Every morning I wake up to my daily dose of Italy through my email. I found a great site called the Italian Notebook which suprises me everyday with random stories from a handful of writers, most living in country. They have written about everything from art and history to food and customs. I have included to the website and encourage you to sign up for your daily italiano fix!

Moving and Marriage Madness
After logging into my blog I realized with horror it has been over a month since I have posted anything at all! I cannot believe how deceptive time can be. So as an explanation...or apology...I thought I would update everyone on the excitement in my life.
I recently got back in touch with an old high school boyfriend and before we knew it, we were head over heels in love with each other. I have been wanting to move back to the mountains since this summer so it was not a difficult decision to pack up and head to Idaho to be with him. Of course that sounds so easy when writing it on paper, but organizing myself, my five year old and ALL OF OUR STUFF was anything but. I did manage to shed about half of the things we had acquired over the last six years, load the rest in a moving van and drive two long days to eastern Idaho. My daughter loved every minute of it and refused to sleep for fear of missing out on something exciting. We made it safe and sound (minus the 'chocolate milk incident' in the van) and spent the next week unloading, unpacking and settling in. My daughter immediately fell in love with her new teacher and school, making friends every time she turns around. So now we have the summer and our Montana mountain wedding to look forward to.
As the dust begins to settle I find that tenacious travel bug starting to bite again and I'm ready to jump in right where I left off. My travel planning business will continue uninterrupted from Idaho and I am already preparing for my next research trip. Stay posted as I bring you fun little Italian tidbits...
Ciao a presto!
