Ode to Italy

14 Aug

A month ago I went on the most AMAZING trip to Italy with my in-laws and my sister-in-law, yes I left the hubby behind. That was definitely hard considering I was gone for 12 days and not to mention it was our one year wedding anniversary, but he encouraged me to go because he felt it was the trip of a lifetime and boy was he right! It was one of the most eye-opening, most indescribable experiences ever and I am just so thankful that I was able to go. Now I feel closer than ever to my in-laws and consider my sister-in-law Kat one of my best friends! I just absolutely cannot even describe to you the generosity of my in-laws and how much they did for me on the trip, soooooo I just had to do something extra special for them! It took me a while to come up with something that would be sentimental and truly show my gratitude. I am known for my rapping (haha yes a white girl can rap, I didn’t say well, I just said I could haha) and poem writing so I decided to do a recap of our trip in a poem. After writing the poem, which took me like 2 days, I decided to make a shadowbox and include some pictures of the trip as well as some souvenirs we picked up along the way. I am so excited to give it to them and can’t wait for their reaction.

An excerpt from the poem:
