Kayla's Italian Mom and Dad they are so wonderful. They made us this amazing pasta with all the finestest ingredients from all over Italy, the best olive oil, the best parmigianno, great Panodoro :) moto bene (i dont know how to spell in Italiano just i know how to speak it a little now) un po. Anyways we had a jolly time using many nonverbals and talking about the country, movies, good books, everything you can think of i believe we were talking for 3 1/2 hours and eating :) i love this place what a perfect sunday!
This is Chapman he is a delight :) Kayla says he reminds her of me and I think i like that because he is just a sunbeam and makes everyone happy :)
This is kayla and Alexis and Mouna!!! Gorgeous girls they are so much fun to talk to and be with! What a pleasant house hold woow
This is Kayla's Italian brother he is very funny :) he has similar taste in favorite actors!
the moon outside kayla's window at 1 am i just couldnt help it i jumped out of bed to take this photo
We are entering Lucca,, it is a walled city that took us a 1 1/2 to get to from Firenze. This wall is very old one of the strongest and oldest! wow
we had to go through this awesome tunnel that had coble stone floors and an eerie feeling, yet it smelled surprisingly clean!
THE LAST DANDELION! .. except there where fifty of them! haha i just like ice Age the movie and quoted the first one right there! :)
Entering the city, i am already amazed and i havent even gotten to the center yet. we proceed and stop at a coffee shoppe
I skip the round delights and go for the chocolate filled croissant and the cappacino. Italy has the best cappacinno's ever... i will never be the same!
I have decided i want to name my son Leonardo... it is an amazing name.. yet of course i am open to opinions :) i just thought i like the name and Aurora for a girl :)
The shopping was magical, i never shoppe but it was so quaint and delightful i had too, i got some nice christmas presents and a scarf!
Ice skating in LUCCA!
Christmas tree o Christmas tree how lovely are your branches
The Market in Firencze (Florence en inglese)

the train stop :) from Lucca! We went to get a snack before leaving and we got to have an amazing Italian wine and had apetizers with Lucca olive oil which is the best in italy i rea dit online ;) good source eh?
sooo glad i do not be where there is real snow at the moment... yet i found out today that there werew 100 mph winds in scotland today!!! and it snowed this week,,, i am so glad i went to Italy
Last picture with these trousers... i happened to go to a bible study after our day trip and i gave them to someone there... i just went in the bathroom and put on the jeans i bought,, which is a miracle that i bought them.. first of all i never buy things... second of alli dont shop,, third of all i definalty dont shop for jeans or any type of trousers. ... but i tried on like 25 pairs overall and my last pair i decided and they wer not even expensive! boom... and i went to the bible study and this girl just siad that her favorite color was the color of my trousers and kaylas jacket and she loved that i had them in trousers cause she wants some like it,,, so i went to the bathroom and changed and made her try them on and they are perfect!! hahah i think i made a friend i didnt mean too. i just knew that God had me go through the pains of shopping for a reason he wanted to bless his daughter@ so glad i could help!
at the market there is everything you could imagine from chocolate pasta, to apples to cheese, to meat... flowers etc. kayla says this was the longest she stayed in there.. usually too over whelmed by the masses
always beautiful music is playing by the ufizzi!
View from the Uffizze!!! stunning i stood there for 20 minutes wooooo
sitting enjoying cappacino looking over the city and asking God to come and be with me. no matter if he says a word i just want to know that he is near i want to know that he loves me and i want to blieve in him more!! my gosh if i truly knew him... and believe all of it.. my life would be radicall.. someday is my prayer to live radically.
David.. this is a copy but i like it anyways.. and these other statues are his friends i like them too
i was just wandering around the city cause kayla had class and i stayed 2 hours longer than her at the art museum :) hehe i think i love art
TODAY! Jesus knew he wanted to have all of us today. I had a intense battle with my friend self pity and shame.. yet i told them to back off and i believe we broke up i just dont want them knocking at my door anymore... i may just have to give them a ringtone that says DO NOT PICK UP! do not listen.. to know the sound of who i need to pick up for is important.. Jesus and his truth is all i need nothing else will satisfy
this is my yellow balloon! i fell in love and knew i had to sit down and hold it just for Winnie the Pooh .. he would have been proud.
Dang i think David is following me... i turned him down cause we just dont have much to talk about... but I am glad to see him today and overlook Firenze together it was classic..
Pinnoccio! :) the story comes from here and he is very famous :)
Kayla and I were enjoying the music overlooking Firenze and journalling and reading the word it was EPIC! and then this guy comes in his car with loud music on and his friend too.. very silly and they walk by and the vibrant blue one asks for one of my crackers or makes some sort of joke and i retort back easily and we end up hanging out for 2 hours :) they were hilarious :) and we got to be praying for them now!! :) they were gentlemen and taught us cool things about Italian and other languages!
we asked this sweet couple if we could take a picture for them and then they offered, so we gladly accepted! then when the man saw how we were hugging in our picture he wanted another picture with him and his wife with him hugging her this time! so sweet
on the old bridge there were shops and shops of gold jewlerey it was ... magnificent
So many people in one place... it was unreal! :) its a holiday here today dec. 8th and everyone gives gifts its kinds like Christmas so everyone is off work!!! weeee
tonight we had family dinner and we enjoyed some great italian people and food, we played catch phrase and maphia! i was god in the mafia game and got to make up all the stories and lead the whole thing and explain it!! :)))) it was amazing a flash back to this summer and i always feel so alive when playing games and having get togethers... i might be an extrovert! not sure though... :) anyways sooooo thankful for today and i am also so excited for everyday to come forever... there is no day that i am not looking forward to! i am just so glad that everything really is formed by our perspective and outlook. i am happy to be able to choose how i see things and i want to be so much more gratefule verysingle day... i want to read the word of God more,, i want to k now him more,, and i want to be renewed continually :) i love you everyone and going to bed its like 3 am here...
