wish we could do this more often!

It is really hard to blog via the iPod. I just wanted to give y'all a quick update! I'm already halfway through with study abroad; I can't believe it. Italy is a lot different than I imagined but it is really wonderful and beautiful in its own way. I still don't parlo Italiano, but I now know how to read Italian which is a huge improvement! I tried to say gracias the other day and couldn't for the life of me. It took me a good 10 minutes to really concentrate and not say grazie. (pronounced grah-tsee-ay) I'm not gonna lie, though. As much as I am loving it over here I can't wait to get back home! Love y'all and can't wait to share funny stories when I have access to a computer! :) Arrivedercci! (which literally means we will meet again! Cute, no?)

oh what will you do in the summertime?

seven peaks.

running through the sprinklers
night games.
drive-in movies
star gazing.

this was my last summer experience:
 

disneyland! woot!

ahhh, summer cannot come soon enough!

what are you excited for this summer?

sun room please

let's have a sun room. 

it doesn't have to be bright yellow.  actually, i prefer it be white.  or a really pale green or blue. it does, however, have to have lots of natural light (hence the name... sun room...)  

it has to have a big comfy couch.

because

i want to read books here

or snuggle up in a blanket with some hot chocolate on rainy days

 doesn't that sound delightful?

or take naps on warm summer Sunday afternoons.

maybe I'll set up an easel and paint in there. natural light + making art = the best

the more i think about it, the more a sun room just sounds like the most splendid idea

it's {mostly} all i want in my future house.

what must you have in your future house?
