Christmas has passed and I got a good bit of presents that will help me pack for Italy :) Let's see...a nice, warm jacket, a thermal shirt and pants, knit hats, boots, socks...notice a pattern? Hopefully I'll be toasty in Italia! I also got a nice point-and-shoot camera so that I can travel light, as opposed to lugging around my massive Nikon D60.
I'm hoping to test out the warmth capabilities of a few of my new clothes tomorrow at camp as we get ready for our Third Annual Christmas Tree Burning! It's supposed to be mid-high 40s and low 50s all day, so it should be similar to Certaldo weather.
There are less than 30 days until I board the plane and start this Italian adventure! It STILL feels unreal. Maybe when I'm stuck at home and everyone else is back at school it'll sink in, but right now I'll just enjoy having my friends and family all around me. Last night was quite possibly one of the best nights EVER. We gathered at the Piselli's for Joe's graduation party and it was more like an overdue family hangout session with my best friends and their families. We're all basically one family, it's great. The night ended with us serenading baby Lillian and then singing out a bunch of amazing hymnals. It was wonderful. These are the moments that I want to remember when I start to feel a bit homesick in Italy. Plus, I'll be able to pull up the video I recorded of us singing Isaiah 43 and start singing along.
Well, I should probably get to bed so I can wake up early tomorrow and head to camp!
