Like New York City

There were these times in New York where I would wake up and realize, "OMG I LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY!!!"  This had been a dream of mine for so long, and I found a way to make it happen!  It was amazing...the next paragraph is an excerpt from the blog one day about it:

OMG I LIVE HERE!! It really hit me today when I left for the parade that I live here! I ride the subway as my transportation! I know the subways really well I have to say! I mean I make the occasional mistake, but nothing major! I've been doing it for over a week now without a map in hand! I've gone to look for jobs without maps! I actually live here...I shop here...I eat here...I will go see movies here...I LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY! I just cannot say it enough! I'M LIVING MY DREAM!! I always wanted to do this, and now I am! -March 17, 2009

I hope that I feel this same way about living in Italy!  I hope that one day I wake up and realize, "OMG I LIVE IN ITALY!"  Perhaps it hasn't been as big of a dream or as big of an obsession (because let's be real...NYC is the top of the top for me!), but Italy/living abroad has been a dream of mine and it is about to happen!  There are so many of my NYC blogs where I would end it with things like, "I live in NYC" or "I LOVE NYC", etc. etc.  I want this feeling in Italy!  I wonder when it will happen or where it will happen or what will trigger it?!?!  

I'm beginning to realize that I am truly going to Italy!  I only have 4 more Saturdays...and 4 more weeks...and so much to do and so much to hold onto!  I'm battling pushing things away and holding them close!
