Happy Hallowen!!!

Funny (stupid) Cat!!!

Stinky Cat does some of the funniest things.... like after eating he'll roll over on his back and just lay there like he's dead! He does the same thing when he wants to be noticed. He'll pick a center spot and play dead until you go over and give him some loving. I dunno! Whatever!!!

Just an update!

Hey there loved ones! Just been super busy with the new things going on! I decided to get my TEFL teaching certificate (Teaching English as a Foreign Language), in Italy to teach English it isn't always necessary to have this certificate, all you need is to be native and mother tongue, although in some cases it is required like teaching for the Public Administration, The Region, or any Government or EU Community funded projects. These employers PAY WELL, so it is all to my advantage to achieve this certificate in order to participate in their selections. So far so good, the units are interesting and it's fun to revise English grammar.

The weather has really turned on us this last week, a cold front from Russia has blown in and from a whopping 75-80 degrees, we went to 50 - 60 degrees in one night with high winds. Of course Enrico is stoked, cause high winds = good swell and good surf!

We, or better said, I am lagging on which wedding pictures to print. It still just upsets me to look at them and have the family part missing. But, I need to get on it .

I guess the saying "no news is good news" is true, all is well! Life is good! We are happy to be a family!

Saturday afternoon with my niece

It's always a treat for me to have my sweet Carlotta over to play and do activities! We had a great afternoon on Saturday drawing and playing Twister! For some reason she loves that game so much and always laughs soo hard when we play! !!

Don't you just love that I STILL have my "just married" sign
hanging on the back of the door...

Videos

I know you probably are all tired of hearing about our wedding but, on Friday night we had some friends over for dinner and they surprised us with 2 beautiful CD's of photos and videos of the wedding... I was ecstatic! They filmed most part of the ceremony and a bit when we came out of the City Hall. The ceremony part is long and all in Italian, so I skipped to the next video which is short and cute! XOxo

Some new changes!

So this was the fireplace before!

And this is what it looks like now!!!
(sorry for the mess)

It's a gold finish and we love it!

On the other side of the room in a few weeks time will be this sideboard and we wanted the mirroring wall to match the doors!

We added shelves to the study area....

....and changed the paintings in the dining area

as soon as we get our new furniture I'll be sure to update!!
