ah...i finally don't have to wake up at 5am everyday. to celebrate (and to enjoy a nice long three-day weekend), we watched movies and we ate. a lot! i made my first souffle and we had lots of fun making italian food (lasagna was made this weekend an the pizza was made a few weeks ago).
we must have gained 5 pounds this weekend. but that's okay. all the italian food was worth it. why italian food? because... WE'RE GOING TO ITALY!!! that's right! to celebrate our graduations (mine on 5/2, eugene's on 5/23), we'll be taking a nice long 10-day getaway to rome. we booked a great deal through american express and i just cannot wait! we'll write more about it when we get there, but to prepare ourselves, we're eating tons of italian food, i'm learning to drink some more wine (apparently, wine's cheaper than water over there), we're reading all about rome travles (rick steve's rome book is becoming quite handy), and we're learning helpful italian phrases (thanks pattie and manu!). can't wait!!!
