Lets hear it for the boys






Happy Valentine's day!!
This year I decided to make it all about Lu
Of course i made him a card and all that
but the best part was the surprise breakfast in bead!!
I used heart shaped cookie cutters to create
a heart shaped oatmeal pancake with strawberries on top
i got a recipe online for a greek yogurt parfait
with hand made granola, dried fruit, berries, and honey.
fresh squeezed orange juice and a large cappuccino.
I have to say he really enjoyed the american-style breakfast
(good thing i made seconds)

other news,
Luciano and I are relocating to finally have our own apartment,
with my new job we will bring in more cash and lus parents are going to help us out too.. its time for us to really start living on our own
We are very excited!!
we will move into the new place in a few weeks,
Ill have to upload pictures after we unpack

what's goin on

well not a lot of events.. but i thought id update anyways

good news:
luciano is doing great with school!!
studing all day (at least 5 hours non stop)
and he has been awarded with a 30+ (A+)
in his latest exam in philosophy of the science in the contemporary age
wooo go lu!! he has a few more exams coming up so it wont be for a while
until we can relax.

bad news:
my job hunt has been pretty lame-ish though
lu and i have been looking for work for me
(all over italy) and we havent gotten anywhere it seems.
wish me luck!(gulp)
so we have been looking into me continuing my studies
this was the work i did for the company


good news:
the book that i illustrated for is coming out soon
and i have to prepare a speech at this presentation for it
its going to be in italian and lu will help me with it
(ill try to convince him to tape it so you can see me!!)

more good news:
well since lu and i aint got no money in the bank
we need a job. and fortunately our jogging every-other day
and not eating anything yummy is paying off
a few agencies are interested in us
we have the meetings with them this week!!
(ps elite said no, turns out we are both 3cm too short to do runway
lovvveee it)

so really not a lot of excitement at the gregoretti-givens house
but hopefully something will come along
