Well... it's been a really long time since I've been on here with something I felt worthy of blogging. We've gone through a really tough summer with some extreme lows and some nice highs.
First and foremost I want to remind myself and you to take time any chance you have to not only tell those special people around you that you love them, but do something to show them. It does make a difference in their heart & yours. Each of us struggles everday to get over some hurt or loss or whatever, but we can make a difference to one another, by showing that we care.
We had been planning a dream trip (of a lifetime) for a year, to celebrate our 15th Wedding Anniversary year. The loss we experienced this summer brought to light that despite all the best laid plans, anything can happen, it is up to us to determine how we will learn from it and respond. My husband's response has been to 'seize the day' and was bound and determined to still take our vacation as planned.
I really couldn't believe I was standing on the soil of a place I dreamed of going my whole life. It was real, not just pictures in a book, or stories filmed and portrayed in a movie. We spent 2 brief days in Rome, Florence, Bologna and Venice; and each was an experience unto itself. I wished for more time in each place, but relished in the tastes and sights as much as I could for the time we had.

After getting lost amongst the tiny streets in Florence, we found our way to the river just in time to enjoy a beautiful sunset! What a blessing :)
We took an afternoon tour to Pisa... what a beautiful day. Tower is still there, and still leaning!
Venice was absolutely amazing. Here is another gorgeous sunset, this time from the Rialto Bridge.
