Marking off my list

Today was a relatively uneventful day. I marked some things off of my list. The most exciting part of my day was getting two really good travel books from the library. One is "Florence & Tuscany" and the other is for Rome. Tonight as I was marking pages in them I had this, "OMG OMG OMG I'M GOING TO ITALY" moment. Again, what is that?!? I'm going to Italy!!! How in the world did I ever get so lucky??

Today I also got to talk to some amazing people in my life!! :) I think I am going to have a really hard time not consistently calling my family and friends to tell them about all of the amazing things I am seeing and doing. I'm going to do my best to update my blog every day and email as many people as possible.

Also, I will send a mass email Monday afternoon to let everyone know that I arrived. I will actually arrive in Florence Sunday afternoon (Sunday morning here). However, I dont know that I will have internet access until Monday afternoon.

  1. Elyse,
    Your blog is lacking comments. I thought I would let you know that I love you, and am sooooo excited for you to be setting out on this wonderful, once in a lifetime journey. I agree with Dr. H-R-- it will be wonderful, but don't expect perfection. I miss you tons and tons. LOVE YOU! Britt
