Roma Day {4} Wednesday morning audience.

This was probably the number one highlight of our time in Roma. We were able to attened the Wednesday morning audience with the Pope! Pope Frances is totally and completely the peoples Pope. He is so pernable down to earth and loving! It was incredible to experience this first hand! 

Freezing our buns off while waiting for Pope Frances to arrive!

I definitely didn't dress warm enough that morning! It was so worth it though!

I could feel my chest well with joy being in is presence! It is a moment I will never forget!

The rest of our day was spent looking at many more Churches and walking through beautiful gardens! 

More pastries! 

This was the cutest little pastry shop under a building. You went right down the stairs from the sidewalk!

I hope that you are all having a wonderful week!

Ciao,

Photo Friday

Happy Friday!

I am linking up with Beca @ Sunshine to the Square Inch for Photography Friday! The photo topic for this week and last are something that you are thankful for and a food photo. I chose these two pictures from my trip to Europe. I am so so so grateful for the time I was able to spend in Rome and Ireland! They are memories and adventures I treasure. So here are two sneak peak photos from my trip! I am working on picking the best ones and editing some of them! It's a slow process, I've never done editing before! But some pictures need it because the sun was so high and bright at times that the pictures are washed out! I was happy for a sunny trip though:)

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Ciao,

Grateful Friday

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'M GOING TO ROME AND IRELAND!!!!!!!!!! that's what's going through my head over and over and over!!! I better start believing it's going to happen because before I know it I'm going to be on a plane! I am not quite sure how I plan on focusing at work today....? It's not going to be easy!

Growing up whenever I saw a plane in the sky I would start day dreaming. I wondered where they were going, was it somewhere fun? out of the country? some crazy adventure? a business trip? How awesome it would be to be in that plane, going somewhere, anywhere, going on an adventure! I can't believe that I finally get to make that happen! AMAZING!

~ For long slow mornings when I can sip my coffee and read before I have to head into work. If only they came more often!

~ For my strong Faith in God that I know He will bring me through anything. Knowing that He has the master plan, becuase I seriously sometimes don't understand it! It's a good thing somebody does!

~ For my sisters:) I love them to pieces and couldn't live my life without them! It's so nice to have sisters because well I love my brothers but sometimes it's nice not to be teased all of the time!

~ For my brothers, and their teasing! haha I would be a woose without them')

  ~ My parents who gave me life and a good strong foundation to grow from!

~ My many gifts and talents that God has given me. I pray that I use them to do only good in this world, and that I USE them and never take them for granted.

~ For figure skating. That'a all I LOVE it! 

Ciao XO
