Florence Italy Tomorrow!

I can't believe that I am jetting off to Florence tomorrow, it seems so crazy and so surreal. My mother-in-law was asked to show a piece of artwork there and she invited me as well as her brother-in-law, Dick, his daughter/her niece,Kristina, and Kristina's close girlfriend, Jen, to go along too. So I happily said yes and well, the rest is history.

I am very excited to spend a week with family, eat gelato, thin pizza, shop, sightsee, see the Christmas decorations and just enjoy a fun getaway. I will check back in with you all next Monday when I return. Until then ciao!

Inspirational Quote Friday

Happy Friday, ladies and gentleman! I love this quote I found on fb and think that it fits perfectly for me because although I can't see the whole big picture right now I know everything will make sense when I look back years from now. I do agree that challenges strength a person and hopefully make you more appreciative for all that you have in this world.

I feel a little uneasy about the fact that I don't have a job yet since moving out to CA-anyone know people who are hiring for part time or full time event planning/marketing related jobs hit me up :). I mean between going back to the East Coast several times this summer, I haven't really settled down since September and the hubby has told me to take it slow and find my ideal job, one that makes me truly happy and fulfilled since my last gig was truly miserable. I mean I am very grateful but sometimes I feel anxiety, lacking purpose and stuck. Normal, I hope?! I'm still settling in to CA life and being far away from everything I've ever known-missing my girlfriends-- horribly at times, dreaming about being a homeowner at some point down the road..., thinking about babies in the next few years, having a pup who is now 6 months old. There is a lot swirling around in my head and a lot of changes going on in my life so I am really trying to adapt and take risks and put myself out there. Here is to new adventures and a lovely, relaxing weekend ahead! WahooooOOOOOoooooo
