Evviva!

My older sister and I recently decided she wanted to go to Italy, so of course I'm going to tag along to tour-goude/translate/accompany!  Yeah!  It has been a really, really long time since I've been there--four years to be exact.  I'm trying to plan an itinerary for Carly and myself, and so I'd like to hear what your favorite things to do in Rome, Florence, and Venice were.  We'll be in country about 8 days.

Thanks!

New Year, New Job

My last post was slightly premature, because the day after I wrote it, I got a job offer!  Woohoo!  I will be moving to Houston (oh, how I love humidity an heat...but really, I like Texas: Exhibit A and Exhibit B) and I will be an actuary.  I start May 3, so I have some time to plan (and overplan) my move, my new job, and my new recreational activities--because hiking, climbing, and skiing just probably won't happen in a state that flat.  Here's where I need help: I don't know a SOUL in Houston.  Do you, dear readers, have friends who reside in our nation's fourth largest city with whom I could chat?  I'd prefer singles who still live there that could tell me what the social scene is like and would have good tips on which areas of town are better for those with my demographic (read: single female LDS professional working downtown).  Thanks!

Also, this means my blog will no longer be going private, and I have thus deleted the comments containing email addresses because I don't want my email floating around the internet, so I assume you feel the same way.  Thanks all who requested invites!
