Happy Friday

Hello, blog world... can you believe its November? Also known as my birthday month! Technically my birthday isn't for two more weeks but, boy am I excited! This weekend we have some fun plans including trying out a new Italian restaurant called Rione XIII which is inspired by Trastevere {a district in Rome that we visited during our July trip, photos below}. We are meeting up with our friends Roen and Felicia of 50 Shades of Delicious to discuss their recent Italy trip! It should be a blast. 

On our way to dinner in Rome, our taxi driver rolled the R for the longest time a la Tras-tay-verrrrrray ... but we just watched a Rick Steve's special on Rome and he called it Tras-tiv-erie, so I have no clue how to pronounce it.

Then, this weekend we will also get to spend some time with our new niece - we havent seen her in a couple weeks, so we are pretty excited to see how she has grown. It seems like she looks different in every single picture I see lately. I guess that's how it goes for probably the next 6 months. Then she will start looking like what she is going to look like for real. Does that make sense?

Have a Happy Weekend!
