MADSpainRID

I find that the more time I spend here the more I like it. I'm the kind of person who associates my love for places with the people that are there. Lets face it, Springfield isn't that exciting of a town, but when I'm there with who I think are the best people on the planet, I sincerely love it. I find myself missing my hometown as well. Not because it has a plethora of things to do, cuz this couldn't be farther from the truth, but- because this is where my family is. So- adjusting to Spain has taken some time. But the more people I meet and get to know the more I like it here.
I have learned so much about myself through this experience. I have learned so much about God as well and I know that when I look at this little adventure in hindsight I will be 1000 times more positive than I am right now.. but staying positive for the next three weeks is my goal. I want to soak up whatever I can and learn whatever else I can. I believe God broke me a few times over already, and for pains sake I hope He's done with that.. but I know that each time I am completely humbled the best place I find myself is at His feet.
But- planning ahead.. When I get home I'm gonna get a good nights rest in someplace cold that has air conditioning. I wake up several times a night here suffocating from the heat.. this I will not miss. And- then after that I am gonna go soak up the beach with my sister. Then soon after that God will bless me with a great job that I will enjoy!!!!!! This life is good.

When You're Gone..

You know those people who come into your life and you have no idea how much of an impact they have made until they are gone? The ones that come around like 3 times in an entire lifetime. Yah- Well, I'm pretty sure I will never ever forget him...

Its weird when you can feel yourself changing. Like- all those things you don't like about yourself are just going away.. and even if you wanted to stop it (in a effort to hold onto what you know and have grown comfortable with) you cant. Its an effortless change that is unavoidable.
