You may have the universe if I may have Italy." - Giuseppe Verdi

I haven't left South Carolina yet, but I already feel this way. My journey officially begins January 30th, when I fly out of Charlotte for Rome. But the details and planning and preparing are well underway. I plan on keeping this blog updated regularly with photos and my going-ons, but always feel free to email me. I'm available at caseynberry@gmail.com round the clock and would love to be kept up-to-date on your end. My excitement is growing with every passing day. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I continue to get ready, and thanks for your support thus far. I am blessed beyond measure.

Next time I'll write, I'll be doing as the Romans do. What that is... I guess I'll soon know.
