Almost Two Months in Italy!

So, it's been almost two months since we've been in Italy and getting settled in is a slow process. We still haven't received our stuff from Fontana like all our wedding gifts, our computer, the big screen, and most of my clothes and nick knacks. I can't wait to get that stuff. I want my new pots and pans and dishes and well...everything. Tee Hee!

One thing that I'm really missing from our stuff that's on its way is my I Love Lucy DVD's! I forgot to take a season with me and they were all packed. :( Luckily I found an old DVD today of the first season that I took to Iraq with me. It was a little scratched but it's working and I'm watching it right now. YAY ME! I was going through Lucy withdraw.

Todd's doing very well with his job, he's the NCOIC (Non-Commissioned Officer In Charge) of News. However, some of the people that are suppose to be in his section are deployed so he is the only one. I guess you could say Todd is "An Air Force of One." He's in charge of himself. He's been pretty busy lately with lots of stories back to back.

Lots of Love,

Karina & Todd

PS: I am going to send out Thank You notes as soon as I can!

Here is a pic of us on our Honeymoon with a lovely Volcano stuff in the background.

It's been a MONTH!!

Hi everyone,

It's July 3rd here and this is going to be a short blog.

Yesterday it's been a month since we've been here. YAY! Still not quite settled in, still no internet, and still awaiting the rest of our stuff but we are getting there.

Luckily Todd has a former Supervisor of his that has helped us out a lot. Tracie and her husband Ken are on their way out and they gave us a bunch of stuff...fans, irons, hair dryer, Christmas lights, and lots of other plugs and things that we need here. They took us out to eat a couple weeks ago too. That's where I had the yummy Carbanara. Mmmmm. Bottom line...they ROCK!! I wish they were staying so we could hang out more.

The finance office messed up Todd's pay and didn't give us any of our new entitlements...so not what we needed. We are suppose to get a lot more moolah living here and instead we got less than what we were getting before. It's suppose to be fixed on the 15th. For those of you who don't know, in the military you get paid on the 1st and the 15th of each month. I can't wait for the 15th!

Well we have a BBQ today with Todd's work so that will be fun. I have to go get some cheese for the cheeseburgers so I better get going.

Talk to you all soon!


Lots of Love!!

Karina (& Todd)
