The blog is back!!

I re-vamped my blog a little (ok really the only thing I changed was the title and the description) because I am going to have more bloggable adventures in the very near future! And when I say very near future, I'm talking about in precisely 22 days and 15 hours. It's so crazy! The fact that I am going doesn't even feel real yet.

A lot of people have asked me how I got the au pair job, but basically I just applied through an agency and based on your preferences they try to find you a match. They were VERY efficient and found me a match like a week after my application was in. I got a call while I was visiting my friend Caitlin (from my first Valencia adventure, see posts below) in Florida for Spring Break. My Spanish dad, Raul, speaks very good English, but his wife, Alicia, doesn't really speak any at all. They have two daughters Andrea, 4 years old, and Alicia, 8 months old, who I will be taking care of while their parents both work during the summer.

I have pictures of my family, but I feel like posting them will be an invasion of their privacy haha...I'll just wait until I have pictures WITH them... then I will feel much less creepy. For now, here is a picture of Pobla de Farnals, the town I will be staying in. My house is apparently 50 meters from the beach (hard life right? ha).



So I'm just waiting out the rest of May, enjoying time with friends in Newport News. Then I will have a week with my family at home and then it's off to Spain. I know it's going to be a much different experience than last time, but I can't wait to see how I grow and learn. Bring it on, Spain Adventure Part II!!!
