My first post...I'm so excited!

I told myself I wasn't going to post on my blog until I made it over to Italy. But with the way things are going, I might never make it over there. The visa process is never an easy one and we've now learned the hard way on two separate occasions. When we went over to England, we weren't married so we never expected it to be easy. But when Kevin signed in Italy, we thought it would be a breeze since we were finally married and had the papers to prove it. Boy, were we wrong. Kevin has now been over in Italy for three weeks. We've been in contact with the Italian Consulate in Chicago and the Immigration Offices in Bolzano and Rome, but we 'think' we might finally have it figured out. So hopefully, in a few weeks, I can tell you all about our exciting life in Italy. For now, you'll have to listen to the tale of a married unemployed, car-less woman living out of a bag at her parents' house while her husband is in Italy.
