New beginnings

Life has been crazy lately, blah, blah, blah.. there’s always an excuse for not blogging, but really for me it’s just an inspiration issue. If I don’t feel inspired, I don’t write. So take from that what you will about my last few months.

Anyways, big news!  You may want to sit down, ya’ll. Paolo and I are finally tying the knot! Annnnnddd, Ale and I are moving to Germany with him, where he is starting a new job! So yes, big changes; lots going on right now. Paolo is coming here next week and we are having a civil ceremony, then getting ready for the move, which will be September 17. We will be having a formal ceremony and reception May 3, we just didn’t have time to plan and get everyone here in September. It’s a bit non-traditional, but there’s not been much traditional about our relationship so far!

There is so much to do to get ready for this move, and for dealing with the legalities of marrying a foreigner, as well as getting my permit to stay in Germany. It’s a bit overwhelming, really. I turned in my two weeks notice for work last Friday, and was immediately dismissed, which really upset me for a couple days. But now, I’m honestly (mostly) glad because I really have other things to focus on. On top of everything else, Alessandro is having his tonsils and adenoids removed, as well as tubes put in, tomorrow. We had a pre-op visit yesterday, and it’s going to be a bit more intense than I originally thought, so I’m glad I’ll be here with him during his recovery (so is my mom).

So there’s a brief look into my life right now; prayers would be much appreciated, both for Alessandro and for our next few weeks to go smoothly. The good news for my blog is that I’m about to be an immigrant again, which usually gives me more time, as well as more inspiration. Stay tuned!

Ciao for now,

Kathleen
