Roman Holiday

At the end of November or the beginning of December, I made a comment on facebook that I was thinking about being a nanny in Italy.  It was mostly a joke just to see what people would say, but then I really started to look into it.  I found a website where nannies / au pairs could connect with families looking to hire.  There was one family in particular that just look so sweet and friendly.  It was the only family that I would have truly been interested in working for.  Well several weeks went by with out hearing anything back from then, until two and a half weeks ago.  They wrote back saying that they were interested in hiring me to take care of their two little girls.  Since then it has been a whirlwind but I have decided to take the position and move to Rome for three months!  We are now waiting on the Italian government to grant me a work visa so that I can stay longer than 90 days.  I will leave sometime between now and Feb. 11th.  I am so excited about this opportunity and can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for me over there.  The family lives in the city center of Rome about a 5 min. walk from the Vatican!  So instead of my usual sign off I will say

Ciao,
