Feliz cumpleaños para mí

Jumpin’ for Joy!

Play-doh cookie made for me

Now I can say, it’s my birthday and I’ll cry if I want to, but there’s no cryin’ in Vitoria-Gasteiz.  I’m feeling lots of happiness, joy and sadness today. I get to spend my day with my new Spanish family and two beautiful chicas.  Yesterday we made animals with play-doh and L looked at my snail and said, “Gorgeous!”  That’s a new expression for her.  I didn’t know I said gorgeous, but she said she learned it from me.  It’s probably because there’s a lot of flowers here that are gorgeous.  That makes me happy!  It’s the first time to not celebrate with my peeps, which makes me sad, but I’ll be home in a few weeks for a big homecoming and celebration!

Today’s post will highlight some of my favorite things.   A tough choice, but gotta do it!
