Foreign Exchange Student!

Say hola to Christina our foreign exchange student from Spain!!

She has come to stay with us for a few weeks and we took her out to a nice American meal... Teppanyaki. :)

It has been so fun to have Christina around and to learn so much about a different culture! I love it. It's funny to ask her about the simplest things because in Spain.. they do everything so different.

One thing I found funny - Christina has had a hard time adjusting to our meals because she eats lunch at 4pm & dinner at 11pm! wahh!! Crazy. But awesome. I'll keep you posted on the fun things we do...

adios!

Eat Pray Love

I recently read this book over my Lake Powell vacation (amazing) and totally loved it!

I admit I first wanted to read this book because I knew it was being made into a movie with Julia Roberts. Who doesn't love her?

But as I began to read this book it really opened up my eyes as to what I want out of life. I was so envious of her adventures and found myself thinking: "Hey, I wanna eat pasta in Italy! I want to meditate in India.. I want to have my palm read by a medicine man in Indonesia!"

For some reason this book really put into perspective what I want out of the big picture in my life... and that involves a lot of traveling! I want to see everything I can... set foot on every continent (maybe not Antarctica.. haha) and experience all that this beautiful world has to offer. After going to Africa and falling in love with the people & the culture I developed an itch inside me that seems to drive me to adventure out & involve myself in my global surroundings.

As cheesy as it sounds, it's the truth... "live life to the fullest, you never know which breath may be your last"

And that is definitely what I intend to do :)
