so much to say

Well I havent been able to update in a while because Luciano and I have relocated to our new apartment!! We found a small place in a great location of milan (porta venezia) It makes it much easier to get around and the area is very alive with plenty of things to do. I couldnt be more thrilled. For being in such a great area and practically new, the price is a steal (for milano) So recently I picked up a few jobs to help pay for the apartment (and for a little pocket money hahah) One of those jobs, is modeling ( i recently got my first editorial job!! with janet sport) I mostly run around the city and go to castings and go-sees, in the evening I tutor a young girl who just moved into the area from london. Then once a week, I teach private english lessons to two middle age Italians who need english to improve their career. Its tough constantly "on the go" but I really enjoy the work.

Last monday I had a casting in Rome for a movie (who knows if i got the part) but I did have enough extra time to explore the city. Before that I worked at Cosmoprof in Bologna, where I had my hair cut and styled on the runway (that was a first haha) (crappy link)

A few days ago the book that I was illustrating for finally came out!! I am so thrilled to hold my hard work in my hands. I will have to make a speech on the book in a month or so because there is a presentation. Ill try to have my sloppy Italian phrases documented. haha

Luciano is busy too, he is studying hard for his exams and finding an internship or possibly even work as a psychologist. Busy as our lives are, we are learning to take time out for ourselves- like walking to the park, going out for coffee, and making dinner together.

This past weekend Luciano, his family, and I went to their cabin in the northern part of Italy for a ski competition (of course I didn’t enter ahah) We had a great time (it was so cold) and ate wonderful fresh food. Lu ended up winning in his age group! (congratss)

OH! Soon enough will be our one year anniversary!! Time just flew by huh? Lu and I are planning on renting a car and spending a long weekend in the tuscan hills while staying in a bed and breakfast farm. I will definatly have to upload pictures of tuscany.

Now that I have the internet I'll have no excuse not to update anymore.


Im finally what i always wanted to be.
a pokemon trainer!!

thanks for following my blog!
