The Rain in Spain...

When my mom arrived in Italy we went to Murano for a day to explore and then high-tailed it to Sevilla, Spain the very next day!  It was quite the adventure and so much fun.  It rained while we were there about 90% of the time, but still incredible.  Here are a few pics from our trip...            

Oranges on EVERY tree on EVERY street!

 Christopher Columbus's tomb.

 Mom's first place to try Tapas and real Sangria.

I am back in full force!!

So I apologize about the very long absence, but the months past have been CRAZY!!  Joey and I hosted my parents and brother in March and his mom and dad for a trip in March/April.  We closed on a house in Dahonega (while still in Italy), had Joey's change of command ceremony, packed our apartment, found out my sister and Brad are having their first baby!!!, moved stateside, moved to our new house in Georgia while Joey started his new job, went to Michael and Nicole's wedding, got a puppy, attended some birthdays, and then hosted my family for Memorial Day weekend!  If that is not a lot of things to do in a 2 months I don't know what is!!  I have so many pictures to post so the next few posts will be nothing but pictures so enjoy :)

Mom's Arrival!

The past few days I have been really relaxing and looking through pictures because I am winding down from a crazy two adventure.  It started on March 7th when my fantastic mama flew into to Venice to spend some quality mother-daughter time before my brother and dad arrived on the 11th.  It was awesome!  As most of you know I have been living in Europe since October and loving it.  The only downsides are not being around my family or being able to pick up a phone whenever I want to call my best friends.  Needless to say I was ecstatic to see my mama!

 

My friend Gretchen went with me to pick her up from the airport, then we went to Murano Island to watch the artisans make the famous glass, buying Murano glass stemware for me with platinum detailing on the rims, and ended our day walking around Venice.  

It was an awesome day!  My next post will be our 3 day trip to Spain before Dad and Jared arrived. :)
