Arrivederci #1

I was born into a great family & over the course of my life, I have been honored to meet and connect with some amazing people. I truly believe I have the absolute best family and friends anyone could have. If you would like to challenge me on that, go for it.

When I told these wonderful folks of my potential plans to move to Italy for a few years, I got almost nothing but encouragement, prayers, and love. I knew it would be hard to say arrivederci to everyone, so they  made it easier by throwing me parties to send me off. Aren't they great!?!



Going Away Shin Dig #1:
I am a lifetime and proud member of the illustrious sisterhood of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. Through joining this sisterhood, I have met some of my best friends in the entire world. I already miss them terribly. They threw me a stylish and thoughtful going away party in Midtown Omaha at Vue. We had an amazing time! Check it out:

Quick Change

Ciao!
Here are the facts:
  • My name is Jennifer
  • I'm 26 years old
  • I am an accountant
  • I am an American
  • I just moved to Italy
I am an Illinois-born, Nebraskan-grown gal. I have always wanted big things for myself, and have always been up for an adventure. Very shortly after I graduated from college, I accepted a position at a wonderful company and relocated to Northeast Nebraska. Many of the people in my life were supportive, but still skeptical about the move to Norfolk, NE. While in Norfolk, I met some life-long friends, had some great and new experiences, and even some tough life lessons. All in all, it was a valuable experience. Then came an opportunity in my work inbox for an accountant position in Italy for a couple of years for a joint venture for my company. It all happened so fast, but I am so happy it did! Fast forward about 7-8 weeks, and here I am in Brescia, Italy. It's going to be quite an experience, and I want to share it with you!
