20 you were good to me!



I am finally 21... doesn't feel spectacular, I guess it never does. I do keep thinking about this past year and everything that has happened.
  • I got to work at Lake Junaluska where I met some amazing Christ lovers who were honestly seeking God in the ministry that we were doing.
  • After my sophomore year in the I-House I really didn't think that it could get any better, I was right, it wasn't better just great in its on respect. I met some incredible people and had some incredible experiences.
  • I was finally able to make it to Spain and have basically had the experience of a lifetime.
  • Yesterday I chatted with friends in the states and last night I was able to celebrate my birthday with friends that I have made here.
Thanks everybody for blessing me every day and making this past year sooo amazing. I love you all and cant wait to see what 21 has for me!

Thumbs up to Barcelona, Thumbs down to Spanish projects.

  • This past week me and a group of friends went on a trip to Barcelona and it was A-MAZING!!. We stayed at this hostel that was full of Americans and Canadians on vacation with mommy and daddy's money (I realized that I judge people who aren't here on study abroad). We went to see some of the landmarks like The Gaudi house, Sagrada Familia, The Picasso museum, The soccer/football stadium (for free), and the beach of course.


  • While in Barcelona I was surprised by the amount of old and naked that I witnessed.
  • On the way back from Barcelona we had to spend the night at the airport and then catch the 6:30 a.m. flight to Madrid. We got back home around 10:00 a.m., went to class, and worked on finishing the work for the presentation we had to give at 5:00p.m...It was a long day.
  • Now I am working on finishing the corrections on this project for geography so that I can get some rest.

That is all for today...These guys are pretty boss!

Sooo...it's been a while...

I realize that it has been about three months since I have last blogged...my bad:). A lot has happened since then.
  • I have traveled to Italy, France, and seen more of Spain.
  • I have met a lot of new people that I now call my friends.
  • I've been practicing and improving my Spanish (sort of).
  • I have missed all of my friends and family from home.
  • I have wanted to stay in Spain forever.
  • I have wanted to go home and move on.
  • I have spent waaay too much money.
  • I have had some incredible spats with God, and been proven wrong.
But, most of all I have grown. I miss you all and can't wait to see what is going to happen next for me...Hasta luego:)


I have recently been getting back into Ray Lamontagne...he's pretty great!

P.S. I do promise to be better about this whole blogging thing from now on....FELIZ CINCO DE MAYO!!
