Life Is Certainly Strange.......

I swear I am living in some cheesy chick flick.  To start with I lived in Sicily for four years and then move to Chicago and get a studio. I think that sounds more glamorous than it actually is...... To top it off, once I finish school and get some experience in my chosen field (Interior Design) I plan on getting a working visa and moving to London. If I can hack it in Chicago than London should be easier right? As I see it the next three years will by my "training" for London.

Here I Go Again On My Own

It is a bitter sweet feeling to look back and remember all the things that have happened to me in the past two years. If I allow myself to let go and give myself over to emotion I can recall events as if they just happened moments ago. I get emotional when I ask myself if I took all that I could from those special moments in life. It is a tangle of time and emotion and I find myself trying to wade through it, hoping to make sense of it all. It is a hard road that I must travel now and I will have all these wonderful memories to sustain me. I miss my friends something terrible, they are my family. Nobody is immune to time, it marches on and waits for nobody, cherish the ones that love you.

DNA Results Are In!

A couple months back I did the Ancestry.com DNA test. I am really pleased because what they came back with supports the Genealogy research that I have done but with one added bonus: Native American. 

This is something I have been suspicious of for some time and had to take with a grain of salt because most people claim Native American heritage when there really is no evidence to prove so. I had heard some rumors that there was a possibility that we had some Cherokee ancestry; as I had no proof at the time I had to discount it, that is until now. 

Awhile back I did a post on my family tree:http://shortsweetstories.blogspot.it/2013/01/modern-day-tess-of-durbervilles.html 

Anyways so here are the results. They really are self explanatory.
