take me back.

take me back to italy.
take me back to waking up with nothing to do but explore.
take me back to cups and cones of gelato. sometimes twice a day.
take me back hotel hoping and train traveling.
take me back to not a worry in the world.
take me back to plates of pasta and pizza. {yumminess that's out of this world}
take me back to colored houses, romantic canals and cobblestone streets.
take me back to history and art; plenty of it, mind you.
simply just take me back.
{i guess, i should say us- because i wouldn't dare, nor want to, go back without lovebird.} 

what inspired this random post?
well, you see- 
it seems that everyone around me either has travel fever,
is out exploring somewhere exotic
or has been blogging about their dream vacation.
i'm convinced it must be this time of year.
this busy time of year, 
where we feel so tied down to all of our responsibilities.
this time of year, when holidays are at the tips of our fingers, 
therefore we're surely anticipating those blessed days off.
or perhaps, it's the change of cold weather that suddenly 
leaves us begging to feel the hot sun that just seemed to have left us. 
regardless, we are all allowed to dream of a vacation, right?
if you could go anywhere tomorrow, 
where would you pick to go?

meanwhile, since we are all "stuck" here in "normal" life-
let's dwell on our memories from vacations in the past
and dream of those that are hopefully in our near futures.
maybe then, our dreams of traveling will magical drift into reality.
my fingers are crossed.

fly me home.

i felt like i was shot out of a cannon this weekend.
i jumped on a plane {way too early in the morning},
finally landed in the beautiful city of salt. {aka: salt lake city},
raced to special events, such as ballet performances and baby blessings.
then finished the weekend off with my lovely parents on the couch.
sundays are the best, especially at home. 
i hope you had a lovely weekend,
minus the feeling of being shot out of a cannon.

"oh, the places you go."

time for an announcement:
we have a little trip planned.
okay, i lie... it's kind of a big trip.
we are going to italy!
i repeat, italy. 
i'll let you in on a deep secret of mine:
traveling to italy has been a big hope, dream and fantasy of mine.
in fact, lovebird originally booked our honeymoon there,
but i vetoed {quite literally, canceled} that grand plan back in the days.
shocking right? 
you see, back then i wanted to enjoy being newlyweds-  we were just barely mr. and mrs.
i wanted my new hubby all to myself as we relaxed on a beach after a crazy summer of wedding planning.
now however, i'm ready for the thrill of italy.
i no longer want to sit and relax on a beach with lovebird-
but rather walk the streets of italy until our feet hurt,
eat gelato until our bellies ache, 
and visit the historical museums, monuments and churches.
i want to eat pasta like lady and the tramp,
travel by train with backpacks making many stops,
and spend every waking minute laughing and exploring with lovebird.
obviously, i am still in the honeymoon/newlywed stage of life.
but, i'm completely okay with that.
what better way to spend our days being madly in love 
than in the romantic cities of italy.
we are beyond excited.

so now, let the recommendations and suggestions begin:
we are looking to anything and everything!
i'd love to hear about your trips, experiences and knowledge of italy!
or if you know of any lovely italian bloggers, please leave the link below!

flying solo


on my way home, as we speak.
{home as in utah.}
flying solo this time.
which is a new adventure in and of itself.
considering that for the year and 2 months lovebird and i have been 
married, i have spent all but 2 days with him.
i hated leaving lovebird this morning.
especially because i left him with a swollen mouth feeling sick.
{some crazy food allergy or stress perhaps.} 
i'm excited to spend a weekend at home with the family.
and that's just what i intend on doing.
nothing but family time.
i haven't flown solo for quite some time.
it's crazy to think i did it so frequently when i was a single girl.
i'm happy to be headed home.
it's just what i needed.
