A post of apartment pictures is long overdue, but with how busy I’ve been it’s been hard to find a second to unpack, let alone decorate! The apartment still isn’t perfect, but it’s starting to feel more like me. Soooo (drumroll please!), here goes a little tour of my lovely new Opera apartment! This […]
My New Apartment!
God Bless America
This morning, I sat my students down for our morning meeting and told them, “Today’s a very special day!” Before I could finish my thought one of my little boys chimed in “I know what today is, it’s September 11th. That’s the day the terrorists attacked America.” Actually, I had planned on telling them that […]
The Duomo and My Tupperware of Wine
Buonasera famiglia! What a week. This has seriously been such an exhausting couple of days, but so wonderful and what I’ve been wanting for my life for as long as I can remember.

On my second birthday, I was stung on the eyelid by a bee; for my fourth, I had the chicken pox; my sixth was made eventful by stepping on a […]
No Going Back Now…
“No going back now” seemed to be the phrase that defined a four day stint in Morocco during my semester in Spain, and this has been on my mind quite a bit for the past few days. My group’s trip with Crossing Borders was only a few weeks into the semester and everyone was new, […]
