Here's a run-down of the last month:
Kayaking on Lake Union/watching sea planes take off and land.
Fabio took finals and finished classes for the summer.
I finished the school year with a bang. Thursday (June 17) was our last day. This time last week I was thinking it would be the longest week of my life with a showcase of student work for parents on Tuesday, portfolios still had to be finished, my room had to be cleaned out and my stuff moved to my new room. Now it's all over, and I can't believe I don't have to go in to work tomorrow! Weird. I never get used to this feeling.
We have been watching some World Cup soccer, and miracles happen people. I'm actually starting to LIKE watching soccer! Finally! After almost 4 years with Fabio, I'm starting to understand and appreciate the game. I'm also starting to know some of the players. Forza Italia!!!
We walked the 6 mile path around Lake Union in the pouring rain.
Our local gym in Magnolia closed much to my dismay. However, much to my delight, they transferred our memberships to the new LA Fitness in Ballard and it ROCKS! Brand new equipment, a myriad of classes, TVs on every machine, 5 star bathrooms. I like working out now.
Fabio's business continues to boom and I have been able to help him on many occasions. I'm now a full-time employee of ALF (Ambrosio Law Firm).
Gelateria D'Ambrosio has opened in Ballard and we're addicted. We're talking authentic gelato just a few miles from our house. Amazing. I have no words for how delectable it is. It was opened last month by an acquaintance of Fabio's. He's from Abruzzo and a really great guy and an even better gelato maker!!!
I'm not really sure how, but this photo ended up on yelp.com. I guess our friend, Alesandro, took it and posted it. You can see me (very scary looking) and Alesandro's son, Vincenzo (Vincenzino as we like to call him), through the glass.
If the weather actually starts to resemble something summerish, this looks like it could shape up to be a great summer!
