And I think to myself....

Nights like tonight I can't help but wonder what I did right.
You know those times when you think to yourself,
God must have really known what my life was going to be like because He
put these people in my life for moments just.like.this?

You see, I have a few people like this in my life.

My mommy, my sisters...

and my girls.

My ride-or-die,

thick and thin

no matter how long passes I'm there for you girls.

One of these girls I met when I was 8 and FOREVER

changed my life <3

The other I met in Jr. High and has been

one of thee most supporting and understanding

friend 

I have ever had.

I have laughed and cried,

fought and loved,

been far apart and closer than ever

with these girls

and no matter how much time passes

we are still close as ever.

Tonight I am more thankful than ever, that life as kept us close together

and allowed us to grow and experience life with each other. 

These two girls are some of the best things that have ever happened to me

and I can't help but to lalalalalove them!

Mi Bella Vita

I have wanted to go to Europe for quite some time.  With friends and family in different situations than I, it has made it impossible to plan the trip that I wanted... until now. 

We first were going to plan a trip to New York since that is on my list but then my friend said, "Let's look at Europe instead."  She is so smart!  So we did.  At first we were going to do a tour of 7 countries and it look amazing, but then I got to thinking, what if I get to Belgium or Berlin and want to spend more than one day there?  So we started a new search.  I want to make the most of my trip and see all the amazing things in each place we go. 

The moment we decided to go to Europe I KNEW that I had to go to Paris.  Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame,  The Louvre (home of The Mona Lisa), Arc De Triomphe, Lovers Lock Bridge... all on my list of To-Do's!

The next place that came to my mind was Italy.  I love history and it is amazing to me to be able to look at something that hundreds of years ago someone made and people from all walks of life travel to see!  I also love pasta and Italian men!  We researched and chose... Rome!  The Vatican, Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps and more!

   

While in Italy we decided to take a day train up to Pisa.  Everyone knows what is to be found there!  The Leaning Tower, of course!  While there we will also check out other sites such as a museum or cathedral but our main attraction is the tower and of course the food!

I am beyond excited.  We got such an amazing deal

and my passport is ready to go!

I have done so much research

and talked to quite a few people

and I know this is going to be an amazing trip.

August can't come soon enough.

I am going to totally need a tranquilizer for

a 14 hour flight though!

Time to brush up on my Italian!
