I was talking to my mom the other day, getting the normal news. "So and so is engaged, (amazing how much I hear that) so and so is pregnant, Annie is moving to Milan on Wednesday, Shane is-"

Wait, WHAT?!

Annie is moving to Milan? Like, Italy Milan? This was on Monday, and she was leaving in two days. So much for being kept in the loop.

How awesome is that? 

Let me just say that Annie and I are totally opposite in the fact that little sisters are 'supposed' to look up to their big sisters. She always used to tattle on me if I wouldn't let her hang out with me, she would 'borrow' my clothes and ruin them, she did this weird grinding thing with her teeth in her sleep when we used to share a bed (not to mention she kicks) but now, Ann is one of my heroes. For real. I love hanging out with her. Fresh out of high school she moved to India all by herself. She didn't go with a group, or with anyone she knew... crazy girl. Now she is once again residing abroad in Italy. You should really check out the rest of her blog post that starts like this:

"So I live in Italy now. Im annie the nanny! for the past week we have been in cortina, if any of you are watching the skiing world cup thats where i was."

That girl has gumption. She's fearless. She is good at everything that I'm not. I want to be just like her. 

I miss you Ann. Next time you are in the country, please wait for me to get back before you leave again.

I've always wanted to go to Milan. That's fab for her! Congrats Annie. She's going to be one well-traveled chica!
