T-2 days!!

Ok, so it has been a LONG time since I have written an entry-life has just been an exciting whirlwind. Between juggling my job, doing some side designing work (yay!) and oh yeah-planning a trip to Europe-it's been busy!

On Wednesday-yes, as in 2 days!-Jon and I will be jet-setting off to Paris for two and a half days, then hopping on a plane and going to Italy for six and a half days. We are totally excited, but certainly nervous. As I keep telling people-I don't consider myself to be a very "worldly" person, so this should be an experience. One I won't soon forget, I am sure.

In Paris, we are hoping to see the traditional tourist attractions-the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Arc de Triomphe, etc. We have also reserved a bike tour to see the city from a different perspective.

In Italy, we will be spending majority of our time in Rome. The primary reason we are travelling to Europe is that Elizabeth, my fabulous sister-in-law, is currently studying abroad in Rome. Yay-perfect reason to go. We haven't seen her since February 1st, so we are stoked to see her and see what her life has been like for the past couple months. So exciting!

I will do my best to blog while on the trip-a real time account of the travels-but if that doesn't pan out, I will certainly blog about our adventures when we return!

Au revoir and Ciao!

We Are...PENN STATE!

Last night, Jon and I, along with some friends, travelled up to the bustling city of New York to watch our beloved Lions battle the Fighting Irish in the NIT Final Four at Madison Square Garden. Not having gone to any of the regular season games this season, we joked about how of all the games to see, this was a good one. The Lions looked good-especially in the first half where they out rebounded, out ran, and outscored the Irish. The second half, although not quite as "suave", still stayed in Penn State's favor. The game ended closer than us Blue and White bleeders would have liked, with a score of 67-59, but hey-it's a "W" and that's all the matters, right?

The crowd was, without a doubt, Penn State proud, making it feel much like a home game. It was exhilarating to be hanging out in a huge venue like Madison Square Garden, but be feeling nothing but Penn State love. Even JoePa made the trip to NYC-and he was feeling the love too as his face shown on the big screen numerous times, each time the arena ROARING with applause.

It was a great experience and although I am EXHAUSTED today, it was all worth it. Next up for the Lions-NIT final game vs. Baylor-Thursday 4/2- 7:00 pm.

WE ARE....PENN STATE!!
