Finalmente Xavier ha avuto una settimana di ferie!!!!!E questo vuol dire che anche io ho avuto un po' di ferie!! Eh sì perchè quando Xavier è a casa mi può dare una mano con Elodie e io posso fare più cose!!!!! =) E' stata una bella settimana e non è passata troppo velocemente come invece succede di solito...!! Abbiamo fatto tante cose! Io ho l'abitudine di fare le liste per ricordarmi tutto quello che c'è da fare (anche se a Xavier non piacciono le liste!)Così lunedì 9 febbraio la mattina siamo stati a casa poi nel pomeriggio siamo andati a pagare l'assicurazione della macchina che rispetto all'anno scorso è aumentata di parecchio a causa di un piccolo tamponamento di Xavier nel quale l'altra parte ne ha approfittato alquanto! Siccome eravamo in centro a Forlì ne abbiamo approfittato per fare un giro con Elodie. Siamo andati a comprare dei libri (abbiamo degli sconti in una libreria), passati dal negozio dei miei, abbiamo preso una pizza al taglio e poi con la macchina siamo andati al Toys Center a comprare il lettino da viaggio per Elodie. Elodie si sta sempre più rendendo conto di quando le piaccia quel negozio!!! Tornati a casa ho dato una pulita alla casa e fatta una piccola serata famigliare e Elodie a nanna, come al solito Xavier e io ci siamo guardati un episodio di Stargate Atlantis... (siamo partiti da SG1 ci siamo visti tutte le stagione e adesso siamo alla fine della terza stagione di Atlantis... Xavier mi ha convertito a Stargate!)
Martedì Elodie doveva avere il vaccino, ma alla fine è stato rimandato... ma forse è stato meglio così perchè in questo modo ho avuto il tempo di finire di pulire e Xavier di fare da mangiare (è troppo bravo a cucinare e poi gli piace!): avevamo i missionari a pranzo! E come al solito quando cucina Xavier è tutto mooolto buono! Nel pomeriggio abbiamo fatto vedere la casa a Dovadola ad un collega di lavoro di Xavier. E' venuto con noi in macchina. La luce in casa nostra non si può usare perchè quando si accende l'interruttore generale fa un gran rumore... perfortuna ci è successo la settimana scorsa quando eravamo lì per dare una pulita all'appartamento! Un'altra cosa da riparare... Comunque gli è piaciuta molto, adesso ci deve pensare su e poi ci farà sapere... speriamo bene, anche se per il momento questa casa è stata abbastanza sfortunata! Siamo anche passati all'Orso (un negozio di mobili) dove avevamo visto una cameretta per Elodie e futuri... che ci piaceva. Ci siamo fatti fare un preventivo... circa 2000 euro... Ma poi guardando su Diogene (un giornale di annunci locale) abbiamo trovato che qualcuno vendeva una cameretta con letto a ponte e scalini con cassetti... ho telefonato e questa signora abita a neanche 5 minuti a piedi a da casa nostra. Ci siamo messi d'accordo per andarla a vedere (questo mercoledì) e ci siamo andati dopo aver portato Elodie a fare il vaccino (Morbillo, rosolia, parotite). Ha pianto come al solito, ma in generale è stata brava e poi qui a Forlimpopoli alla fine hanno le caramelle, quindi era più che contenta, appena le ha viste ha fatto "uuuuuuhhh!!!" Ma tornando alla cameretta, è in buono stato e molto carina e perfetta per le nostre misure. In più ci darà coperte, lenzuola, altre mensole, lucine varie libreria scrivania... tutto a 500 euro!! Questo perchè ha due figlie di 10 e 11 anni e vuole rifare loro le camere separate così si libera di tutto! E' proprio una bella occasione per noi! o meglio dire una benedizione! Si trovano cose interessanti sui giornali!!!! La cameretta la prenderemo a marzo. Sarà utile anche per quest'estate quando verrà la famiglia di Xavier che così avrà anche un letto dove dormire =)
GIOVEDì 12 FEBBRAIO era un giorno speciale perchè il compleanno della mia cara amica Krystal!!!!!!!! Peccato che abitiamo così lontane......... ma le voglio tanto bene comunque!!! E proprio in quel giorno siamo partiti per il Veneto!!! Siamo andati a Cittadella da Elena e Vittorio. All'inizio non trovavamo la loro casa anche se ci eravamo passati davanti diverse volte... Comunque hanno una bella casa e ci siamo trovati davvero bene da loro! Quando siamo partiti mi è dispiaciuto tanto, sai quando ci si trova bene in un posto non si vorrebbe più andare via! Grazie ancora Elena e Vittorio per l'ospitalità e speriamo di poter fare una cosa simile in un futuro non troppo lontano!! Giovedì siamo andati con Elena e Vittorio a vedere Bassano del Grappa... faceva un freddo assurdo, più che altro era il gran vento gelido! Mi sono congelata, ma è stato bello anche se era già buio quando siamo arrivati!
