iTaLiAn

I was out with my grandparents this weekend and of course, we went to an Italian restaurant. This made me think of being Italian! My family is very Italian and very close. I just love spending time with them all. My dad's parents are both 100% Italian (my grandma's parents were born in Venice, Italy) and my mom's parents are 50% Italian...therefore, I am 75%! It is a big part of who I am. My family is loud and hilarious. I especially love when my grandma walks around the house mumbling things in Italian to herself :) It cracks me up. She speaks it fluently. She also has the funniest family stories and has a passion for cooking. Our family get togethers consist of a LOT of talking and a LOT of food. It shouldn't come as a surprise that with being Italian comes a love of food! Every family dinner (even Thanksgiving) consists of some type of pasta. I have never been to Italy, but I would love to go. Not only because my family is from there, but because it just seems plain awesome. My grandparents have been there and always say how much they love it. They also always tell the crazy stories they have about my family there. I could sit there for hours just listening to her talk about them. I'm so excited for Thanksgiving and Christmas!
