Emily Sara, I miss you, and we haven't gotten to talk much lately... why haven't you updated??? okay, so I know why; you're too busy living it up in italy, but some of us are still looking at the same old scaffolding that has always engulfed ann arbor, so I want more details! muah!

Crista Lynn Sara! I'm learning so much about Italy (Florence and Siena in particular) right now in my art class! There are things I want to show YOU! =) We learned about il ponte vecchio and did you know it used to be lined with meat shops? That is until the Medici family (aka- Godfathers of the Renaissance) became so powerful and decided that they hated smelling that everytime they walked across it, so they changed it all into jewelry shops!! Ahhh I am so excited to be there!! Its coming up soon!!! I've seen it in books, now I'm ready to get my close-up ;) I love you babe! mwa!

Crista Lynn Hi my little sis! You have no idea how MUCH I LOVE looking at those pictures and thinking "in just a few short months, i will be there too." Its truly going to be THE trip of our lives! And by the way, you were absolutely right, your villa does look a lot like Hogwarts! It is absolutely beautiful, and you weren't kidding about all the gardens and beautiful architecture! Maybe your new "1st European Crush Ever" will build a monument just for you "Liza" =) Probably not, I guess, but you never know! Those crazy Europeans. I mean those STUPID AMERICANS. Are you finding there is anything you OOBER miss from te states, yet? You know its just a post office visit away if there is. We all love you Sare, can't WAIT to join you! Gotta go, I feel some ratty barf coming on! Your sister always, Crista Lynn <3

Checka Hey Sara, Sounds like your having a great time. I just wanted to let you know that if you need anything I have relatives that live somewhere between 20 minutes and an hour away from Florence. They are strong christians and im sure they would love to help you out if you ever need anything. And by the way, the kids are some of the cutest kids you have ever seen!! I hope you have a great time and let me know if i can ever help you out. Love, Chris

Kristin Hi Sara! Love the villa, it looks like a castle and the grounds are impressive. You will be very spoiled by the time you get back! I wonder if you'll even want to come back, lol. I'm trying to get your Dad to get his passport so we can visit so I hope you haven't booked every weekend. We would want to come out in March or April because we hate to leave here by May when our weather is getting nice and we can get the boat out. We're thinking we would spend one weekend with you and then a few days on our own and then the folllowing weekend with Jason. Hope it works out. Love ya- Kristin

Emily oh sara, you have NO IDEA how much I miss having you here... but I can see that everyone on your trip is already falling in love with you the same way you grace everyone you meet. good luck with your first day of classes~> I want FULL details!

Shea Hey love, I am glad that you got to Italy safe and sound. I knew that you could make it without any trouble. I hope that you have an amazing time and that you get the most out of your experience. I love you and will be thinking of you. You are in my prayers. Muah, Sheabee
