"sketches a lot"

i typed a whole post earlier and the computer spazzed out on me so i will attempt to recreated my post.. it rained for the first time here today and it made things so much cooler! i am actually a little cold but i love it! things keep going like nothing happened even though it was a downpour... we are leaving for florence and venice in the morning and we will be gone 8 days or so.. we are taking a train and i am super excited because i have always wanted to ride a train! this weekend was super good and i finally slept in and relaxed.. saturday night we went to see Pirates of the Caribbean 3.. the theatre was so nice and i forgot for a minute i wasnt in america.. i forgot until the movie started and realized the whole thing was in Italian.. we hoped for an english showing with italian subtitles.. no such luck.. it was fun though and we.. the americans would just laugh when everyone else did and even sometimes when they didnt and we were the only ones. we got out of it at 1:45 in the AM so we caught a night bus and then walked the rest of the way home.. sunday we slept in and made a family style dinner that night in our room and had 5 people over for spaghetti and chicken.. we played scrabble and watched friends! it was nice to feel like i was with family.. the public transportation here scares me more everyday.. the trams wont start and dont move.. and the whole subway scare thing.. but whats an adventure without some suprises along the way.. well im hungry and i need to go pack for the trip.. pray for me that my quiet times would increase in length and that i would find more time that i thought possible to spend with the Lord in my day thats crazy and jam packed with stuff.. he is so gracious and giving and rejoices with me in the opportunity i have.. if you talk to me ask me how 1 Peter 2 is going! well thats about all for now so until next time mucho amore and blessings!
