Italy here we come....

Big news: we leave for Italy in about 5 weeks..... Yes Italy.



Dave and I were planning a trip to Mexico before he starts work in the hospital, but thanks to mom and dad, they warned us about the growing violence with our neighbors to the south. I guess I have not been watching the news closely enough because we had no clue about the drug cartel and other violence that has been happening. Thanks Mom and Dad for keeping us in the loop:) Well, Dave and I threw around quite a few ideas about what else we should do with that week, but we kept coming back to Italy. It will be a short trip since we will be there for one week, but we may never have much more time than that to travel. We are VERY excited to visit Carrie, Joe and CARLIE!!! I laugh at our decision because it seems that Dave and I like make big decisions in short amounts of time... we have been procrastinating on making a decision about Mexico (which I am glad we did), but now we are leaving for Italy in 5 weeks:) Oh well, we are very excited and got a good deal on airfare to Europe. Also, we are excited because we are flying on Lufthansa Airlines which is known for great service, little TV's in the head rests and free alcohol.

Also, a reminder that Dave takes his boards exam on April 10th, so keep him in your thoughts and prayers as he prepares for this major test!!

awesome!!!! You guys will have so much fun, and the flag has the same colors as Mexico so it isn't that big of a difference, right??