Elodie & Pixi il gatto di Vittorio e Elena; al gatto fa paura Elodie! Elodie & Pixi Vittorio and Elena's cat, he's afraid of her!
Xavier finally had a week off from work !!!!! And that means that I had some vacations too! That's because when Xavier is at home he helps me out with Elodie and I can do more things !!!!! =) It has been a good week and did not pass too quickly as it usually happens ...!! We have done so many things! I have the habit of making lists to remind me everything I need to do (even if Xavier does not like lists!) So Monday February 9th, in the morning, we were at home then in the afternoon we went to pay car insurance that compared to last year has increased quite a bit due to a small pile of Xavier, in which the other party has taken advantage unfairily! Since we were downtown in Forlì we had the chance to walk a little with Elodie. We bought some books (we have discounts in a library), we stopped by my parents' shop, we had a piece of pizza and then with the car we went to the "Toys Center" to buy a travel cot for Elodie. Elodie is increasingly becoming aware of how much she likes that store! Back home I cleaned the house we had a short family home evening and put Elodie in be. As usual, Xavier and I've watched an episode of Stargate Atlantis ... (we started from SG1, we have seen all the seasons and now we are at the end of the third season of Atlantis ... Xavier has converted me to Stargate!)On Tuesday Elodie had to have the vaccine, but it was postponed ... perhaps it was better this way because I had time to finish cleaning and Xavier to make something to eat (he's soo good at cooking and he likes to do it!): the missionaries came for lunch! And as usual when Xavier cooks everything is sooooo good! In the afternoon we showed our house in Dovadola to a work colleague of Xavier. He with us in the car. The light in our house can not be used because when you turn them on the general switch makes a great noise... we were lucky it happened last week while we were there to clean the apartment! Another thing to fix ... However, he liked the house very much, he needs to think about it a little more and then he will let us know... hopefully everything will work out good, although until now this house has been unlucky! We also went to "Orso" (a furniture shop) where we saw a bedroom for Elodie (and future kids...) we liked. The estimated money for this room is about 2000 euros... But then, looking at Diogene (a local newspaper ad), we found that someone was selling a bedroom with a bunk bed and stairs with drawers ... I called and this lady lives not even 5 minutes walking from our house. We made an appointment to go and see this "bedroom"(on Wednesday). We went after Elodie had her vaccine (measles, rubella, mumps). She cried as usual, but in general she was pretty good; here in Forlimpopoli after the shots they give sweets, so she was more than happy, as soon as she saw the candies she said:"uuuuuuhhh!" But talking again about the bedroom, it is in good condition and very cute and perfect for our measures. In addition she will give us blankets, bed sheets, other shelves, little kid lights a library and a desk ... All for 500 euro! This is because she has two daughters one of 10 and the other one of 11 years old and she wants to redo their rooms so she get rid of all! It's a greatrtunity for us! O better to say a blessing! You can find interesting things in the newspapers! We'll take the room in March. It will be useful also for this summer when Xavier's family will come to visit us, so that they will have a bed where to sleep =) Also, on Wednesday, we went to the grocery store and Xavier had a meeting at the church I left him there and went home with Elodie but I did a little mess... right in front of the house, with my rearview mirror I took in the one of the car of the owner of the house and broke it ... He was out there ... he wasn't angry ... But it was not happyat all... but it is a kind person ... I was lucky that it was him, but what a shame! He will tell us how much we have to pay for that........
