yes i WOULD like some cheese with my whine

So I was too busy eating, drinking and sleeping to post from spain, but go to facebook to see the three photo albums we put up with pictures from Barcelona and San Sebastian. I mean it’s basically food porn for the hungry soul, which in our case we’re all always hungry, but if these pictures don’t convince you that spain is awesome, I don’t know if we can be friends… = ) my return trip was interesting to say the least and we’ll just leave it at it having been a very very long, tiring and upsetting journey… but I made it back in one piece, with no luggage missing, and was reunited with von, which is really all that matters! Other than being back with von though nothing else has really gone according to plan. School has started up again and von was busy with the last stage of science fair, which was phenomenal, and we got to experience nampula in a whole new light where we got to hang out with friends we haven’t seen in a while and eat good food and take hot showers! Oh yeah that was another thing about spain… I think I averaged 2.5 showers while I was there! Days 1-5 I was taking like 3 showers a day, then I eased up a little in the middle, but towards the end when I realized I wouldn’t be able to take hot showers for a while again I was back to 3 showers a day~ haha it was amazing! seriously though, do not EVER take a hot running water shower for granted… NEVER! EVER! So then some more evil things happened when we were trying to come home from nampula and then we got some more bad news about one of our conferences getting cancelled… yeah sorry to sound so whiney but it’s just been a total bummer these past few weeks. and service has sucked so I haven’t really been able to talk to my family and I finally got through and talked to my dad for a little bit but the connection wasn’t great and I couldn’t hear him that well and my mom wasn’t even there so I didn’t get to talk to him… WAH WAH WAH. Dang I’m sorry haha ok but there’s more bad news! Haha so we’ve finally crossed into a very very special month, SEPTEMBER, and you know what that means, BIRTHDAY MONTH! Haha ps happy birthday nick and donna!! I love and miss yall so much! Hope yall had amazing amazing days! well so there are tons of volunteers with September birthdays as well so we had travel plans basically every weekend for different birthday celebrations but we already hit our first road block not being able to travel this weekend due to ‘complications.’ So we’re trying to make the most of it at home, but hopefully we’ll be able to travel by next weekend cuz that’s the important one! 25!!! HOLY COW! Quarter of a century! Insanity… but yeah we were gonna head to the beach for the weekend to celebrate my oldness so keep your fingers crossed cuz if that doesn’t happen either I’ll be really truly sad and depressed and will require mass amounts of booze to drown my sorrows! So yeah I probably shouldn’t have written this blog right now seeing as I’m the bluest I’ve every been in life, but wanted to get something on the blogosphere so yall would know that I was atleast still alive! Miss everyone so much it hurts!
