Sardinia

 Now that we are in the swing of things with our new school routines, it's time to catch up on life!! Here's what you missed! 


Our second visitors arrived the day after school was out for the summer!   My mom and step dad were able to come and visit us for two weeks.They were welcome with a gigantic hail storm, it hailed so much it looked like snow drifts!  We thought we would start the summer off in style, with a trip to Sardinia.  It was unlike any place we have ever been.  


Sardinia is a small Italian island about a one-hour flight away.  It is known for its amazing beaches and crystal-clear water.  Let me tell you, it didn't disappoint. What a great way to relax after a long school year and I can’t imagine a nicer way to get over jet lag!

Each day we chose a different beach, all offering something different.  The sands were different, the landscape was different, the fact that they didn’t have any sea shells was different, the snorkeling was different and all were located with about 15 minutes of each other! 


We decided to stay at an Airbnb for a little extra room and a pool.  The kids were in heaven.  We spent lazy mornings playing UNO, swimming, catching butterflies and then a quick drive to a new beach each day.

We also got to see the ancient ruins, had some yummy Italian food of course, and just enjoyed the amazing view every night! It’s definitely on our list of places to go again!

We've arrived

 Buongiorno! It's been over 5 months since my last update.  We thought we would live in the apartment 6 weeks, but that turned into 5 months.  It was long and frustrating but we reached the end of the tunnel and I'm now sitting in Italy drinking coffee on the patio.  I guess it was worth the wait!   We arrived on Tuesday morning and I'm pretty sure since then I've slept about 8 hours total. Jet lag is rough!  The kids finally slept through the night last night.  So maybe Josh and I are close too!   The boys started school and the first day seemed to be great!  They are going to the International School in Bologna and have already made some friends.  I've met several people as well and everyone is so friendly!  We're all in the same boat and everyone just "gets it".  They get the frustrations and the delay, the different food and the tired kids.  So I think we will fit in just fine!       ...

How it all came about

                                                                                As usual, when big things happen Josh is traveling.  He received a phone call late one evening while in the hotel.  Asking how he would like to work in Italy.  There weren't many details yet, but his mind started spinning and let's say he didn't sleep much that night.  Fast forward to the next morning.  I was doing my usual bible study and just felt and overwhelming sense that I needed to say "Yes" to God.  I didn't know what that meant, but in one short day I would find out.  Josh would get home late that night but I was already in bed.  He didn't want to wake me, so he held onto the news for one more day.  Another sleeple...

YES You Can!

                                                                       As the news starts to spread we hear people tell us over and over, "Oh, I could never do that".  Never move to another country, never learn a new language, never move away from family and friends.  Well years ago I thought the same thing.  Then I was asked and my very first response was, "Well, can you say no?" The answer to that question was, "well no, not really."  So we jumped in feet first and we are doing the same this time.   My answer to those who don't think they could, is Yes of course you can!  Anyone can, if you're called to do something you will find a way.  You will be equipped to carry out whatever your mission is.  Something we choose to live by i...
