Aerial meet Gregory

This is me, a little over 4 weeks ago, trying on my sister backpack before she left for Europe. On this day, all I could think about was how sad I would be that she is leaving, and how excited I am for her adventure. I never thought that just 4 1/2 weeks later, I would be boarding a plane for Milan to meet her!!!

Now lets get to the point. Her backpacks nickname is Gregory. In just 3 days, Gregory will have a new friend named Aerial. Aerial is red and grey and very sturdy. She is form fitted to my hips and has many neat features. Tomorrow night I will find out if Aerial is able to carry all of my prized possessions (just kidding, I am not taking anything important except for my camera and passport, right Lo J?) as I pack for Italy. This will most definitely be a challenge, but thanks to moderneve, I am going to do my best to pack wisely.

PS! Even if you aren't skipping town for the long weekend (or 10 day excursion in my case, dont be jealous) you should check out moderneve's blog anyway! She is one of my friends from high school who currently resides in Dallas, TX with her husband. She is one of the most creative people I know and her blog does a great job at reflecting that. There is something for everyone! I heart you moderneve.
