Farewells, Hellos, Adventures, Celebrations, and Emotions

I will be captain obvious and say that much much time has passed since I made my presence here. And as you all my assume much much has happened since my last post.
Now I have to write a novel, but I won't. I will paraphrase, or try to at least, and next time, I won't let a lifetime pass by between each post.
So here goes. I apologize in advance.
Marco Finally comes to Baltimore.  I don't even need to explain our happiness, Luca was off the wall. literally.
Marco, Luca and I leave for a week long road trip to New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado. Ending in Santa Fe for a fairytale wedding.
We flew in and out of Albuquerque and rented a car for a week.
the trip was amazing, for all three of us, it was needed it was an eye opener, it was perfect.
We come back to Bmore, basically say our goodbyes (dinner with these friends here, dinner with those friends there) and hugs and tears all around.
We arrive back in Italy (side note... Luca and I have been away for almost 4 months...) and settle back in the grove of Italian Life. It's good.
Luca starts preschool after a week. Smooth. He likes it, we all have a good feeling about it. He did though twice want to go, but wanted me to stay. Tears were involved but passed quick by legos and blocks.
He also is doing more than fine with the language. He only speaks english now, but only after a week at school he already is making  HUGE progress.
My next blog, will be an update on Luca and only Luca.
I just turned 30 and its weird.
its good just weird. I mean I'm 30! I remember thinking that 30 was basically 50. Now I realize what a brat I was.
Marco organized a sweet celebration with friends and on my actual birthday took me out on the lagoon to fish and cake.
Im not complaining.
On that note, I give myself a D- on this post and will make it up to you all!
