Saying Arriverderci

I was just thinking about all the goodbyes/see you laters that I have to do and I instantly got the Boys2Men version of 'Yesterday' in my head.."It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday"

I swear my life plays out in song. What would be my song this week? Um...I'll get back on that one.

So I just wanted to put a little note to let everyone know that I am doing ok. For those that don't know already, I'm moving back to Houston in December. It's time!

I've cherished and appreciated the past 5 years living in Rome. It's been amazing. Many friends that I have made here are lifelong. I've truly felt the love in the past week as many have been there supporting me in this transitional and emotional time. I thank you again guys! Grazie mille.

It's rainy in Rome right now and although the sky is grey and gloomy, I can't help myself and stare at everything. I'm gonna put together a slideshow of my favorite things in Rome. I'll try to get new pics also so that I can revisit those places. I'm thinking about taking a couple trips in the next few weeks. Thank goodness for cheap trains!!!

I'm so grateful to have had this time and experience. I lived La Bella Vita for a short while.

Now I think about my return to Houston and the work that I also get to jump back into. Am I a dork? I'm dreaming about work. I'm excited! I love nursing and can't wait to get back into it again full time. I'm even thinking about travel nursing again. It's time. I first thought about it in nursing school. Then I thought of it as an escape and then it was an idea to share and offer opportunity for creative growth. Now it's all about me again. It's time to think of myself again. I'm worth it! The world is a big beautiful place. Europe has given me many blessings and it's time soon to see what the US holds for me.

Wish me luck!

In bocca al lupo! ....Crepi.
