Saying Goodbye...

So I'm back in Italy and trying desperately to adjust to the time change. Going stateside is easy breezy, but coming back this way is hard on the body. I'm doing really well by staying up all day without napping...even though I'm most tired midday. And without fail, I'm wide awake at 2am! A couple more days and I should be back on track.

I've added some pictures from my trip to Indiana. These are from the day I was leaving for Italy. Everyone took me to the airport to see me off...very sad. :( My little niece, Maddie, said that watching me leave at the airport was more painful than saying goodbye at home. I couldn't agree more. Miss and love you guys dearly!

I've also noticed that I don't have any pictures of my other three nieces...Courtney, Ashleigh, and Brooke. They're all in high school and very busy with work, sports, and other activities. Next year brings big changes for them all. Courtney and Ashleigh will be leaving for college, and Brooke will be getting her driver's license...exciting times! So just know that they're all beautiful girls...even though I have no pictures. Shame on me!

Doesn't my head look gigantic...what the heck???
