Hello! I think that I have forgotten to inform you that I am not actually teaching this week. Matt will be arriving on Thursday morning, and I found out from ACLE that I would not actually be finished teaching until Saturday, if I were to accept a position at a camp this week. So, I declined and instead have been staying with my family for a few extra days. They will take me to the station on Thursday morning, where I will hop a train for Venice. Venice is only about a 2.5 hour journey from here, and so I should arrive well before noon!
I am quite looking forward to Matts arrival! My family has been more than wonderful, but it will be truly fantastic to see a familiar face and get to speak English ALL DAY LONG...without use of hands, a dictionary, or confused expressions :-) It seems like forever since I have seen him, so I am anxiously counting down the days....only one more to go!

About Me
- To Italy I go.....
- Hi! I'm heading off to Italy to teach English to Italian children, through an organization called A.C.L.E. In July, Matt will come to Italy and we will travel around the country to see what Venice, Tuscany, Positano, and Rome have to offer us :-) I'll be gone for about a month and a half and have decided to keep a journal, of sorts, so that friends and family can track my progress through Italy!

Yay for Matt coming to visit and for some real touring around the country and YAY for you almost coming HOME!!! I can not believe it we have so much to catch up on I feel as if we have not chatted "voice to voice" in a liftime.Keep me up to date and I will keep you up to date!
Have a wonderful 4th (not that there will be clebration there but...)

Thanks! I DO wish that I could be celebrating the 4th. We have not had any festivities related to the day. So, I will just live vicariously through all of you, back at home who are enjoying family, friends, and BBQs-something that I am truly sorry to be missing...please, eat a little extra BBQ sauce for me :-)
I cannot wait to catch up! We will have to try to get together before you take off for your cruise! Have a REALLY fun day today!

I am so excited for you to come home! I can't wait, though obviously I will have to. I am extremely excited for you that you get to do some extra touring with Matt and of course that you'll actually get to hold entire conversations without having to use your hands to communicate (or has it by now become second nature?).
I'm currently looking for a place to live in Nampa or around the area. I will likely be roommates with Christie Grove. Do you remember her? She's a Grove cousin. Anyway, we'll have to cut our hunting a little short next week and the week after as we both will be counselors at camp for fifth and sixth grade and then I will be a counselor for junior high camp. I'm excited for it, though I still wish I were with you instead.
All the more reason for me to start saving to go next year.
Love, Missy
P.S. Loved the postcard. I told Dad about the gum thing and all he said was, "Ewww." :D
Hi Missy!
That will be so fun to be a camp counselor! We had some great times at camp, and so I am sure you will have even more fun, being in charge of the little devils:-) Good luck with house hunting...if you dont find something before I get home, maybe we can go together-that would be so fun...and perhaps followed by a little shopping trip to Boise!
I must agree with your dad..."Ewwww"-about the gum. I certainly didnt touch any of the walls :-)
Miss you and cant wait to see you!
Kristin
