We got Orders!!

Kenny got ELT. Which is electronic lab thech, he'll pretty much be a chemist, help keep stuff from coroding on the ship and such. It a 14 week school here so we are staying in SC. Its not staff like we were hoping but he can put in for staff again after ELT school and we can hope for it then. Solease keep fingers crossed we get staff. It would make things a lot better for the first little bit of Baby Bears life.

 

All is going well with me and Baby Bear. I feel like a whale but the doctors say Im fine and Baby Bears heart sounds awesome and that we are right on track! So YAY! Only about10 weeks left till ym due date and thats really scary!!

 

My baby shower is on Saturday here. Im super excited cuz Sarah rocks and we are going to have soo much fun! Mum says when we have the one in Wilmington that she wants to rent out the club house and have it there so that will be cool.

 

Looks like I'll be up in Wilmington for good the weekend of Kennys graduation, or at least that Sunday. My family is coming dwon for the graduation as are Alex and Scott (WOOOT!!!) and I think Im just gonna ride back up with one of them. Kenny gets 10 days off so he might come up and we might go to Charlotte or something like that. Maybe get Craig to come and see us!! But I'll be up there as of the 13 or 14th of July till after Baby Bear is here!!

So thats all...nothing else new that I know of. So im off!!

Blah...just a quick update

Kenny comps for Prototype on the 5th!!! He has less then 6 weeks left! We should be getting orders in about a week or two...I hope...we will see. He's on mid right now (830pm to 830am) which are LAME!!! I miss him at night. =(

The Baby is due Aug 24th. It wont stop kicking. Its good and healthy! 28 weeks tomorrow!!! Which is CRAZY!!! I have a docotors appointment on the 9th so we will see what they say then. Im not too worried things should be fine.  Im working on our birth plan and thats fun, takes a lot to figure out how we want things to go but we are getting it. 

Im watching Sarahs little girl Katy during the days when our hubbys are are work. She is sooo cute! She's 8 weeks old and jsut about as cute as can be. 

Grandma's out of the hospital. It wasnt her hip that was fractured, they dont know what it was...so they gave her more meds...just what she needs. Oh well. Its just too much stress and too damn annoying to deal with. She wont fucking help herself so I reallly cant feel sorry for her! Whatever its in her hands to handel it.

Gonna start getting ready for bed (thats about a 2 hours process). Hot bath then reading till I fall asleep.

cross your fingers for us please!!

So apparently since Kenny cant do his work with his recruter 5 days in a row and they cant start on the weekend (which is BULL cuz I know other people who started on the weekend!!!!) we might not get to go on our honeymoon. Kenny is going to talk to his comand today to see if they move his leave around so we can still go. But I am just going to be crushed if we cant go. I was looking forward to this trip! Please please keep your fingers crossed that we can get it all moved around. I havnt seen my grandparents in 3 years and Kenny has never even met them! PLEASE keep your fingers crossed!

Wanna do a little somethin...

These last few weeks have been nuts! Between getting settled in the house, Kenny getting sick and graduating a week late (not like it changed naything so thats good), a million and one people staying over (including a really cute 3 yearold) and Kenny graduatting A-school and spending the weekend with Matt and Sarah. Oh and my baby kitten face has an AWFUL eye infection!! The meds the vet gave us arent making his eye better. Im worried about him!! But they are too cute! Aries just jumped on the pillow and made it fall off the couch. Silly boy.

We are going to Wilmington this weekend, cuz my dear Alex is graduating!! YAY!! I have to get her gift together and talk to Scott and see what he is getting her. I hope that the Navy doesnt fuck us over and Kenny can come home with me. Cuz Loring has to have surgery in two weeks nad thiis would be the last time to see her before then so I really hope he can come home with me. That and Alex and Scott and Brenna and Rob want to see him. I need to ask Scott if he is wearing his uniform to the grad so I can tell Kenny if he should bring his.

Well he is out of A-school now which makes him a Petty Officer 3rd Class. So yay for my hubby!! IM proud of him! We went out to dinner with Sarah and her husband Matt who also graduated with Kenny (but he is an EM not a MM so his A-school was longer and he was in a diffrent class) and it was so fun! I love Sarah she is a great person and Matt and her are sooo funny! Matt spilled orange soda ALL down his whites!! IT was sooo funny!! Then we slept all Saturday and then Sunday we went with Sarah and Matt to the USS Yorktown and into Downtown and we had Deep Fried Gattor Tail...it was oddly reallly good. But that was a fun day.

The last weekend we had Botkin and his fiancee Liz and her little girl Lauren staying with us. Kosman slept on the couch all weekend. It was odd having a 3 year old running around a non child proof house. But nothing broke so thats good. The kittens were like WTF is this!!! And Demeter wouldnt come out from under the couch (she was doing really well and coming out to sit with us and stuff, then Lauren came over!! Poor kitties.

Madona is gross...shes on TV in a unitard and its not pretty, I dont want to see that much of her ass....anyway!

I think thats all thats new in my life right now. Its just been a non stop swarm of people and things going on. I have to reallly clean this week cuz Robert and Boo-Boo are coming to stay with us for the next few weeks. So I have a lot of cleaing and Boo-Boo proofing to do. I also have to find the cord for Kennys computer.

military spouse appreciation day

america's military has realized and acknowledged the significance of the military spouse. in 1984 president reagan proclaimed the friday before mother's day of each year to be military spouse appreciation day. it is your day to stand up and be honored.

for the times you've stood and watched a ship sail from the harbor, an aircraft disappear into the clouds, or a truck convoy pull out of sight, not sure when they would return, we thank you.

for the countless household moves you've made from a place you know to one that's strange and different -- often by yourself -- we thank you.

for the families you've held together, for the anniversaries, birthdays, and holidays you've celebrated alone, we thank you.

for the hand you've extended to another military spouse when the need was there, truly creating a military family, we thank you.

for the spirit and strength you've shown when your service member has gone into harm's way, we thank you.

for the pride you've displayed while serving as an ambassador of the military spouse to the rest of the world, we thank you.

far too frequently, the sacrifices and dedication of the military spouse have gone unnoticed and unappreciated. In our nation's recent history, thousands of service members have been placed in harm's way as they stood watch as freedom's guardian. you too have stood watch at home, facing challenges alone. you have waved flags and held banners high to express your support. you have kept the candles burning on the home front as a reminder of our deployed military.

you have made difficult sacrifices of your own, and have called upon your inner reserves to nurture family life so your service member can focus on the business at hand.

even in times of relaxed alert status for our military, you have stood ready and alert for the slightest of signs, perhaps overlooked or ignored by your civilian counterparts, signaling a potential change in the status of our military forces. as a military spouse, you have willingly packed up and relocated countless times, and may have been separated from your own parents and siblings for several years at a time.

quite often, you have been placed in an unfamiliar ethnic or cultural setting, or a remote location. you have met this challenge with confidence and pride, making your nation proud of you. by the same token, you have extended your hand and hospitality to visitors to our country.

a country cannot count itself strong by its armed services alone, but must also depend on its civilians. with military wives and husbands setting a superior example through devotion, courage, and commitment, we are a nation of strength.

military spouses … stand tall, stand proud … we salute you, you are truly our unsung heroes.

big ups to the man upstairs for making it possible for matt to come home on such an important day for me :) hug a military spouse & thank them for everything that they do.

One of the guys drank alot of Sake so we had some fun messing with him! Then we took them back to base and Kenny got some Sparks and we went back to the hotel. We drank them. I dont like the after taste but it was a nice buzz. We had a good night! It was nice to get to sleep with my husband again!!! Also
Saturday we staied in bed for a while then got up and took some more of his friends to the mall from base. We went and ate lunch and then we went back to base so Kenny could get all his stuff for the ball. We got back and took a shower and then got a phone call from his friend Lindly who we were going to the ball with, he was stuck at the mall and the duty van was gonna be 45 mins to get him and we had to be there at 6 (it was like 5) so we went and got him and then finished getting ready. Then got some set backs at base getting Kenny and Lindly ready and then we got LOST LOST LOST trying ot find Lindlys dates house!! We got her and got to the ball 2 hours (almost) late! But we got there! I found Sarah and she look AWSOME!!!!!! We got a table and ate dinner and talked with the guy who was driving the Admeral around. He was funny. Then Kenny and I went and got pictures taken and then I met his Cheif and then we danced and hung out with Sarah and her DH. We took the cups and candles and mirrors. Matt and Kenny both cup themselves on the mirrors. Poor babies!! Then we all went to Waffle House and hung out there till like 1 am almost! Then we took Lindly and Kat back and Kenny came back to the hotel. I was up till 3:45 but I fell alseep.
Kenny had to be back to muster and have a duty day at 0545 but I took him back at 0500 then I went back to the hotel and had the wrost 4 hours of sleep in my life!! I kept waking up. I got ready and and packed up and checked out and then went back to base and saw my hubby! We ate and then I left. I didnt want to but I went home and I was sooo tired!! I came home and took a nap!!

For the Military Girls!

I would like to recognize these often underestimated, unseen, and unheard heroes.

This is for the sad military wives, the angry military wives, and the strong military wives.

This is for the young women that are waking up at 6 a.m. every morning, laying out clothes and packing three lunches for those small precious children that they have been left alone to care for.

This is for the pregnant military wife wondering if her husband will make it home in time to watch their miracle happen

*This is for the childless military wife, living in a town or on a base alone where she is a complete stranger to her surroundings.

This is for the women that feel like a third leg when they go out with their friends and their husbands.

*This is for the military wife that canceled all her plans to wait by the phone, and even though the phone broke up and cut off every time you spoke to him you waited anyway.

*This is a pledge to the women that cry themselves to sleep in an empty bed.

This is to recognize the woman that felt like she was dying inside when he said he had to go, but smiled for him anyway.

*This is for those of you that are faithfully in that long line at the post office once a month, handling 2 large boxes and 2 small children like a pro.

*This is for that woman that decided to remodel the house to pass time, and then realized that she had no idea what she was doing and sighed and wished she had a little help.

This is for all the lonely nights, all the one-person dinners, and all of the wondering thoughts because you haven't heard from him in days.

*A toast to you for falling apart and putting yourselves back together. Because a pay check isn't enough, a body pillow in your bed is no consolation, and a web cam can never compare.

This is for all of you no matter how easy or hard this was for you. Our marines/soldiers/airmen/sailors/coast men are brave, they are heroes, but so are we.

So the next time someone tells you that they would never marry a military guy, don't bother explaining to them that you can't control who you fall in love with. *Just think of this and nod your head, know that you are the stronger woman.*

Hold your heads up high, hang that flag in your front yard, stick 100 magnets on your car, and then give yourself a pat on the back.

My totaly awsome weekend and my WEDDING!!

So I left Thursday and ran down to get my marriage license. Got it no problems and went to Jessicas house. We went to the Commasary and then hung out at her house and played with her Wii!! Mark cooked dinner while I went to get Kenny. He was in his working whites (very cute!) we went back to Jessicas house. He gave me my ring! I was sooo excited!! We ate dinner, Mark had to go back to study so he didnt stay long, Kenny did too and I had to take him back. It make me sad! I didnt wanna let him go, but I did. Jessica and I hung out some more then went and passed out.

Friday we woke up and went to meet the lady Jessica was dog sitting for then I drove out to Kiawah Island. I took a nap in my car and got some icecream waitting for my Mum to get there. We got our gate passes and went to the house, it was cute. Mums friend of 30 years her husband and Dad got in and Alex was on her way! Also found out that Alexs DF Scott was coming down!! We werent telling Kenny. It was a suprise. But he wasnt going to be there intime for the rehersal dinner. So Mum her friend Nancy and I went to the store and gots food. And hung out. I called Alex to check in on her and she was lost. So we tried to figure out where she was...well she was an hour away from where she needed to be!! An hour PAST us!! So she got back on the right track and I sent the family off to the rehersal dinner, cuz I wasnt going to make then all late. So I got ready and waitted for her, she got there and we rushed off! Well we got LOST and I mean LOST in Charleston!! We went around the same area I kid you not 6 times! So we were almost 2 hours late for dinner! BUT we got there and had alot of fun! Kenny was mad cuz I wouldnt let him spend the night with me. So we left and went back to Kiawah, but we followed the people with the GPS so we didnt get lost! Got alex all checked in and we were waitting on Scott to get there! He did and we went back to the house! Scott had had a Red Bull and was HYPER! So we didnt get to sleep till like 2am! That sucked but thats okay.

Saturday! Wedding Day! We woke up and had breakfast! Just kindda sat around then started getting the showers in. Scott and Daddy went and got hair cuts. Then Mum started on my hair and Alexas and Lorings. Robert got ready and everything was going fine! Until Dad started RUSHING us! Then I got stressed out and worried. I was fine until that point! At two we packed everyone up and went to the church. I gto into my dress and the flowers got there and I started having a minor freak out! But I was okay. John (my bio father) showed up, he was nice and I dont know whats going on with him but he wasnt his normal a$$ hole self! He was talking to everyone and hugged Mum and talked to her and the kids. it was kindda scary! He freaked me out. Anyway! So everyoen was ready and Mum and Daddy walked me down! I didnt cry, but I almost did when I watched my brother and sister go in, they were so cute! I couldnt stop smiling and my lip was twitching which was odd I must say, Kenny said he didnt notice it so thats cool. We went through the ceramony, Kennys sister lost it I mean full on sobing when the flowers we got for his mother were mentioned. It was awsome, we did the pictures and license signing. Then we got into the carriage and took a nice ride to the resturant. We got honked and congradulated by 24 people (Alex and Scott counted for us). We all hung out in the bar till the tables were ready then went up and ate and talked and my little sister had control of the camera. Then we cute the cake and fed it to eachother. No we didnt smash it, but he did take a bite then whiped it on my cheek! I was soo mad at him!!! Then we hung out and I gave Kennys sister Nancy the flowers we had gotten for his Mum. She cried some more then. So then we headed out and everyone went back to their places and Kennys Dad took us to our Bed and Breakfast. We took a bath and relaxed. It was nice to get out of my dress cuz th corset bones in it were digging into my rib cage and starting to hurt by the end of the night. Then there was and we went to sleep. It was the best BED EVER!!!! It had an UBER fluffy feather top and a BUNCH of feather pillows on the bed a HUGE down comferter! It was one you lay down and sink into and just PASS out! There was a nice fire place too!

Sunday we got up and ate breakfast after a shower. Then packed upp our stuff and Mum and Nancy came tp get us. We went back to Kiawah, and we got some more gorceries and then headed back to the house. We hung out with Alex and Scott and ate. Daddy and Bruce (Mums friends Nancys Husband) were golfing and Mum, Nancy and the Kids and Grandma went to exploe the island. So Kenny and I filled out his page two and lots of other paperwork! Housing paperwork and such! While Alex and Scott had their fun in the bed room. I love them. Then we took Kenny back to base. I didnt want to once again! (HE LEFT HIS PHONE WITH HIS DAD!!! I COULD KILL HIM!) So we didnt talk last night. Anyway! Scott, Alex and I went back and I studied and they took a nap, then we ate dinner and Scott and Alex left for Wilmington. I filled Easter Eggs and got my car packed up with our gifts (we got a single cup coffee maker, dishes and cups and silverwear and a Wachovia gift card.) and then I passed out!

Today I got up at 7 and showered and headed back to Goose Cree kso I could go ot the courthouse to get copies of our marriage license for the Navy. Got those after some drama about the fact that they dont have the copies from the chapel yet and I had to give them mine or some like that. Anyway! I got back on the raod and made it back up here, hid the Easter Eggs and finished studying for my psych exam. Ran my the post office with the marriage licnese to get to Kenny and then went and took my exam. And now I am back!

So that was the weekend. But they wont be of the ceramony, those I wont have for 7 to 10 days. But all in all it was a wonderful weekend and i miss my husband and wish I didnt have to be up here but school will be out soon and the subball is in two weeks so soon!

We go traveling back in time

So there are 6 days left till our wedding. I couldn’t be happier!! I love him soo very very much!

I have been doing a lot of thinking (which I think comes when you are about to get married) about past relationships and what I liked and what I didn’t like about them. You are supposed to learn something for every relationship. I think I know what I have learned from them. But there are things about them that I miss. Like with Robby, I miss the innocence we had, before we had sex. There was just this air of innocence about everything. I liked that. With Bennett I liked how everything was so new (mostly in the bed room :D) because it was such a serious relationship. But then again both of those relationships were fairly dysfunctional. Anyway!! I have been doing a lot of thinking like I said and I feel like this wedding will be the way to a whole new wonderful life for us!!

On a side note I HATE allergy seasons! I NEVER had allergies till I moved here, but the whole WORLD is yellow right now!! I can’t get into my car with out my head feeling like it might explode and this odd feeling my in mouth/throat! I hate it!! Can the yellow go away now? Please!!

Here comes the BRIDE!!

I spent the weekend with Kenny and it was amazing! We had so much fun with the kids and I have new pictures and a slide show. We had such a great time. Sunday was the best day! We were sitting in the car infront of the NEX and Kenny asked me to marry him! It wasnt exceptionaly romantice or anything like that but he told me I am getting a second proposal when we are ready to have our second BIG wedding.

So April 7th! Will be my wedding day! We are going to have a small wedding with close friends (Alex, Scott, Brenna, Rob and Ali (Shannon cant come not enough notice)) and family! So I AM GETTING MARRIED!!!

Then that trio went to camp and turned it upside-downo

So I think Shannon is mad at me. Which kindda bugs me. Cuz all I did was give her advice! She asked for it and I gave it to her! Im sorry that I hurt your feelings baby, I love you and I dont want to hurt you I just want you and Matt to be happy and perfect together! Im sorry.

Work sucked, tomorrows gonna suck. Shea gets to go see Kenny andi h ave to work all weekend so I cant go and that makes me mad. But I am going to see him in two weeks and then I will be moving there in about 4 months. So that willl be nice. I miss him though. Ah well!

Dinner tonight was Jello, Apple sauce and 100 calorie pack Oreos. So Im hungry now...so I need to go find food, but I dont wanna move.

Alex and I are baby sitting tomorrow which will be cool and such. I was worried about her and she is okay now! Im gonna sneeze!

Kenny is out with the guys I think...bawh...I wonder if I get to talk to him tonight? I need to tell him about Shea!

Suddenly I see why the hell it means so much

I was soo happy to see Kenny at graduation, I squeeled and jumped on him and knocked him into some guy who we apparently almost knocked over...but I didnt care. We were able to go back to my hotel room for a while alone, cuz his dads fiance convinced his dad. We called my mum so she and the kids could talk to him and then we just lay there and held eachother and that was sooo nice. We were picked up and we went to the mall and rainforest cafe and then he came back with me for about a little while. We were having and I started crying cuz I am a loser like that and I was just sooo happy to be with him again...it killed the mood needless to say. So he went back to base and I couldnt sleep.
He came back the next morning as soon as they got liberty. Its was like 8 or 8:30 and we took a nap till about 11. Then we took forever getting ready and we were gonna go into the city but it never happened. We just lay in bed and took a bath and had lik 15 tickle wars and talked. Then we went to the base around 5. Hung out at the NEX. I met at least 15 guys whos names i cant rmeber and wont remeber even if I hear them a million times again! I met his roommate at A-school, he was a cool guy. His girlfriend couldnt make it so that was sad. Once again I couldnt tell you his name. But like I said cool kid. So we called me a cab back to my hotel and we said good bye and i got to the hotel got in my room and sobbed! Full mental break down crying. It was bad! I got better and just kindda passed out at some point I dont remeber.
My cab came at 7 am to take me to the air port, so I was in the airport when Kenny called me the first time today. I cried a little when we talked. I was trying reallly hard to not cry but it didnt work. He went ot the mall with some guys today. I got back to Charlotte and was drving home when he called again, we talked for a good 45 mins. I didnt cry this time (alothough I am now a little) but he told me about his day and how much it sucked cuz I wasnt there and how he cant wait till we are in Goose Creek together. Hes going there Tuesday and his first full weekend liberty I am going down there to spend it with him. We are going to look at places and such. But I cant wait to talk to him again.
Leaving again was the hardest thing! We were trying to find ways to get me to stay longer but it would have been close to 300 to change my flight. So I had to go.
All in all it was awsome and I cant even really put into words how much I loved seeing him

And now the pictures!!!

Where ever you are tonight know we are there with you

So I joined all these new support groups on both myspace, lj and a new forum. Its helping alot. I miss Kenny soo much but it helps to have other people to talk too. I cant wait for him to come home, or at least wait for him to call or write or somthing! I wanna hear from him. He means soo much to me. hahahaha family is guy is doing this Navy song and dance makes me laugh.

Shannon and I had a wonderful time in Vegas and back home. Christmas was very nice (although I I had hoped Kenny would have gotten a phone call). Shannon bought me like 15 new shirts! Its crazy, her and her family. It makes me really happy. So that was cool. Shannys Dad told his mother-in-law to go play in a plastic bag. Which I thought was funny as hell. Im glad Mum and Kenny get along so well. Cuz it would make me sad if they didnt get along.

Mum says we are going to drive to Kennys graduation. Scott wants to come too. So I think we are all gonna get into the car and drive up to Great Lakes IL. I cant wait for that day. I just wanna hug him and never let him go. His Dad will be there too. So new pictures when that happens.

I need to go to bed, alex and I are going running in less then 4 hours and I am still awake...not good! Im trying to lose weight for when he comes home. Wish me luck

I love you more today then yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow......

Kenny left for boot camp two days ago. I miss him like Crazy! But I talked to him last night and I think everything is going really well. He was put in charge of the people going up there and all the paper work, he said ti was cuz he is the highest rank, I agree but I think its cool. The more leadership jobs he gets the better for him and the more phone calls he will get. I am really hoping this goes well for him. We are pretty much counting on this for like our life and such.

My butt hurts...maybe beacuse I have been sitting on the floor for like the last 4 hours...

I get to go see my Shanny in a few days. 6 days acctually. Its gonna be soooo much fun!!! Vegas and then going to like 5 diffrent Christmas parties. I am having 4 christmasses this year...one with Kenny before he left, one with Shannys Dads family, one with her Mums and one with my family when I get back. Shannons family loves me so they all got me presants, which makes it hard on me, cuz I have very little money this year and I have to get a bunch of presants. Damn them! Well not really...I love them all too. But yeah I have gifts to buy. I get to see my Grandparents while I am there, so thats gonna be super cool! Cuz I miss them.

My finger hurts...I cut it pealing potatos a few days ago. I nicked it but its cut funny so stuff gets under it. Makes it hurt.

Mummy got a horse...for the family...shes pretty. Shes an Arabian, 14 years old, 14 hands high. Her name is Sparklyn Blaze. She is very sweet. The kids dont know and Dad just found out. Hes okay with it. I can ride her when the kids are at school. So that will be nice. She rides Western and since I cant ride English very well. So I can go to the barn saddel her up and ride her around. So thats nice.

I have bills to pay and a plane ticket to buy and such...

So Italy didnt work out, for those who didnt already know. She was crazy and wouldnt stop yelling at me and then she fried me when I asked her not to yell and then she kicked me out in the middel of the night. So it didnt work.

I got a job at kid-cam. Its a preschool here, working as a teacher assistant. My pay will go up with I get my credentials. I test for those in a few months, and those are good nation wide. So things are shaping up to be okay.

Daddy sold me his car. So I got the Celica. I am also (when I get the money for my car accident and save some from work, which should only take about 2 or 3 pay checks) getting a pretty Kawasaki Ninja Z-X6. Its lowered and purple and the running lights change colors. Alex also agreed to paint my car for me, its going to be blue pearl, which means black and then blue in the light. I am hella jazzed about that. Im looking for a bodykit that I like to get before we paint it, so I can get that on there. I have until December to get that though. Scott told me he would help me with the engine work, as well as picking out a bodykit. So that makes me happy.

I got sick when I was working at the preschool. So I have a cold/flu like thing. So that kindda sucks.

Kenny is here, he leaves for Virgina Beach on Monday. He is going to live with his sister until he ships out. He is going to come down here right before he leaves for boot camp. ::sad panda:: But when he gets back we are going to move to Charelston, SC. I am really looking forward to that. I will be alone in the appartment most of the time, with our puppy of course, but it will be our place.

I am gonna go eat some foodz!

Its all over now my grandddadys dead a misterious blow to his wrikled old head

So everyithing on my LJ main page is in Italian, kindda throws me off!

Mum apparently sent out this email to people at the church here in Rome saying I was some lost, lonely, crazy little girl who needed a friend. So I got alll theses calls yesterday. So I went into Rome today with this woman Mary from the UK and we went to lunch at the church, and there was this guy there from DC. He was kindda creepy. I made the lonely little girl comment and then something about just being cute and he was like aww poor little girl, and we just like it when your cute. He MIGHT habve been gay though and just creepy. I dont know. But it weirded me out! But it was nice to talk to people who spoke fluent english. That made me feel some whate better. I relized today I have strated talking really slow and using small words beacuse Beatrice doenst know what I am saying. But I walked to the Trevi Fountan today, threw in a coin for luck and one with a wish. It was very pretty! I saw some ruins yesterday and I saw the Colosum but couldnt figure out how to get there. I will bring the map with me next time. I might try ahd Spanish steps tomorrow, but I am not sure.

Its getting a little better being here as days pass. I just need to make some friends. That will be very very helpful. There is a girl from Australia who apparently wants to meet me, so yay! Language school starts on the 8th and there are two other Au Pairs in that, and there will be one arriving from the US on the 8th as well. So I need to make it through this week and the next then I can meet people. I am sure I will meet the girl from Australia before the end of this week, at least I hope so....
