Photos from the heart

I know I can't share with y'all ALL of the pictures, so I thought I would give you some of the highlights of the trip...I hope y'all enjoy!

Me and my peeps at our Thanksgiving dinner. Which was a BLAST! (btw) We had a great turn out of students and it was so fun talking to all of them and watching their expressions as they tried all the different American food on the table.

This has to be one of my favorite Thanksgivings.

(from back left: Nando, Nico, Nicole, Silvio, Emilio; us four in the front starting with Marcello in the pink shirt, Cecilia, me, and Daniela)

Me and Nicole, the "Diva of Florence"! I was blessed to spend a year working along side her in Florence, during that time she became more than just a friend, she became a true confidante, a true cherished sister, and I am truly blessed to have her in my life! It was great to see her (she has been working with Agape Firenze for over 4 yrs now) and spend time together. Nicole is an amazing woman of God and a treasured friend that I will forever hold dear in my heart.


Me with Ilaria and Matteo - two of my close friends in Florence. It was SO great to see them and to spend time with them while I was there. I just wish it was longer...Ilaria was with Nicole at the Airport when my flight arrived. Oh how my heart just leaped for joy when I saw them both!


And with my sweet friend, Michelle, who went with me on this trip! She was one of the first people I met when I first moved to Houston. What a blessing it was to have her here with me!!

So, as you can see it was a great trip! Great food, great scenery, and most importantly - the company of great friends!!!
