Some photos from my farewell gatherings

I already miss them...

I just thought I'd let everyone know the 2 people I'm going to miss the most in MN! Being Auntie Crystal (or Tia, the Spanish word for Aunt, and that's what Samuel calls me now-most of the time) is super fun! I love this nino and bebe, and am going to miss giving them smooches! It makes me sad to think about not hugging and kissing them for 2 years (but hopefully I'll be back sometime in those 2 years!)

2 WEEKS!!!!!!

I AM LEAVING FOR ESPANA IN 2 WEEKS! Actually, I will be in the air, probably over the Atlantic Ocean, flying from Chicago to Frankfurt!! yeah, I get to go to Germany, the land of my ancestors, before I head on over to Spain! I hope all of my luggage follows me! Tomorrow, my family and I go up north MN for a week vacation at Causeway! I can't wait to lay by the pool and relax! I'll also be bringing some things to look over and organize for Spain. It's a never ending time of fun when you have to move to a different side of the ocean.

less than 3 weeks!

I leave in less than 3 weeks! and 3 weeks from today, will be my first weekend in Spain! I look forward to unpacking when I'm there, but I'm not looking forward to packing a bunch of huge suitcases that are going to cost me a lot of $ in extra baggage fees at the airport. oh well. that's life.
