All right, let’s get scrappy..

1.) I have only recently begun chipping away at the thought of what I want to do when I get out of college..which is next month. It’s super exciting but sometimes I just wish I knew it 4 years ago. Better late then never?

2.) Adam and I do not plan on staying in Florida, in fact we hope to be moving to another state in the next 5 years. Their are many reasons, one of them being that my soul needs a new setting. I hope to settle down somewhere with mountains, four seasons, a great school system for whenever the pitter-patter of little beautiful feet arrive, and a place surrounded by beauty(even if I end up in a city where I can drive to beauty. )

3.) I often don’t drink the coffee I post on my blog. Okay I know it’s silly, why would you put it up then? Usually I sip on it and don’t even get through half but it’s easier to say that then say “well, I drink 1/5 of this cup of coffee” sometimes I drink most of it, other times it sits as I get ready for work. I know that was a pointless admission, but I will let you know when I drink all of it and when I don’t if you really want to know.

4.) I love the people in this community. It’s amazing to meet people with the same interests and I feel oddly comfortable sitting at a table with five people all taking pictures of their food. Really, the bloggers in Orlando are awesome and I can’t wait to meet more bloggers and blog readers!

5.) My family is so supportive and that means the world to me. I couldn’t dream the way I do without an amazing support system. I’m very blessed.

6.) I love Italy with all of my heart and soul. God really met me there and I just have such a heart for the Italian people. They are amazing and so much fun oh and man, do they know how to cook!

7.) I want to only get better at blogging. I blog for myself truly and love that you read it, but I also want my blog to be the best it can be because that’s the kind of blog I want to read.

8.) I really think so many reforms need to be made when it comes to cafeteria food in schools. I feel like I see something fried, something drenched in cheese, and many unhealthy things served on a daily basis. It could be so easy and inexpensive to replace with healthier options. That’s a mission I would love to get involved in one day! Can you imagine if local farmers partnered up with schools? How awesome would that be?

9.) I am Italian, German and Irish mainly but I have a whole bunch of smidges of all things European! My grandmother on my mom’s side is from Germany, and was Jewish living in Frankfurt during WW2. She and my great-grandmother escaped to Shanghai and lived there for another 10 years before coming over and living in New York City. She still remembers seeing Hitler in person when she was just 6 years old. I would love to write her story one day.

10.) As a Christian I know I am NOT perfect, I mess up all the time. The point is that we are going to mess up whether we want to or not, whether we are trying to or not. But we’re forgiven. That is beautiful to me. My relationship with God is the most important thing in my life. I totally 100% respect everyone and their beliefs. It’s just a huge part of me and therefore feel I should share it with you. So, thank you for listening!

Okay I am passing this on to Ashley, Ryan, Lindsey, Tina, Angela, Whit, and Gina. Some of my favorite bloggers!

Hope you all have a great afternoon/evening!

Ciao friends!
