Wow, so funny story.  I thought that I would be caught up with my blog by the time I left for Spain on September 6, but that definitely did not happen.  Between purging my large room of all unnecessary and/or unsentimental belongings, cleaning the house, and packing, there was no time for blogging.  So, right now I am in the beautiful Madrid for the first time on my sixth visit to Spain.  The last week and a half have been full of quick visits to marvelous towns and wonderful family, unspeakably incredible food and riding for hours in the car with a book.  I will not try to catch up on my blog at least until I settle down with my grandmother in Andalucia in the beginning of October, so I'm sorry. Truthfully, once I am at her house my first blogging priority will be to record my Spanish travels, and once I have done that I will focus back on my unfinished US-life blogging.  Sorry for being so behind, though I'm pretty sure I have about 3 readers.  Hi readers!  I'll be back in touch in early October :).  Now, I must go eat a glorious dinner and then read and read and read a series that I am addicted to until I can no longer keep my eyes open.
