Day 2

 

Day 2 & 3

Day 2 was filed with Cinque Terre's hiking. It was a many many hour hike surrounded by Italy's mountains, the Mediterranean Sea, vineyards, many different languages, and surprisingly little sun. Naturally when we approached the man-made sign of a nudist lake, Woods begged us to go! So we did. Let's just say what happens in Italy, stays in Italy. But this hike down to the beach was very very steep going down, so naturally, going up was just as difficult. Surprisingly we are not sore today...but we ended the evening sunset eating pastas, sharing wine, and window shopping right on the coast. It was beautiful and we laughed SO much. 

On Day 3,  Woods was shipped back to Madrid, so we already miss her. Tomorrow, Tori, Scotty and I head to Switzerland for a day or two. Life is rough. Here are some unedited pics to share! 

Ciao!

Day 1

Ciao from Italy! These pics are from Lago Maggiore, Italy. I arrived at 8 AM and was greeted by Tori, Woods, and Scott. They attempted to keep me up and site see through a few little towns surrounded by Lago Maggiore. It worked for a few hours, but after that was nap time. That is how we sleep here at Scott's place. 

I have little time to post, but wanted to get some out there. Forgive me that they are not edited either. Ciao!

abby's current location.

i am thinking, since abby is hiking and laughing and drinking wine and exploring this wonderful place called cinque terra, she might not have time to post pictures herself.

she is here. for a couple of days. and for a couple of days, i am jealous.

but happy for her :)

blog away my sadness with your fun times!!

its hard

its hard to be strong all the time.

can i be brutally honest?

its hard to try to forget about not having a mom.

its hard to try to forget about her last 6 months of life.

its hard to try to figure out how i made it through those hospital nights. let alone the rest of my family.

its hard to try to be okay without her.

tonight is one of those hard nights...

google reader.

how many subscriptions are too many subscriptions?

whoops.

I just bought these on Etsy.... my first Etsy purchase!

happy changes

so, living with a boy is different. different than living with four girls. don't get me wrong, it is really fun, but i have never lived with a boy before....some examples of a few things that change would be:
(1) pre-husband, i would buy 1 milk carton every three weeks or so. now, we go through a carton of milk in one week.
(2) on a typical night pre-husband, i would watch dancing with the stars and then fall asleep to bridget jones' diary or america's next top model. last night we watched valkyrie and then a basketball game while falling asleep.
(3) towels. scott only uses his towel 2 times before putting it in the hamper. is it gross that i used mine for a whole week?
(4) food in general. i noticed i have been eating a lot more now that Scott is around, and eating later and later into the night. boys consume more calories than girls, but does getting married mean the girl has to eat as much as the boy now? my jeans are tight.
(5) good morning america. i like it. scott likes the t0day show, or good day texas, or whatever that silly show is...sometimes he watches that in one room, while i watch GMA in the other...hah

i could go on, but i won't. i know you are thanking me for that.
getting married is fun!
