It's finally starting to hit me! Well, maybe...

University of Hawaii started school today, and my brother leaves for Oregon tomorrow. What in the world?! I guess it really is time to get back on track for school. This summer has by far been one of the best summer's I can ever remember. I didn't have to worry about work or school :) It was nice to have probably one of the last "real" summers before the "real world" actually hits. And to think...this summer started off with one of the most amazing shoots I've been to all thanks to Kori at Little Darlings Hawaii!

I'm leaving for M I L A N next week! WHAT?!! Someone pinch me!

And the countdown begins...

It's officially August, which means that I leave in exactly thirty days! The fact that I'll be in Italy for four months is finally starting to settle in. Whoa! A wave of nervousness just hit me. What do I bring? What can I buy there? And what won't I need? Even then, how am I going to fit four months of my life into one suitcase? Nonetheless, I'm still excited!
