First came marriage, then came Rome. But it all started in New York. Newly married, Paul and I packed it up, quit our jobs (hes a CPA, I was a VP at Martha Stewart.com), drove cross country to drop off the dog and the car, then headed for Rome. Now hes at FAO and Im a writer/consultant. But were not alone. With beginners luck on our side, we welcomed our first child, Phoebe, during our first year in Rome. So here we are. This blog follows the ups, downs and only-in-Italy moments of ex-pats, parents and newlyweds.
