for the past three weeks i have been living in italy. i love it. that could have something to do with the fact that i'm kind of still on a honeymoon. gabriele's job contract hasn't started yet, so we're together ALL the time. mostly we have been putting together our first apartment. we were really fortunate to find the best one on the first try. we met up with the real estate agent, looked at the apartment and said yes.
we are almost done painting (white) and we have been giving all of our money to ikea, aiazzone, conforama, and other stores. and the more and more we spend, the more and more we are grateful for our wedding gifts! gabriele is also very good at saving money so that's helped us out.
i'm really grateful for the blessings that i know are coming from Heavenly Father. it's hard not to see how he plays a part in all of this. everyday i keep thinking to myself that everything will work out and that God wants us to be happy. i haven't been worried about the future (which is more than strange for me).
i don't think gabriele and i have hit the "real world" yet, but we like what we have. i am happy where i am. happier than i thought i would be. it feels as if i were meant to live in italy. my life here is so different and in such a good way.
