Jackie is off to Italy- She should arrive in Rome about 3:30 am our time 12:30 Rome time! She was so excited! She will be studying at an Italian University in Verterbo about 40 miles north of Rome. She is taking an intensive language study, Italian Cuisine course and an Art History. She comes home on December 22nd just in time to give us christmas presents (Which we hope are expensive Italian purses) We will really miss her! People keep asking me if I am so sad to see her go -I'm not! I am so excited for her - I think I have taken her to many things that were much sadder than this! This is exciting! I have officially succeeded in talking Steve into letting me go visit! So Savannah and I will go around Thanksgiving for about 10 days! I will let you know how Jackie is doing - she doesn't have any cell service there - she left her phone with Derek (which he is very excited to now have a cell phone if even for a short 4 months) So she will just email as often as she can! Hopefully we will hear from her on the phone a little!
GOOD BYE JACKIE!!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!! BE SAFE!!!!
