Salut!

Yes, I know I have seriously neglected the five or six people who actually read this, but I have an excellent reason. Just kidding... I've been procrastinating. I figure that since it's been nearly a month since Christmas (and my trip to Spain) I should probably update, so here it goes. Excuse me if I leave some things out, since it has been a whole month and I have trouble remembering what I did yesterday afternoon ;).

I just now realized that last time I posted was about my trip to London... wow. 

Okay so I basically follow a routine during the week and relax on the weekends, but for Christmas we all went to Benalmadena. It is absolutely beautiful there. I spent four days away from rain and snow, enjoying the beach and reading and falling in love with Spain.

The three of us stayed with Barbara's aunt. We didn't bother going to any fancy tourist spots, but chose instead to relax and enjoy each other's company. I've been so fortunate to live with people that I genuinely like. 

After we got back from Spain, Dominique arrived! Barbara had been telling me for months that Dominique and I needed to meet, because she knew we would get along. Of course she was right. I made a new friend, and I'm happy to say that I get to go visit her in Germany in March! I cannot wait.

Also in the next few months, I'll be going snowboarding in the Alps and my mom is coming to visit.

Roosters everywhere...

I climb trees.

I cannot explain how fortunate I am :). I could not be happier.
