It's Official

Well like the title implies my plans for the rest of 2007 are official. I have accepted my family's offer to come back to Italy in September and stay through December. This evening I bought my plane ticket and will be leaving Houston on the 29th of August and will come back home on December 16th. I have also taken a job as an assistant to the designer (all you "Office" fans out there) for MAG Designs here in Torino. The firm specializes in residential design and most clients are from London. So there may be a small chance I will go to London for business meetings. During the mornings I will work as a designer and at night as an au pair. I look at it like a super hero job....Have a "real" job in the day and fight crime at night :-) I am really excited about getting the opportunity to do design in Italy and come back to this amazing family. I will admit that I know it will be challenging but I feel this is where God wants me to be. Throughout this trip and the months to come I often recite my favorite memory verse "I am holding you by your right hand-I, the Lord your God. And I say to you, "Do not be afraid. I am here to help you..." Isaiah 41:13.

For the next couple of days I will be staying with my friend Christiana, who lives above us, and may not have internet access. But I will try and post if I am around the internet. I love and miss you all and can't wait to see you in August!!
