Carnevale di Acireale 2009

Joe and I went to Carnevale last Saturday, it was such a great experience. We think it was similar to Halloween since children and adults dress up in costumes but everyone throws confetti and sprays silly string and there are floats, such fun.

A lovely little day

Loosing it

I've been on a quest to loose weight and while I've been fairly successful (I'm half way to my goal) I have a complaint. Can a person complain when they are loosing weight? Well I'm going to!

As thrilled as I am to actually loose [any] weight, I'm disappointed that one particular piece of clothing is no longer fitting properly. My bra. It's so difficult to find decent bras here that I'm really bothered by this. Joe just doesn't understand, he said "go buy a new one". Oh husband if you only knew how annoying that suggestion was.

So that's one thing I'm looking forward to in the U.S., more retail options because sometimes function over beauty really does matter!

Überrascht

I haven't updated in awhile, partly because I don't know what to say.

I've learned that nothing is certain in the military, but I might be leaving in a month. There is so much to do and I feel terribly unprepared. I have so many mixed emotions about leaving, this is the first place Joe and I lived together and called home. I thought we'd have a few more months to take in all the bits that we love here, I feel like I'm getting ripped off!

Joe has been at medical appointments for the past couple of weeks [nothing is wrong, they are required] and is now submitting paperwork.

We don't know where our destination is or when we actually leave, but we know it is really happening.
