BARCELONA


The place where EVERYONE is.


We got to see a little Spanish band play.


Our view from a small cafe below our apartment.

Scooters much?

My favorite building, Red with green shutters.

Barcelona is AMAZING.
Such a beautiful city! The architecture, the style of clothing, the cafe's and shopping boutiques!! Everything is awesome.

Everyone dresses different and has their own style, completely up my alley. The clothing is so much more classy and beautiful. Totally cool.

I am going to learn Spanish when I get back, it's such an awesome language. Then after I learn it, I'll come back and actually know what people are saying!

I really want a red scooter. EVERYONE has scooters in these parts.

The coffee... is great, so different, it is very, very rich. It's just darn good.

This city is absolutely amazing, I'm think about asking my soon-to-be hubby if we can save up, pack up, and come live here for a couple of months in an apartment. Maybe I can talk him into it :)

I haven't been shopping yet, I am DYING to go shopping. I have been busy nanny-ing and touring the city. But when I get to shop, it will be absolutely awesome. I am so excited.

In my last post I mentioned how I felt like change was coming... well it is upon me.

I AM GETTING MARRIED TO MY BEST FRIEND AND LOVE!!!

I am the luckiest girl in the world.

Wedding is on 10.10.10, I am ridiculously excited out of my mind. I have basically everything planned out. Since I am going to EUROPE AND AFRICA for 45 DAYS to be a nanny and for missions.

Change, change, change, change.

I fly out in 6 days to Barcelona. I am getting so excited.

But I am going to miss my love terribly.

I am really really really going to try to blog and post pictures while I am gone. I think that would be awesome. I am so excited.

It's a time of change.
It's like I can feel change coming, in the air, in everything. Yeah call me strange.

There are so many things in my head.

I had my wisdom teeth pulled out last friday, so I've been basically out of it for the past 3 and a half days. That's okay though, I think being out of it every once in a while is nice haha. It's gets your mind shifted to rest and nothingness. Either way, I really want some chips and salsa, but other than that I am good.

But as the real world slowly creeps back up into my mind, things I was thinking about before last Friday are resurfacing fast. I'm not sure if it's all a "God-thing" or if its just a coincidence, or maybe just a decision that will have to be made at some point. Either way it is, I am excited to see how it all plays out.

And I'm not worried about what will change in the next few months. I have confidence that God is in control. And that when my love, my Zackary tells me not to worry about it, that I don't have to worry about it.

I don't really know where I am going with all this gibberish, it's just good to write and type and have these words come off the keys as I think them. I don't do this too often anymore. I don't know what happened to my creativity. Hah.

Earlier I was reading a blog from last year, actually last 4/20, which is a year ago tomorrow, and it was so desperate. I was hurting so bad. For a time of about 7 months, it's all a blur. Now here I am, a year later, so very happy, things are so good. But this time last year, my last guess of how things could end up would have been how they are now.
Yet I am the happiest woman in the world because of the way things are now.
I forget so easily Who got me to this place.

I have a new found love for www.etsy.com, coolest vintage clothes! Okay well now some of the sellers are very proud of their items, but there are some great deals on Etsy. I am currently about to buy an old red American Tourister suitcase, just in time for my big roadtrip to Yellowstone at the end of next month (which I am planning about blogging about, we'll see if that happens hah). If you have a love for vintage clothes and kick-knacks with character, check out the link above.
I sound like a add for Etsy, but I'm just saying, cool stuff.

My vinyl collection is growing nicely, my latest buy was the first Santana album from '69. Got it at a neat vinyl shop in Paris, TX, randomly enough; actually I think the record shop was cooler than the mini Eiffel Tower, which was the reason I wanted to go to Paris in the first place.

I've got to blog more. Maybe I will.
