I can't actually believe this is happening.

For THE longest time, I vowed that I would never make a blog. I always thought they were catty, but then I met Maggie here in Italy. Maggie has a blog to keep in touch with her family while she's over here. Mainly she puts gorgeous pictures of the new foods she makes and puts the recipes up as well. That's where I got the idea for this blog. I plan on random updates of my time here, some pictures, and of course my recipes. I'm trying new things everyday, and I'm trying to help Katie out with some easy stay-at-home things to make. I hope to keep this thing going for a while, but like so many of the journals I've attempted, I don't see that happening, but here goes. :)

Now, just a little back info on my new friends in case they are mentioned.
First of all, you have Linsday. She was the first girl I met and actually spent time with here. She's a little crazy (or a lot, but its all good) and I love her. Bing works with her husband and that is how we met.
Then come in Katie and Maggie. We met at an event at the base called Heartlink, which was a get-together for spouses that are new to the Air Force way of life. Both Katie and Maggie have been associated with the military for a while now. Katie's husband, Matt, has been in the Air Force (twice now) for a while.. And Jake, Maggie's hubby, has been in for 7 years. However, they just got married so Maggie is new to the spouse thing just like me. Katie and I arrived around the same time, and I think we both went to find friends. Katie also has the most adorable little girl named Kylie. She's almost 6 months old, and absolutely wonderful.
Finally we come to Betsy, the newest addition to our little group. She lives across the street from Katie and has a really cute puppy named Thor (you know how I am with puppies.. By the way, Katie and Matt have a lab named Moby and he's the coolest dog over here because he's HUGE).
We fit nicely together because we all read like crazies. Maggie and I go shopping a lot, we've started going to the gym, and recently brought Lindsay and Betsy into the gym routines.

So these are the people you are likely to hear about most in my jabberings. Enjoy! :)
