Some Gloomy Days in Italy

Update: I bought a headband this past weekend, and I think I am going to wear it out tomorrow. Hopefully, I can snap a picture for you guys so I can see what you think.

This past weekend and the beginning of this week have been very hard for me. Its about time I am in the same city as my family. I woke up two nights ago crying because I needed them more than ever. In the past, I took full advantage of family love and I am ready to have those arms around me again. Gregg says all the time that he wishes we could leave Italy right this second because he can tell I am starting to get very homesick.

The weather here is very gloomy. I use to think Memphis weather was bad, but man was I wrong. It rains two days and then is dark and foggy, and back to raining two days and then dark and foggy. Its an endless cycle to where I just want to stay at home and drink apple cider all day while watching Christmas movies....I guess you could say I am in a funk...ugh!

On a brighter note, I finally finished my Christmas tree and I couldn't be any more happier about how it looks. It took about three re-do's but is totally worth it! Take a look:
