France anyone??

So this is Nice, France. Andrea and I decided to hop over the border and check it out for a day. It was rainy and cold the whole time, but of course that didn't stop us from our fun!!!

I really wanted to write a message in a bottle so I thought France was a good place to fulfill that goal :) Of course we documented the significant event !!! ha ha Writing and professing my love...

Rolling...

Deciding which bottle to use....Went with the plastic one because it had a lid...

And there it goes!!!

Wishin and Hopin for my bottle to be found by one one, true love!Check out the sky, one direction was dark and stormy while the opposite direction was bright and sunny. It was nuts!

Sunday Update

Okay first of all can I just say how much I love bide's?? I don't think I've ever mentioned them in this blog and they are definately on my top ten list (...maybe even my top five)! I am totally having one in my house when I get one.
Second, I AM AN AUNT AGAIN!!!!! WOOO I love it, but come on family...I NEED PICTURES!
Last...I am so happy right now. I love Italy. I love what I am doing and I love the things I am able to see and learn here. I am so thankful for this wonderful opportunity.
That's all!
Ciao Tutti!!!!!

P.S. France pictures to come :)

Heaven on Earth??...I think YES!

I was sooooo lucky to spend all of Easter week in this beautiful town, Finale Ligure. I went with Andrea and her family (Mirco, Laura, Laura's mom, and their beautiful daughters Emma & Gaia)! I was also able to visit some of the surrounding cities--Finalborgo, and Varigotti!

We found a trail and decided to hike up and it led to an old watch tower and BEAUTIFUL views over the city!
Lookin out over the ledge....I think I almost gave Andrea a heart attack
Uhhhh...this says USA= dead :/
I had THE best runs ever here. These are the wooden sidewalks I ran on right along side the shoreline. I seriously ran with a HUGE grin on my face the whole time and I felt like I was in a movie because it was so perfect! Finalborgo! Emma & Gaia being Texas cowgirls!!!! :)
I am in LOVE with this picture of Emma! She was taking pictures with Andrea's camera and she looked so cute, so I snapped one of her!
I had just gotten there from the train station so that's why i'm in normal clothes!
