Italy, here we come!

I cannot believe it - but we booked tickets to Italy the day before yesterday! We will be leaving on November 26th and returning Dec 4th. We will be heading to Florence, where my friend Stephanie lives. Since I took the interim Greek position at MSU - the extra income that we will get for the next couple of months will go to pay for it, so there's no guilt involved (unless you speak of my children, then I have LOTS of guilt - but I think being a Mom is a guilt-ridden, though wonderful, job). Our boys will be left in the good hands of the Trimbles and Ronnie. Thank you guys for being such good friends to allow us to do this!!!!
