My second Mother's day was pretty wonderful. It started with breakfast in bed with Connor, Aaron, and Kylie. It was pretty messy,` and I'm sure I will find crumbs in the bed while I am trying to go to sleep, but so worth it!

Traveling to Italy
I am so glad we finally made it to Italy! The trip here was exhausting, but exciting. I will start with Monday morning. Connor kept us up throughout the night (surprise, surprise) so we were tired when our alarm went off. We got ready and packed up our many suitcases. Aaron's friend from work picked us up and we checked out of the hotel. We dropped off our friends car that we borrowed for a few weeks and said goodbye to our good friend Karen and her son, Connor's best friend.
Playing with his friend just one last time.

Goodbye North Carolina
One of the hardest parts of being an Army family is having to uproot every few years. With that comes having to say "see you later" to some lifelong friends that you meet along the way. They literally become your family away from home. They are who we spend holidays with and celebrate birthdays and the births of new babies. Last night, we had a going away dinner with a few of our closest friends here in NC. I am going to miss each one of them so much!

What a week!
It has been a very busy week for the Olson's. On Sunday, Aaron and I spent the entire day getting ready for the packers. We took everything down from the walls (artwork, cameras, nails, and curtains), we finished packing our clothes into all of our luggage that we are taking to Italy, and Aaron had to prep his bike for transport.
We will be living out of our suitcases for a couple months until our furniture arrives.
