Birthday Time!

Another month has passed and we are already half way through March.... I had an amazing birthday :) My mom and two Aunties,Aunt Cyndy and Aunt Marian sent me packages, along with my Oma who sent me a little something special.  It is so nice to get love even when on the other side of the world.  I have been showered with gifts and love and could not be more thankful to everyone who made my day amazing.  To top everything off, last night we threw a party with my friend Federica, whose birthday was the day before mine.  We had about 40 people at the house, Vincenzo's house used to be a restaurant and the basement, where there was a pizzeria is now used for family parties....so we made a fire and some pasta and had a few too many beers, Vincenzo as the self-appointed D.J. and we had a blast.
Me and Federica (cake made my Vincenzo's dad, Andrea) 

Our house is nearly finished and we are so excited!  This week we are going to pick up furniture and start the big cleaning process.  Then thanks to some taco spices I got for my birthday (thanks Aunt Cyndy!) I am already dreaming up a taco party to christen the new casa.

Much love from this end!  Mom and dad will be here in June and we are already picking out places to take them.  Thanks again to everyone for making me feel very special on my 24th Birthday!  Here's to many more!
Pretty luckY!  Vincenzo got me a spankin' new bike!
