I can't believe that we have been living in Italy for 3 months as of today! Time has gone by so fast. I really, really like it here, but miss quite a few things from back home. Here are the top 5 things that I miss most:
1. My family and friends. It's so hard to see them doing things together when I'm so far away and can't be there too. Good thing for Facebook and Face Time because I am able to keep in touch with them!
2. The food. I would love to eat anything other than Italian food, Popeye's, and Taco Bell. Besides what I cook, that's what we eat around here. I miss Chinese and Mexican food, Chick-fil-A, and Whataburger!
3. The stores. Target, Pier one, and Hobby Lobby to name a few! Those stores were my favorite and I miss them so much. Good thing they shop to APO! Along with this, I miss regular store hours.
4. Running the air conditioner 24/7. Electricity is really expensive here, so they recommend leaving the windows open and only using the AC at night. We have used it less than 10 times since we have been in our house {almost 2 months}... and it can get pretty hot. Thank God for fans!
5. Cable TV and DVR. We have an AFN box with 11 American channels, but it's not the same. The internet is pretty slow too, so streaming movies and shows can take a while.
We are so lucky to here here though, so I can easily deal with missing those things.... except for my family! They better come see us soon ;)
I have to add some pictures from the last few days to catch up, so here they are:
Having fun grocery shopping!
About to take a nap in daddy's spot.
He prefers to stick his finger in the ice cream and lick it.
Watching cartoons in the morning.
Feeding Kylie.
We have been trying to wean him from his paci, so he has decided to start sucking on his fingers/thumb... Go figure!
I ordered him this cute backpack for when he goes to hourly daycare every once in a while.
He had so much fun bowling tonight!
Go Connor!
