Baby Fever

Oh HAIL no.. don’t you dare go and get excited that I’m possibly impregnated…  no no NO.  Marko and I are in agreement that babies would cramp our style these days.  So we are opting out of the queen size bed, and sleeping in the bunk beds in our hotel room.

Mark and I HAVE to get off this base. EVERYONE here has at LEAST one baby and AT LEAST another on the way. Here is how "meeting someone" goes:

Mark: "Hi! I'm Mark! This is my wife, Tiffany!"
Potential friend: "Hi! I'm (___) and this is my wife, (____). Do you have any kids?"
Mark: "Nope."
... Potential friend: "Are you trying?"
Mark: "Nope."
Potential friend: "Oh."
....long, awkward silence....
Mark: "Okay, well... talk to you later..."

Too much fertility/baby fever around here for us to be comfortable....

People here say “it’s in the water…even if you aren’t trying, you will get pregnant.”  Let me be clear.  NOPE.  And (just to be safe) we aren’t drinking water…  We are going to stick to wine.   

 

Ciao!

Villa Shopping!

Marko and I saw the most AMAZING houses today!  We even found one that we FELL IN LOVE WITH!  It is two bedroom, two bath and has the most breathtaking views!  It comes with a pool, all brand new items, full alarm system, a projector tv screen by the pool, a cabana, a BBQ grill and fridge, a balcony, Bose surround sound outside and inside… need I go on?  …Okay, I will… 

It is IN OUR BUDGET and includes a weekly visit from a gardener and pool guy. 

So tomorrow we are going to the Housing Authority to put a hold on the house.  This means that no one will be able to rent the house over the weekend and will give us time to think about it.  This is (of course) if no one has already rented this absolutely amazing piece of property. We are going to try to have our realtors take us there this weekend just to look at it once more and to imagine the commute to work. 

Here are a couple of pictures from our dream home. 

I will keep you updated!!!!    Plan your visits!  We will be in Italy for at least three years!!!

 

Ciao!

Here

Let the games begin.  Marko and I landed about 3 hours ago.  My co workers gave us a very nice care package, complete with a bottle of wine and a teddy bear!  Mark is working on setting up the Magic Jack so that we will have a United States landline and I am working on unpacking.  We are SO EXCITED for our new adventure!  Our hotel room has a kitchen, living room, bathroom, and bedroom (complete with a set of bunk beds and a queen size bed!  haha!)

This is going to be fun.   

Ciao!
