Spain Baby Shower

This past Saturday my friends here in Spain threw me a baby shower.  They were so generous and organized and planned a lovely luncheon at the Club on base.  Brianna made the invitations, Rena made this adorable cake and everyone else brought tons of yummy food. Celina planned and executed all the fun games.  We… Continue reading Spain Baby Shower

21 and counting!

I think it’s safe to say that Joe and I will not be following in the Duggars footsteps. Last night was the Air Force Ball. Since Joe was in Germany this week and I have nothing to wear to a ball that won’t make me look like a big, round, taffeta beach ball I decided… Continue reading 21 and counting!

House Pics

Even though we moved in to our new home in early July I am only now finishing up decorating and unpacking inside.  I was gone for 6 weeks so that didn’t help and moving twice in 6 months really decreased my enthusiasm to unpack this time around.  Regardless, I have just about finished the downstairs… Continue reading House Pics

Summer, summer, summertime!

Not much happening around these parts lately other than weekends packed with BBQs.  The temperatures have been well over 100 degrees so the only thing people want to do is jump in the pool and sit in the shade.  Two weeks ago we co-hosted a shrimp boil with some friends. Our friends Joey and Rena… Continue reading Summer, summer, summertime!

Our New House

It seems I’ve been out of contact for quite some time and the past few weeks have been crazy.  One day Joe and I started talking about possibly moving to a new house.  It came up rather causally but as we started to think more about it we decided that it would be a good… Continue reading Our New House

Summer Vacay

Well summer is in full swing here in Spain.  With temps reaching 110 degrees, and light lasting until well past 10 PM we have been doing a lot of swimming, BBQs and laying in the air conditioning.  2 weeks ago my parents came to visit and we met them down south in Marbella for a… Continue reading Summer Vacay

How You Know It’s Going To Be Really Hot In Spain…

It’s June and in the high 70s. I’m in shorts, a t-shirt, and flip-flops standing at the produce aisle in the supermarket getting funny looks from two women in jeans and cardigans. If this is “chilly”, I’m not looking forward to the heat of summer.

Utrera Tapas Festival

Last week was the Utrera Tapas Festival.  You may remember when Joe and I ventured out to the Moron Tapas Festival a few months ago with some friends.  Utrera is a larger town just west of Moron and probably twice as large so it was fitting that their Tapas Festival was as well.  Joe and… Continue reading Utrera Tapas Festival

Pregnancy Cravings in Spain

My cravings change with the time of day.  Every meal it’s something different and when you grew up in one culinary culture it’s very hard to satisfy your crazy cravings when surrounded by another. You see I crave American food!  Last night I wanted a Cherry Coke Slushie, the kind you get at the movie… Continue reading Pregnancy Cravings in Spain
