and cant wait to see everyone when I get back, 10 more days. I will post some photos when I have my cord with me. Arrivederrci!

What do I need?!

Ok so there are 2 days until I leave for Italy for almost 3 weeks....And I'm worried that I will forget something!! So if anyone can think of anything that I might forget leave a comment! So far I have some things that you wouldn't think of:

• Hand Sanitizer


• Wipies


• Extra memory card


• Gum


• Laundry Detergent


• Earplugs


• Books

Now what else?

Its Coming...I'm So Excited...It's Almost There

Aaagh! I am so excited that I am leaving in 8 DAYS for ITALY! It has come so fast! I'm moving this weekend and then all that is left is a literal countdown to the days, hours, minutes, and seconds left! I have such an immense feeling of giddiness...the only way I can explain it is having butterflies in your stomach, needing to go to the bathroom really bad, the feeling of going over a bump and your stomach flops, and having your first kiss but ALL AT THE SAME TIME! It makes me giggle!
