Week report

It's Friday night, and Ely won't finish working until 10.30 pm, because she's at the theatre working at the info point for a new upcoming show called "The new Harem"...she told me it's quite an interesting new way of making a show, where the spectators are involved and the main topic is around "the meaning of being woman nowadays".

I am off work every Fridays, so it's a pity when Ely has to work and I am at home. But that's the perfect moment to make a new post, write emails and keep in touch with all the friends around the world.

This week I started working again after a loooong Christmas break, that started on Dec, 21st and ended last Wednesday. To say all the thruth I had to be on holiday until next Monday, but then I decided to return to work earlier and save those remaining holiday days for future purposes, maybe around Carnival.

Carnival this year is early. That of Venice, which we usually go to see every year, is on from Jan, 25th until Feb, 8th. This year I don't think we'll be able to go to Venice for the Carnival, because Ely is very busy at work and with one of her last exams at Law School. But never say never! (^_^)
Here is a picture we made a couple of years ago. It was fun!

This week it has finally snowed well. Now all the city and sourrundings are white and I like it much more. Here are a couple of pictures taken from our apt.

And the snowman made by our 2 little cousins Eleonora and Davide...isn't is nice? (^_^)

The highlight of this week was that we started the wedding course at the parrish of San Pietro, here in Trento. I don't know if in the rest of the world it's the same, but here in Italy, if a couple wants to marry in a Roman Catholic Church, it's compulsory to attend a wedding course, where some "soon-to-be-married" couples meet other "soon-to-be-married" couples and some married couples that, with the direction of the parrish priest, exchange feelings, expectations, emotions, fears and so on about the marriage and there are moments of reflection and prayer. The course will be every Wednesday until the end of February and every time there will be a particular topic to talk about. It was interesting, because it gave us the opportunity to discuss about some issues that will help to know more about each other, even though ,after almost 7 years together, I can say I know Ely very well and so she does with me.
A nice thing was to write and explain to the others why we want to get married, and, just in case, what fears we have about it.
Our answer about "Why do you want to get married?" was - as far as I am concerned - the simpliest ever, but isn't simplicity the best beginning? (^_^). For me and Ely it was quite a natural answer to say that we will get married "...because we love each other, because we complete each other and together we feel sooooooo well". I think we must be thankful for these great feelings that keeps us together and ever will!
I'm interested in knowing the next topics that we'll face on this course...and I'll keep this blog updated!
Feel free to comment and answer the question, if you don't think it's too personal! "Why did you get married or are you getting married? Ely and I are curious to hear other experiences and ideas! (^_^)
By the way, we are getting married in 2009!! Still far, but we are planning! :)

At work it was a total bore this week. I am working on the same project I was working before Christmas, and I really can't wait to finish it.

This weekend weather forecasts aren't good. Snow, rain and cold! So Ely and I would probably spend time at home and maybe tomorrow take a chance to go out for seasonal sales. I need some new jeans and Ely some new winter shoes! We'll see.

Have a good weekend.
