Italy!

Ann-Jeannette's Italy 2012

Gearing up for Italy has been crazy! I’ve been packing, doing tons of paperwork, starting online classes, and weighing luggage. By some miracle I’ve been able to keep the large suitcase under 50 pounds! Packing for four months is pretty tricky and the amount of paperwork is overwhelming.  My family has run our yard sale for two weekends and they have done a fabulous job! On top of getting myself ready I have been preparing three kiddos for the new school year. 

So nervous and excited all at the same time! I have never been more terrified about anything in my life. Each time I feel like I’m going to explode with worry, I think about the many people who have paved this road for me and what great examples they are. Crazy stuff!  I am so grateful for the support I have from my dear family and friends. Their kind motivating words are what get me through each mountain that is put in front of me. I could not do this without them. So Blessed!

I’ve been learning some Italian phrases and words. Little things from my Spanish class in high school sneak in; it is a very similar language base. 

I can’t believe I only have 3 days left before I board my plane!
