Since I've been slacking on this blog for the past six months, I'll start going back in time to some of the adventures I've had along the way! And even though this was a short trip, I want to do it justice, so I'm splitting it into two parts.About two weeks into my stint in …

Love BugMy sister Anna has been acting funny all day, working on some top secret card.She’s been humming to herself, giggling, and was nice to me! Anna even shared her Valentine’s chocolate with me. Something must be wrong.“Anna was bit by the love bug,” Mom said.“Gross!” I said. I HATE bugs.“Is she going to the …
So I've been in England for a little over a month now. While winter in England isn't necessarily the most appealing time to visit—with the gloomy sky, chilly air, and wet weather—I have been lucky enough to find some beautiful areas. Cue Whitby.Whitby is a small seas side town in Northern Yorkshire. It's infamous for being …
So I've been MIA for quite some time--not that anyone noticed (except maybe Amanda (: ) I didn't quite make it through posting during the entire summer I spent in Spain, but I was enjoying living in the moment!

I'm staring through the train window still trying to grasp that I am here. We are somewhere in the Catalonian country side. The sky is brightening after a heavy rain storm just passed through. The mountains tower in the short distance and there are patches of wild poppies everywhere. Their bright red hue is a …
I haven't been posting that much recently. Sometimes it's hard to find the time. After coming back from Paris I was feeling a little homesick, so I spent the next couple days burying myself in books and watermelon on the beach--not a bad way to recharge. I also helped make a Spanish omelette for dinner …
