Hope

homesick??

There are times when I am talking about home that people have to stop and ask me where home is exactly. I don't blame them since I refer to both living in Milan as well as the house my parents live in as HOME. However when I leave Milan I don't often miss it. Please don't misunderstand me, I of course miss Govanni and wish that he were sharing in all the same experiences as Lottie and myself, however it is only when I leave Utah that the aching, meloncholy feelings set in. Maybe it is because in Utah there is never a shortage of people to visit with (inculding many Family members) and it seems that there is always something going on. In Milan our life is also full of parties to attend and great friends to hang out with, but I find myself having to invent things during the day to stay motivated... aside from the daily tasks of washing dishes, clothes, ironing , cleaning, cooking, ect...I don't know!
What ever it is I hope the feeling goes away soon! It always is so hard on poor Giovanni, I love him so very much and am Grateful that he understands how important going "home" is for me!

A cool treat

Icecream is always good, even when you have to wear a coat to go get it!

cold front

Lottie and I are chilling (literally) in Utah for a few weeks before heading back to Italy. Costa Rica was amazing.. check out all of the family updates to the side with many pictures... who knows maybe soon I will get to posting some pictures as well. In the mean time we are trying to avoid colds and play as much as possible with family and friends! We love to visit!

Adios pappi Giovanni

Giovanni had to leave us a few days early to return and work in Milan. The small regional plane left from the short runway and flew him to san jose where he made one of a few connections returning home. Adios gio, see you in february.
