Morning All!  Happy Friday. I had the privilege of of photographing a friend's wedding last weekend. wanted to share as I know some of you know them. Jason and I got our assignment, we will be heading to Hurlbert Field, FL in October. I am excited, the area is beautiful, but I am really going to miss a lot about Italy. I'll probably post a lot more this summer as we will be traveling a bit more. Monday I head to Slovenia for a few days. Memorial day weekend we will head to Dachau prison camp in Germany. But for now, here are a few pics to enjoy!

Just the normal everyday stuff....

It's been a good month, the show is over ( I'll post pictures as soon as I get them) Jason's friend Jess came to visit for a few days so we got to play tourist, which is always fun. Other than that, nothing too exciting. I am ready for more sun and less rain!

Here are some pictures from Venice and Verona.... Enjoy!

Life in Italy.....

Hello All,

I so wish I had gotten over my fears and more involved in the Italian community before now. They are great people and living here has enriched my life so much. 

Here are some shots from recent events:

 Maniago Church

I don't even know how to explain this one...welcome to Carnivale!

The Italian Choir I sing with and our Maestro. I am one of 3 Americans in the group.  This was the night of our concert 3.11.2006

She Lives......

Remember that really old bad horror film, "They Live!"...ok, well, nevermind.

I am alive and I am so sorry I haven't posted, I have thought aboutit, but I had all these new photos I wanted to upload to the computer first and I hadn't done that and then I got busy...and then...HEY It's MARCH!

SO...anyway.  I started digital scrapbooking this week, I thought I would share my first page with everyone.

 

This was one of my days at home. This State Park, Point Lobos is a family favorite. We go there everytime I visit and my parents go I think at least every other month. I had a great time at home, although I wish I had my hubby with me. I really missed him and I realized how much he is home and my life now... AWE.....gag.   I know, but it is true.

SO, since I've been home we have left ABC as a church and started attending the Chapel's new "contemporary" service. Which is just in the ground breaking stages. I thought at first when GOd had us leave ABC, "what can we do elsewhere in 7 months???" SO he puts us in aplce where we can help form a new worship service. There are so many gifted people starting to attend this service, so once again, by being obedient to the LORD, we are blessed....duh! 

Ok, so I PROMISE to post again soon, but that is enoguh for now... ciao!
