The Italian Job

So, I passed out at a funeral and then traveled to Italy. In reference to the passing out, I am OK. Slight dehydration and a mixture of some other factors seemed to lead to the episode. All is well and my mother is watching me like a hawk. 
A week later I traveled to Italy with a group from the college. It was a fabulous trip and I was thrilled these students had the opportunity to see and experience what they did.
Let me catch you up on the last three weeks.

I wore this to graduation. I didn't have to run around like a chicken with my head cut off because the day before was when I passed out and being out in the heat was not allowed.
I have no idea the designer of the dress or the shoes but I love them both!

These students made me love my job. I am going to miss them so much next year but I know they will do great things and SnapChat me until it is annoying.

This is Keifer. He was my right hand man. He sent this Snap to me while I was in Italy. I cried. I will miss him coming into my office each day and the conversations we would have. He is transferring to Oklahoma State University and I couldn't be prouder. I just hope he keeps me updated on the trends in dirty rap music.

Is this shirt not perfect?

Mom and I can't pass up watching Armageddon. We were talking one day about Independence Day and Armageddon and she said, "I don't like Independence Day. That is just too far fetched." She is obviously

Fish Pedicures! Notice the audience?

I had never spent a lot of time with Miss Jenna Brett but I absolutely love her! She is hilarious and such a trooper. Her luggage was lost until the day before we left the country. She handled it with such grace.

I don't eat bread, but this pizza was divine! I ate all the cheese and sauce. I received a few stares.

I am very guilty of the selfie on this trip.

Let's go ahead and thank Jamie Fink for the next few pictures. I hate him and love him at the same time.

I love this one. I am too prep for my own good.

I died laughing. I will never send Snaps to Sharry while on vacation again. Sorry.

I'm coming home.

When I got back to my apartment I crashed by 10pm and was on the road by noon the next day. It was Memorial Day Weekend and I was meeting my family at the lake house. I also attended a wedding and ran into this face. Megan is a sorority sister of mine and possibly my spirit animal. 

My family also celebrated my cousin Lakyn's 5th birthday.
It was Frozen themed.
We are a little over the top.

Both of my nephews came to the lake as well.
Oscar was a phantom when it came to pictures while GJ was attached to my hip.

L and GJ after the game. L had a great game!

We toted that baseball bag around the whole night.

Selfie with GJ and Strike!

While I love traveling, I am very happy to be home.
