One Year Ago...

This Little Freaker was born! Happy Birthday Carlyle! I know you all must think I'm crazy posting about our cat. I just can't help myself. I miss her so much and you can't tell me she's not one of the cutest cats you've ever seen? I mean come on. She is just so fun for us to have. "Man's Best Friend" right? Oh wait...that is a dog! I can't wait to see her in two months! My mother-n-law is baking her a cake and throwing her a cat party today! False! She is not throwing or baking her anything....that would be absurd! Besides, Carlyle already got up on the kitchen counter and licked my father-n-law's birthday cake frosting when it was his B-Day last month! Oops...Naughty kitty! I'm not that crazy, just crazy enough to do a birthday post for our pet. HAHA!!!

Rome III

We went to St. Peter's Basilica this day. This is located inside the Vatican City. It is so GRAND and beautiful and historic! It went on forever! We waited in line for about 45 minutes to go in. We had to make sure we all wore pants that day; although it was a very hot day again! (No shorts allowed inside.) It was worth it! This place rocks! Later we went to Piazza Del Popolo, which is a large square in Rome. We also went to the beautiful Spanish Steps that look over the entire city of Rome. We checked out Piazza de Navona, another square, a small art Museum and another basilica that was closing that my mom wanted to go look inside. We ended the day seeing the Pantheon again all lit up at night! There are so many beautiful churches in Europe with killer architecture! On a side note, It was so hot in Rome and I had no other clean short-sleeved shirts to wear, so John bought me an I ♥ Rome shirt. I look like I'm about 14 in all these pics. : ) DON'T JUDGE! HAHAHA.....

This is St. Peter's Square.

The other day we got a Halloween card from "Carlyle." It was so funny I was laughing my butt off! Plus- Look how classic the look on that cat's face is! I love it! Here is a picture of the front and inside of the card! (I wrote what it said bigger in case you couldn't see the writing on the inside of the card.) Thanks kidden... errr I mean Geoff! : )
