From October 2005 to October 2006 I lived in Italy. Every week I would send an email to my friends back in Canada telling them about what was happening in Modena with my life. I thought it would be interesting to write a blog for the next year and include those emails to see where I was at then compared to now. Here's hoping that you think it is interesting too!
We are going to have to play a bit of catch-up here, so for the next few days I'll post lots of the emails to get us up to date!
Enjoy!
Week 0-Before I go
September 16, 2005
With much excitement and some sadness I am leaving Canada and moving to Italy for the next year or so. My Dad is there living with my Nonna (Grandma) who had surgery earlier this month, I am going to go there and help him care for her. While I am there I am going to try to teach English and just enjoy the "homeland". I am sad to say that I am quitting my job at UAC and my last day will be September 30th. My flight leaves on October 2nd at 9:30pm. I have great peace about the decision and look forward to the adventure that lies ahead. Your prayers and thoughts will be much appreciated as I get all the details together in the next two weeks. As far as I know right now this will be the email address that you we can keep in touch with, if there are any changes I will let you know.Much love and many blessings or should I say ciao, Julia
