First!

So I guess this is my first blog entry, let's start it out with a bang!

Today Michelle and I bought our plane tickets for Spain! We're leaving August 17th for Bilbao to stay with her old host family. I'm so excited to be going with her! I've never been to the Basque country, the last time I was in Spain we only went to Andalucía and the Madrid area. After buying the tickets we called her host mom, Arantza, who was enjoying a glorious day on the beach (jealous!). She was so precious, she told Michelle to give me and everyone else un beso. Best part: I actually understood everything she said! That makes me excited cause I was a little worried about my listening comprehension; I mean it's one thing to be able to understand your Spanish professor but it's another thing trying to understand a native speaker. God I'm soooo excited! This summer is going to go by so slow.....

80 days to go.
