My dream come true...

Well, as most of you probably know, Kade and I have traveled the world. It is what we love to do. It was ingrained in me as a child because I was so blessed to have parents who took me around the world to visit new cultures, learn more about my heritage, and pretty much just have a blast together. Kade started coming along with us while we were dating and has been hooked ever since. So, we both love to travel, especially out of the country, and we have been so lucky to have seen some amazing places thus far. But of course, Malorie is always wanting more. I have been telling Kade for a few years now, basically since we've been married, that I really, really want to go to Italy before we have kids. It has been a dream of mine for a very long time and I figured if I didn't go before then who knows when I would be able to go. Well, we went to a lot of other places and have had some amazing adventures and so I had basically given up on my dream and figured I would just make Kade take me when we were old and decrepit. But lo and behold, thanks to Kade and my WONDERFUL family my dream is coming true!!!! We leave for Italy on May 27th. It will be me, Kade, and my whole fam. Kade and I are STARTING to entertain the thought of having children SOMEDAY. So we all figured this could be like our last little hoorah. I know you are all probably mad at me for taking an hour to say something that could be said in one sentence but I am just so grateful for everyone in my life that is always trying to make me happy and I wanted to express that. Kade and my family are so good to me and I love them all so much. I also need to make a shout out to Teri for pushing me to try and go. Love ya Ter! Well, I guess the bottom line is it has been a little while since we went on a big trip and I couldn't be more excited about this one. Sorry for rambling. Peace out.

oh fun! I think I've been bit by that bug too. Someday if my husband decides to be done with school I can't wait to start exploring outside of the U.S. But for now I think we're doing a pretty decent job of exploring where we're at. While your in Italy (actually while your leaving) we'll be in Maine, for our *gasp 5th wedding anniversary! Maybe for our tenth I'll dream of Italy...maybe ;) But that's defiantly on the list!

be careful of the gypsies. But that is like the only negative thing I have to say. I LOVE ITALY! I believe it is the best country to visit because there is sooo much to see and do. You have to go to the Cinque Terra. Oh my gosh I am so jealous! We went there a few years ago and I swear at the same time that you are going and it is the best time to visit! WOW! you are so lucky. I love it there
