New Internship!

A few months ago I was at Publix, grocery shopping, when I happened to go look at the wedding magazines (one of my favorite past times). I saw the usual, Brides, Modern Brides, The Knot: Florida, Grace Ormonde Wedding Style, InStyle Weddings, etc. But this day I found something new! Florida Gulf Coast Weddings Magazine... how much more perfect could a magazine be for me?! I love weddings, magazines, and I'm from Florida's gulf coast!



So, I emailed the editor, who seems to have forwarded it to the publisher who emailed me and long story short, I have an internship!

I got my first assignment yesterday to interview some advertisers for the next issue! I'll be calling them all tomorrow, I'm a little nervous, but really excited. It's an unpaid internship for the time-being, but sometimes the better you do you may get offered a paying position later on. The publisher is so nice and very smart and helpful. I just hope I do a good job and she approves.

It's a great magazine! I really do love it, they featured several real couples who got married all over the west coast of Florida, including one in Naples! I'm going to see if I can't get my hands on a few more copies of the premiere issue and I'll mail them to the out-of-towners!

I'll let you know how the interviews and article goes!


P.S.

Heres the website for the magazine, http://www.floridagulfcoastbrides.com/.

New baby cuz, Aurelia!

Lisa had her baby March 12, 2009 at 10:07pm! Her name is Aurelia Alise Sciandra and she was 7lbs.-7oz., 20in. long! Her grandma Heidi, grandpa Keith, great grandma Ilene, great aunt and uncle, aunt Kathy, aunt Jill, uncle Mark, and cousin Megan all waited for her in the hospital waiting room for hours with a birthday cake, champagne and beef jerky!

Grandpa Keith about to pop the champagne and cut the cake!

Grandma Heidi calling everyone about the baby!

I had a sinus infection that week so I got this mask in case we saw the baby. I didn't want to get her sick!

Aurelia's first birthday cake!

Uncle Keith brought his homemade beef jerky for the occasion!


Dad, Jason announcing to the family that Aurelia is here (and correcting us on the pronunciation of her name; aw-rale-yuh)


The next day aunt Jill and Cousin Megan visited the Sciandra family and got a quick video of baby Aurelia's big blue eyes! She's gorgeous!

My 21st Birthday!

Here's some pics from my birthday weekend in Fort Myers!
We had dinner at the Gallos first! They got me a cake and only had a Cotronella candle for me to blow out lol.
Then we had dinner at The Green Flash on Captiva, it had a great view!
Then, we had more dinner (all different nights) at Kumo in Cape Coral, our favorite place! It's a Japanese steakhouse and the whole family came!


The cake that the Gallos got me, and my Citronella birthday candle!
My amazing dinner at Kumo Japanese Steakhouse!
