3 Sisters

Two of my adorable sisters will be within hours of me by the end of the day. One sister in Switzerland and one sister in Rome, Italy. Mackenzie is finishing her mission in Switzerland this Saturday and Brooke left this morning for Rome to start the same Italy Study Abroad Program that Mackenzie and I did 3 years ago.
Even though it won't be for very long, I love knowing that my sisters are close to me. as I live here in Bologna, Italy.  I won't be able to see Mackenzie before she leaves for California this Saturday but I will be able to see Brooke in about 2 weeks. I'm excited that I will have had the opportunity to spend time with two of my sisters in Italy, a country that I love so much.
So this day is a special one for me, as I listen to the afternoon thunder storm, thinking about what my sisters could be doing right now, only hours away from me.

I'm happy that my other little sister will be able to have this wonderful  Abroad and I am also excited to see Steve, our director, after 3 years! Who knew that 3 years later, I would be living in Italy!?!
