italia

a girls' day out

Sanremo, Italy

45 minutes from Nice

color !!!

{sidenote: to describe france & italy in colors,

france = black, grey, maybe brown, and an occasional red;

italy = every color you can imagine !}

seeing as color affects me tremendously, i try to make an effort EVERYday to wear a little, if not, a lot

taken for the sandoval family =)

a family who appreciates foo-da-fa-fa and MOOstaches

indoor market

drove by monaco on the way home

 perhaps you are thinking, just like I am,

what in the world, "Lindsey, you're living a dream life !"

How does one turn down a phone call like this?:

"Hey, Linz, would you want to come to italy on tuesday with us?" -Nancy

um... hmmm... no, i have too much laundry to do

or no, i just feel like having a day at home...

OF COURSE I WANT TO COME TO ITALY !!!

all this to say, i really want to praise God for these opportunities

i never want to take for granted where i live

yes, i have my hard days, just like you,

(and they seem to come often)

but, 

"The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD."-Job 1:21

He has taken me away from my family, that i miss very much, my comforts, my "identity"

but,

He has given me so much in return:

an incredible husband who loves Jesus and me so much

a new life in France, the opportunity to travel, learn a language

and the opportunity to be stretched until all I have is my identity in Jesus Christ

and for this i rejoice

Blessed be the name of the LORD !
