goodbye italy. hello america.

home again home again jiggity jog.

{lovebird grew up saying jig, i grew up saying jog. to this day we "argue" over which one's right.}

{the classic airport picture: going to italy, then leaving it all behind.}

hello lovely readers.
 it's been quite awhile- wouldn't you say?

oddly enough, i've slightly missed the blogging world;

mainly catching up with your fun lives, envying your fashion,
trying your diy's and craving your recipes. 

i am back now and have every intention of staying put for a little while. 

where do i even begin?

maybe by sorting though the thousands {literally} of photos i took,

counting the calories i consumed from pasta and bread,

organizing my memories into words to post,

or reflect upon the "important" things to share with you.

all of which seem a little overwhelming at the moment.

you can thank a heavy case of jet lag for that.

i'm anxious to share our adventures amidst the beautiful country of italy.

i now know why roma {rome, in english} spelled backwards is amor. 

not only did i fall in love with everything in sight,

i fell in love with lovebird all over again.

italy has my heart.

i'm convinced i left it there.

thank goodness for throwing a coin in the trevi fountain-

legend has it, i'll return to rome one day and can then reunite with my heart. 

until then, i'll reminisce and share the details with you.

stay tuned. 

i promise to post those details as soon as i can. 

xoxo
