A special evening...

I know, I guess I am just a bit behind when it comes to keeping y’all updated on our CRAZY lives. In fact, that word pretty much describes what has been going on with the Ferrigno’s lately. Yet somehow, Michael and I are managing to survive and have fun while doing it. Seriously, the strength, momentum, and grace God gives us daily have been amazing!

This past weekend we celebrated my 32nd birthday, that is right, 32! Personally, I do not think I look a day over 23…I am chalking that one up to my mother’s great Swedish genes. Thanks mom!

We definitely celebrated Italian style in upper northwest DC at a place called Maggianos with a few great friends. For those of you who do not live here, that’s considered the posh area. The shopping is amazing which Michael, I mean myself, could not be more excited about.

Fortunately, for me, I do not share this birthday alone. I have a beautiful twin sis paving the way two whole minutes ahead of me. I was sad we were not together but am so thankful to have her in my life. I love you girl!

Would you just look at this adorable group of little ones! I'd say they're having the time of their lives!!

In case y'all are wondering, Michael and I are on the 2-year plan. =) We're enjoying being an uncle and auntie for the time being. With 10, and number 11 on the way, that should keep us busy.

HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY!!!

This is a shout out to the younger brother who's turning the BIG 30 tomorrow, June 22nd. Man, I'm feeling slightly old at this moment. Well, you know what they're saying, 30's the new 20.

I hear you'll be on the road trip of a lifetime to Portland tomorrow but enjoy your special day to the fullest, McDonald's, rest stops and all.

So, here are a few words of advice from your sis, 30's are great and you're only as old as you feel. I know, I had to reach deep to come up with that one. =)

Love you!

A Day In Our Lives

What can I say, God is incredible! Look how much fun we're having in our engagement photo. No, I promise, we were not posing at this particular moment, in fact I think I was about ready to fall off his lap, for goodness sakes, it looks as though I have a double chin and Michael is laughing at me. That's a way to start off a relationship, just kidding.

I have a tendency to gravitate towards the deeper side when writing but I will try to keep this balanced, light hearted and funny as well.

With living so far from our families I thought this would be a great way to keep family and friends updated on our lives here in the thriving DC/Metropolitan area.

Speaking of update, we recently moved this past weekend. It was a fairly easy move overall but I'm more then ready not to be living out of cardboard boxes any longer. Dropping a oversized box on your big toe while trying to find something to wear to work in the morning is not my ideal setting of starting a morning out with glee. All in all life with Mike has definately been a memory maker for the both of us.

In case you want to have this on file, our new address is: 4623 Seminary Road, Apt. #303, Alexandria, VA 22304.

You may also get an occasional Italian word here or there, this is because since I could remember I've had this facination with Italy, afterall, who doesn't! Anyway, as you all know I was blessed to marry an American-Italian man so I'm trying to embrace every part of it.

Ciao (goodbye)
