iFeliz Cumpleaños a Mi!

Another long hiatus of writing….

         Things have been winding down at school and I’ve been preparing to move out of my apartment for the summer.  Thankfully I have people to leave my things with for two months, so I don’t have to take a whole lot back with me.  My apartment came furnished this year, but as everyone knows, stuff accumulates…I have enjoyed living in this apartment (Flat/Piso) and have great roommates! My landlord is trying to sell it over the summer, otherwise I would try and live here again next September. 

         I got to celebrate my birthday!  It is my second birthday in Spain, and only my second birthday not being with my parents…*sniff sniff* However the friends I made here made sure it was special and I was sent some beautiful flowers to remind me that I get to see my family SOON!!!!

          I went out one night with my girlfriends, and on the day of, had brunch!  Later Nate and I went on a fun cable car ride, walk, and skyped my family.  Then he took me out to a really nice Italian restaurant in Madrid, where I got the best pizza I’ve had yet.  And a cannoli :D I’m pretty reasonable when it comes to birthday expectations…




 Sunday Bruch with the roommates and Nate!

Keep seeing cool rainbows after some crazy storms!




I had extra flour and sugar from this year and to use it up, 
I made batches and batches of cookies to give to my teachers and students!  
Double win.
