Adventures

Santiago de Compostela

November 2, 2011

On Monday, Mike and I ventured about an hour away to Santiago de Compostela, which is the capitol city of our region, Galicia. It is also, according to Wikipedia, a Holy city where pilgrims flock from around the world. There’s even a series of trails called The Way of St. James (or El Camino de [...]

“Let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.”

October 16, 2011

Somehow, after 11 months of waiting for this day, it’s here. As romantic and wonderful as moving to Spain sounded to me eleven months ago, we now face the adventure we signed up for knowing that it’s not all rainbows and butterflies. We went through hell and back to get what we wanted with this [...]

Two Days to Vacay

September 7, 2011

This Friday, we’re setting off! We have a three week trip planned to Spain and France, where we’ll take in sights, smells, food, wine and…oh yeah, find a HOUSE to live in. I’d like to say that I’m really, really, super excited. And I am…but only really at the idea of it. It still feels [...]

Twenty-Five

August 25, 2011

Today, I am officially twenty-five. Smack dab in my mid-twenties. Honestly, I never thought it would happen to me. Allow me to be dramatic for a sec. When I was in high school, 25 seemed lightyears away. I imagined that I would be a rockstar moviestar big Hollywood writer by now with millions and mansions [...]

Follow the Spiders

August 18, 2011

Okay. So. EVERY MORNING I would run into a GIANT strand of spider web between the tomatoes and the peppers. It was like fishing line it was so strong and every morning as I went out to check on our tomatoes and peppers, I’d get a face-full of web. So I finally just accepted that the spider [...]

Bad News, Badass Decision

August 15, 2011

This weekend, we got a bit of bad news. I don’t qualify for unemployment because my old company maintains that I left “voluntarily.” Um, bullshit. Here were the circumstances: Mike and I were offered the job, told we’d leave August, but we weren’t sure exactly when I might leave my job. I thought, in order [...]

Our Dream Home

August 9, 2011

Recently, Mike and I took a trip back to the Midwest (yeah, I know I have yet to recap it…I’ll get to it) and stayed with my sister and BIL on their 7 acre (!) property on the outskirts of Cincinnati. We only stayed a few days, but Mike and I are completely enamored with [...]

Wisdom Teeth

July 28, 2011

I’ve been putting it off for a couple of years now. Originally, I was told that I wouldn’t have to get my wisdom teeth out since they were growing in straight and my mouth had enough room to accommodate them. Well, I guess that there’s some pocket in my gums where they’re growing in that [...]

It Isn’t For Everyone

June 24, 2011

Overall, I’ve been getting very enthusiastic responses when I tell people that I’m moving to Spain with my husband.  The first question out of people’s mouths is usually “why” we’re moving there, followed quickly by the question, “What will YOU do?” I respond to this by saying, “Well, I won’t have a work visa, so [...]

Jill of all Trades?

June 17, 2011

Today is my last day of work!!  Scary, but I’m also kinda excited.  It seems like the last day of school and I feel a little lost, like I should have a yearbook for people to sign or something. In honor of my last day of work, I thought I’d put together a post about [...]