Thursday, February 12th was a special day it was the birthday of my dear friend Krystal !!!!!!!! So bad that we live so far away ......... but I love her soooo much anyway! On that day we left for the italian region called Veneto! We went to Cittadella by Elena and Vittorio. We couldn't find their house, but then when we found it, we realized we passed in front of it a least 3 times... Anyway, they have a nice house and we had a really good time with them! I was sad to leave on saturday, you know when you are good in a place you would not go away! Thank you Elena and Vittorio for the hospitality and we hope to do something similar in a not too far future! Thursday we went with Elena and Vittorio to see Bassano del Grappa ... it was freezing cold, especially the wind! I was frozen, but it was beautiful even if it was already dark when we arrived! In the evening we ate at home a super good dinner! Just thinking of it makes me hungry again! Friday morning we went (only Xavier, Elodie and me) in Vicenza, where we met with Nancy and Bob that they took us to the american base where we bought several clothes and some american food. I was very happy I found something for me too, lately has become quite difficult to find clothes that fit me well. At the end we were on a hurry because Nancy and Bob had to go to Aviano, but we managed to do everything and eat at Taco Bells ... every time I go to the base it's like to go back in time and it reminds me a lot of my mission .... which I miss a lot! We also brought something to Elena and Vittorio to thank them of everything. We had to go to Aviano as well but then we saw that we would have spent more time traveling than anything else so we decided to go back to Cittadella (we wanted to visit the cousin of my mother Marisa, but she was not home....). In the late afternoon we went out: they showed us Cittadella (always in the dark!). We were lucky because despite the great cold, on Friday in Forlì it snowed while where we were, we had always a wonderful weather! That evening I had a big headache so I went to bed early. The whole we were at their house, Xavier and Vittorio exchanged and copied a lot of movies! On Saturday morning Vittorio had to work. We began to prepare everything to leave, but it was sooo sad, I had such a great time there! For lunch, we waited for Vittorio to come home; after a few crazy pictures and greetings we went to Thiene where we met with Martina (my GinaQ) and her boyfriend. Finally we managed to meet all together! Although Martina until the day before was sick... After the exchange of necklaces for our mothers, we went to the park in front of the house of Rosanna (the cousin of our mothers), where I went a lot of times when I was little and even with Xavier when we were still young ( and thin =)) Well, indeed Xavier nad I renamed that park as: "Scarabellopark" (it is a long story...). Elodie had lots of fun going inside a "train" (to Martina is THE train!), on the swing, on the slide and the thing that I do not know how it's called that goes up and down with one person on one side and the other on the other side... We had fun too! Then we went to see downtown Thiene ... I think I have never been there before, it's cute! We tried to find a place to stop to take something to drink but being on a saturday and Valentine's Day, there were a lot of people everywhere. Finally we stopped in a place close to the parking lot where we had our cars: it was warm inside!! I had a hot chocolate! Really good! Elodie drunk the hot chocolate of dad =) We chatted a little bit but then it came the time to leave; after taking a picture together and all the greetings, we left to go home. Elodie didn't sleep at all! We just stopped to get something to eat for Elodie. The trip was nice, we also stopped at my parents home to give them the things we had for them and we went home, where we hade a nice surprise: the heater did not work and it was freezing cold! We have not even been able to take a shower, it was soooo cold!! We slept with lots of blankets and clothes ... like a little adventure =) Luckily this morning before going to church, Xavier called the technical support who helped us to solve the problem! We had Arielino for lunch (my mother had to stay with my grandfather and my father was in Milan for a training) and the house was already much warmer! At the church Nancy gave us the things we ordered at Deseret Book! We have already watched the movie / documentary on the life of pres. Hinckley... very very beautiful! On Sunday Elodie go to the nursery! Her teacher is Tamara, who says that Elodie is very good! She stays in the nursery almost without complaining she's not alone there is also Giulia (she one year older than Elodie), the granddaughter of Cristina Gutu! Unfortunately, as usual, holidays have an end .... I can't wait for the next one!!!!!!
