December 16

December 16 is the day... our Immigration rep in Italy will meet with the local government on our work permit. Keep your fingers crossed for us! Everything hinges on the work permit. Once we have that we are pretty much home free as I understand it... we can apply for the work visa, go on our house-hunting trip, put the deposit down on Brandon's school.

That is not very far away! Between Thanksgiving and getting ready for our Colorado trip for the holidays, it will come quickly.

Photos from Italy

I'm back after two weeks working in Italy! It was a great trip, even though I worked pretty much the whole time, sprained my ankle and backed the rental car into a pole (ok, it was a LOW pole, I couldn't see it). I spent Saturday at Lake Como (1 hour from Milan) and Sunday in Bergamo (30 minutes from Milan).

I visited two different schools for Brandon and just loved the International School located in Monza. It's a nice small school, and was a warm, friendly, happy place. That means we'll be living somewhere around Monza, which is a bit northeast of Milan.
