Well, I
finally made it to Italy! Whoo! I left Boise on Thursday the 26th but didn't actually end up in Italy until Saturday the 28th. To make a long ridiculous story short, I had to spend the night in Chicago because our flight couldn't fly into Philadelphia because of the weather. That meant that I would miss my flight to Germany and then to Italy. So, I stayed the night in Chicago and caught a flight the next day straight to Rome. It wasn't a horrible experience, but I must say I have the
worst luck with flights and airports.
I
finally arrived in Verona, Italy around 2:30 on Saturday and had my
wonderful hubby waiting for me at the airport. I was so happy and excited to see him again! Besides the fact that we couldn't get out of the airport parking lot for a half an hour because we didn't know how to pay our toll we finally got home. :) The drive from Verona to Vicenza was absolutely beautiful and I automatically fell in love with Italy. Once we got into Vicenza Richard brought to me our cute little apartment (okay it has three bedrooms but its still pretty small). :) But, it is the cutest little apartment ever! I can't wait till our things get here so I can decorate. We have a bunch of temporary furniture right now courtesy of the Army, but I feel like I am living in TLF haha.
Some pictures of our house: :)
The only things that are frustrating about living here is that we are on the fourth floor with no elevator (stairs are always a good workout I suppose) and we have a community laundry room. We also have a little one car garage. It really is such a cute place. :) After I got somewhat settled in and showered we went to go meet all of the friends Richard has made in the couple of months that he has been here. They are really great people and so fun to be around! After we made a stop at a get together we decided to go walk around downtown Vicenza. It was so fun. Everything is so old and buildings are so well built.
We have been going around non-stop on post getting me in processed and everything and now all I have left to do is take the driving test so I can get my Italian drivers license. This weekend is a four day and our anniversary and we will be spending it in Rome:) I am overly excited!! Yay! :) Lots more to come pictures and posts to come! Lovesss! :)
