I'm alive! But my computer is not :( so that's what's up with the lack of new blogs. I've decided to slowly type on my phone to update yall. I'VE BEEN HERE FOR OVER A MONTH! A lot has happened that I'm sure I'm going to leave out, but here's the gist: It's finally spring here! So goodbye cold weather and homesickness and helloooo flowers and beaches. Since I'm free from 9 - 4 and most of my friends have class during that time I usually go to the beach or somew...

This week has flown by! I pretty much have a schedule I'm use to now, and I know people so I think that helps. I still get very home sick though :( I know, I know "you're in Spain!" blah blah. Just sayin. I miss home. This weekend is kinda crazy because it is like mardi gras + halloween, but not really. Everyone dresses up. My host family was spongebob, buzzlight year, and an astronaut. I didn't dress up because, well, I don't understand this holiday a...

I had a great weekend! Saturday I couldn't find the American girl I was suppose to meet so I just hung out with my friend Maria all day.

So I accidently went shopping today. Or I may have gone on the internet to search for cheap clothes, wrote down the directions then spent an hour looking for it. Either way, I went shopping. But I managed to spend practically nothing. I was in desperate need of socks (another crucial thing I didn't think to pack) and a jacket. The shops are amazing here though! (side note: apparently there are like 8 different sizes of socks...I didn't know this and got ones tha...

It's Wednesday night and I have just put the kids to bed. Yesterday was Didac (Diego) first birthday! They are celebrating it this weekend. I have spent the past couple of days waking up and getting the kids ready from 8-9am and from 4-8pm. In my free time I've been hanging out either at the american campus or exploring the city! I got really lost the other day... but it's so nice they have a good metro system. Today I met a girl on facebook who is an au pair in...
