If she wants to rock, she rocks, if she wants to ROME, she ROMES...

(sorry not a lot of caps b\c it's hard on this computer)So...for those of you who don't know by now my plans changed in paris and i decided to be irresponsibly responsible for myself and not come back to america! yes, i'm living off my severance pay for 3 months and we'll see how long that last me! i will be heading back to corfu to work at the Pink Palace with Haley. hopefully, this is a good idea! ha! there are many reasons for this decision:i only get one life, why not?;i love corfu and can't wait to spend a summer there even if it is when i'm working; i have the rest of my life to work 8-5 and be responsible. i could probably list 10 more but i'll spare ya'll. but i do know for sure that i'm looking forward to working some and then swimming in the ionian sea, kayaking among the cliffs (breathtaking, i tell you) and soaking up some sun when my schedule allows it. i hope i'm not dreaming too big here! (sometimes i do agree it sounds too good but i keep praying!)

So for now...i'm in rome...i arrived by myself with no hotel or knowing no one here. i met a guy at the airport from arkansas, random! and we helped each other get to the center of rome, we were both pretty lost people! But just one of the many ways God has kept his hand in my journey! i must admit, i was a lil timid at first and eating dinner wasn't fun but i've learned to handle the ropes and figured Rome out! it's a great city, not sure it's my favorite (sorry for those that it is) but it's definitely been great. And if you've read Eat,Pray, Love then you can appreciate italian life pretty well! Gelatios mutlipe times a day can't be beat! lots and lots of history...my favorite history today was the prison where the apostle peter and paul were held before their killings. Truly moving place. And the Trevi fountain is my favorite too! i'm aobut to head to dinner nearby so i can see it lit up at night. Then tomorow it's off to Brindsi,Italy via train for 5hrs (hop0efully not too fast so i can see the countryside) and then at 9pm i get on a boat for a lovely 12hr boat ride to Corfu!!! And then to work! But i can tell you i'd rather work all day there then work in bham! haha! (at least i hope so!)

i have so, so many stories i still have yet to post but once i'm in corfu maybe i'll have time to write them!!! i must admit for all those who are super jealous...i am very sad about all the things i will be missing back home...like weddings, showers, summer events, beach trips, lake trips,etc....but the reality is i have had years of these things so i need to give this a try just once and then next summer hopefully i'll still have some friends around who'll want\be able to do all those fun things again another summer! please all keep me in your prayers that i've made a good decision and that God will continue to do his will in my crazy summer plans! hope i'm not being too selfish! haha! LOVE YOU ALL AND MISS YOU MORE THAN YOU KNOW!!!!
(Sorry i promise pictures as soon as possible believe me i'm dying to post them all!)
