happy birthday jessica!

Tonight I fully enjoyed the pleasure of joining Jess and her immediate family at P.F. Changs in Allen for dinner. It was so nice to see her before the big day and enjoy some good food too. Her family is really funny! Jessica and I enjoyed birthday "shots" which is how PF Changs serves dessert. I had the "Great Wall of Chocolate" and Jessica had something with strawberries. Very delicious! 

However we only took 1 picture: 

Happy Birthday Jessica!

I am going to the lake tomorrow with Laura and this weekend I travel to Houston for Ashley's shower so I can't wait to see her & Amy A. The serious job search will start next week :) 

blessings & love. 

obsession!

Today i got to do one of the coolest things ever. I drove a scooter around along the Amalfi Coast and if you have never blessed/cursed with the pleasure of driving in Italy, you would be glad that i'm still alive! 

First, the Amalfi Coast is the most beautiful display of ocean driving scenic in the world. It is nestled in the cliffs of Italy and has the bluest ocean I have ever seen...

Second, The best part is they let me drive a scooter! At times I really did feel as if I was never going to make it back stateside because of the curves and crazy Italian driving, and I kept getting the weirdest looks from everyone. I think mainly because my curly hair stuck out of my helmet and they were confused. 

There are several reasons why I think we should have all bought scooters in waco. 

1) gas efficiency  

2) so fun to drive

3) they are so cute! 

4) you can race

5) customized colors ya'll 

Needless to say, I'm seriously considering buying one in the next city I live in...ok maybe not in USA but if I ever move to Europe....a girl can dream right?! 

love & blessings. 

traveling.

hey guys,  

i can't believe where i am. i keeping doing reality checks for my family like "do you realize that we are in eating dinner in ITALY?" or "can you believe we are staying in a hotel above the grand canale in venice?" god is so good! his creation is mesmerizing! i'm trying to take it all in that i see and hear and the people i meet. also, i think i might have to get married here! everything is so romantic and gorgeous.  

on a side note: every italian man stares! i don't know where they learned it but it is hilarious/flattering/scary feeling all at the same time.

i must go to sleep now because it's 1:30 am and we are getting up early tomorrow to sightsee and travel back to our villa in tuscany for the wedding (my mom's best friend is getting married in a castle on friday night - the reason we are here). 

blessings & love!
