wow, wow, wow...I can't believe it's been a month

So as I have been told it has been a month since I have written anything.  Sorry! =] I keep sitting down to write and then something comes up and I keep saying 'oh, you just wrote last week so just write it tomorrow' and then WOW!, it's been a month. The time has just flown by, it's wonderful.  Last week a friend of mine asked me how this experience compared to my last experience abroad (Ecuador) and I told him its just a total 180.  This has been an amazing last few months and I am so happy.  I am also really enjoying using my spanish again and learning more, I don't have that nauseous feeling I used to when I would speak spanish, it's really wonderful!
So life in the past month:
I love Somo! It is beautiful, and the weather is really becoming nice..although yesterday we did have a rainstorm-I loved the thunder! I am very setteled in with the family and my life here.  I have made a few more friends, but still learning how to keep sane with the spanish social hours.  I went out Saturday night...well more like Sunday morning.  I met everyone at midnight and got dropped off at my house at 7am! It's crazy, but hey...thats Espana! So needless to say, yesterday I spent a good few afternoon hours sleeping.  I couldn't sleep to well when I got home because the kids wake up around 8 and Carla (who is wonderful and I love her) loves to make these super loud screech-type noises when she gets excited about something.  And yesterday was mother's day in Europe so she was super excited to see her grandmother...so yeah, no sleep till about noon or 1.  But today I am all back to normal and properly rested. 
I found a wonderful hairdresser, it's really amazing how much a good haircut means to me. But I was just so happy to have a haircut and a new style (I got bangs again!) and Marije told me it was wonderful about a million times =] I loved it, lol. 
Last weekend one of my TEFL class friend's, Lindsey, came to visit from Germany.  It was nice to go out with someone, because I had been hesitant (and a little scared) to go out alone.  But we had a great time hanging out at the beach and visiting the Colonial Market that was here last weekend.  I bought a beautiful set of hand carved wooden salad tossers =]
I am planning a few trips for this summer and in September.  I really want to go to Pamplona in July to see the running of the bulls. 
That's it for right now.  I promise to not let it go a whole month again before I write.  I really love writing the blog and am happy that it's actually read, lol.

They are awesome kids

Out in Nojas

Oh! I added a list of links (top right of the blog) to my Facebook photo albums.  I always add photos on there, and even if you don't have a facebook you can still view the albums.
