M.I.A

Hey y'all!  Wowzers, it has been some time since I blogged.  I just have not been in the blogging mood but think I am ready to jump back in!  I have so much I missed telling you guys!  We went to Pisa, camping at Camp Darby, had company for a few nights, I went back to Nove and finished up my Lenox collection, etc! 

*  We are on the downward part of this rollercoaster I call Italy!  We got here in March of 08 and now only have 5.5 months left!  Lately I have been having mixed emotions about leaving.  Honestly, it is a bitter sweet thing!  I will very much miss the amazing friends I have here, I have gotten to be very close to a couple of ladies that I am really going to miss.  BUT I know that it will not be a goodbye, I will see them again!  I will miss the food, oh the food, and the wine too!  Plus my amazing view and drive home. Oh, and I will miss not having my gas pumped for me!   But I am ready to be back in the USA, it is where I belong and am glad to be an American, for sure!  I will be closer to family, can visit target, get things at all times of the day and will never have to shop at a commissary again(I strongly dislike them).  Plus I can talk on the phone or skype and not have to worry about connection problems!  I could go on and on with why I will be happy to be back!  I just am ready to know where "home" will be next!

* My birthday is coming up soon and my husband got me the best present ever!!  A trip to Paris, France!  I am going with a friend while Curtis stays home and watches Kyler!  I have some friends from SC that now live in LA, CA that will be there so I get to see them too!  He lived in France for a few months and was not a huge fan, so he did not really want to go, but knew that I really wanted to mark that off my list!  I tried to tell him the place the military sent him years ago probably was nothing compared to Paris but he said, GO, HAVE FUN!  So, that I will!

*Be looking out for a video blog soon!  Or vlog!  I am going to attempt one about something I think would be funny for me to do! 

That is it for now folks!  I really am going to try to get back to blogging at least 3 times a week!

CIAO!!
