there are hard times too...

This past week was the hardest week for me thus far in Spain. If all you know about my time here is from this blog, it may seem as though I've been living in a fantasy world here since January. This, however, is not true. There are plenty of good times of course, but there are plenty of bad times as well. I just tend to post the "happy stuff" on my blog so that may be all you hear about.
After spending a week with my mom, I was reminded of how much I love home. I talked about home and thought more about it than I had in the months before she came. When she left, I wanted to hop on the plane with her and fly right back to Minnesota. 
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday this week were really tough. Home was the only thing on my mind. By Thursday I was able to turn things around, and this weekend has been good. I want everyone to know though how much I miss all of you! I am getting very excited to see everyone again and to be HOME.

    Kristin:
    I absolutely understand you feelings, I live far away from family and it's very hard.When my mother left Minnesota after 5 months with us I was very sad for a long time and what helped me was thinking I was very lucky to have her for that time and that she didn't leave she just returned home.
    There is nothing wrong with them , they are a very loving and caring family. Think you will see them soon.

    Believe me! I wanted to slip you into my suitcase and bring you home. We have so many exciting things going on here and we MISS YOU VERY MUCH! It is ok to be a little sad when you think about home, but try to make the most of your time in Seville. You don't have much time left and it will never happen again - like this. Thanks for your honesty, Kristin! We'll talk soon. love you - mom
