Things I'll Miss / Things I Look Forward To

It was beautiful day in Modena today, 70s and sunny, in March no less! The perfect temperature for a walk and I snapped a couple of pics like the ones above (first - the main square, Piazza Grande, second - via Taglio, a typical street in Modena). This got me thinking about the things I will miss about living in Italy, but also what I am looking forward to in England.

What I Will Miss:

endless sunny days

creamy, delicious gelato

a good pizza (sausage, mushroom & onion my fav) 

the friends we have made 

shopping for the freshest ingredients at the covered market 

the sweetest cherry tomatoes 

meals at our favorite agriturismo

living right in the city center 

What I Look Forward To:

speaking English, all the time! 

the variety of different restaurants - thai, chinese, indian

visits to London for dim sum, Shake Shack, Whole Foods & Chipotle

stores not closing during lunch time and most open on Sundays 

friendly customer service 

the variety of brown/whole wheat bread

cheddar cheese

setting up our new home (it's our first time buying all of the furniture we need!) 

and yes, both lists tend to favor food :) 

We have just a few more days to go and I will be calling England our new home. I will be moving into the 13th place since I moved from Connecticut away to college. The best about all of this will be the arrival of our little baby girl in just 10 more weeks!! I can't wait to nest and create the best home for her.
