Send my things. I’m Italian now❤️
After the two losses, I wasn’t sure if I even wanted children anymore... part of it was the grief + the other part was me being hesitant knowing how much I would be giving up for motherhood... And then one day, about 2 years after the last miscarriage + 1 year after our wedding, I came across a picture of Cortona and I began to cry. That one picture resolved matters that had been sitting on my heart, in a matter of moments. I knew that one day I would show my daughter the magic of this little town, and here we are✨ - It’s hard to explain all the emotions, all the gratitude, that I have for this trip. My first real family vacation was to Myrtle Beach + I was in college. I know my mom hustled like a MF to make it happen + I’m so grateful for those memories. It was the first time I saw the ocean + the moment that I knew I had to see so much more of this world. - I feel so privileged to be here, to have a daughter, to be able to have her here with us, and to create these moments with her. I couldn’t have seen these moments for my life 3 yrs ago, let alone 18yrs ago in Myrtle Beach! I know Sellie won’t remember this trip, but I will forever tell her about the first time we took her to Cortona, stood under the tree where mama + papa said “I do,” tried melone, and hung out in the piazzas until all hours of the night. I hope it sparks the same adoration for travel + gratitude for memories made.... My cup runneth over💚
I don’t know why, but dressing up in Italy is more acceptable to me. At home, I wear the same thing... like every day, + I love it! I would feel so extra + out of place running errands in this dress, but best believe my ass went to Coop (a supermarket like Kroger) and bought crostini + toilet paper in this dress😂.
Today was long, but so so good. It’s his birthday trip, but he let me drag him across Tuscany so I could see where the Volturi live + he even occupied Sellie so I could tase all 8 wines + eat the world’s best lasagna, with 2 hands + no sweat under my titts from holding my big baby. And in return, I took him to the World Champion gelato shop... bc that’s a thing🤷🏽‍♀️. I believe this is love. I hope we grow old in Italy✨
