Fourth of July

Fresh back from Italy I was greeted by my wonderful babies and my amazing parents (who survived watching my babies)! We spent a few days in NC and saw fireworks to celebrate America's Birthday! I am so thankful to live in this beautiful country and thankful to those who protect it!

Italy

Some really good friends of Joel and Mine got married last month in Italy.  I was blessed to be able to attend.  It was a beautiful wedding and a wonderful time experiencing Italian culture in a non-touristy way.  Here are a few pictures of my adventures.

The beautiful bride and groom!

This is the chef who made one of the most delicious 7 course meals I have ever had, and he was cute...I had a little crush!
