Happy New Year!

(Anziano Wilkinson)

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and enjoyed spending lots of time with family and eat lots of good food! It was exciting for me to be able to skype my family and catch up with them a little more face to face, or rather, screen to screen! My companion and I had some great food and had the pleasure of trying some new Italian dishes, and some old classics; the main dish was lasagna. As typical in Italian culture, this lovely family wouldn't let us leave without stuffing ourselves full of food. Hey, no complaints here! We also got the chance to watch a Disney movie, so my comp and I chose Frozen since neither of us had seen it.

After the big holiday we hit the pavement again and have begun to find lots of new people to teach, which is an exciting way to start the new year! As usual we're setting goals and making plans to make this new year a great one. Which for me includes learning how to cook Italian food better! I've decided that I will make a Ragu (back in the states we call it red pasta sauce with meat in it) on New Year's Eve since we have to return home early that evening. Apparently Italians take their New Years parties pretty seriously. I'll let you all know by next week next week if I live through it! But for now, have a great New Years, set some awesome goals, and achieve some amazing things!
