Picky Eaters

Before I went to Spain I was a very picky eater.  I would eat the foods I knew I liked, and I never really eat outside of the bun box. 

In Spain, I lived in a homestay with a Spanish family.  They were fantastic, but knew little English.. which wasn't too big of a dilemma because I can converse well in Spanish. However, sometimes my Spanish mom would go on rants at lunch time and in order to understand Spanish, I would have to pay a lot of attention to what she was saying.  Sometimes my mind just wanted to relax, think about other things.. 

So as she rambled on, I just sat there nodding and eating and thinking about my own things. 

However, often times she would talk about what we were eating, which means I would miss out on what food I was consuming.  This caused me to be not as picky, and just eat what was in front of me and try new things.  

It was good! Because now I'm not very picky when it comes to food.
exception: not a fan of chili. 
I've noticed lately that my "picky" tendencies are coming back though.  
and I need to stop! 

I got a drink from Starbucks a bit ago, and because it looked weird, I wasn't to keen on drinking it.  
But who cares! I should definitely not! 
At least I have the ability to order and buy a Starbucks drink.
I need to be more thankful (and reread my previous blog post). 

Moral of this blog post... Don't be picky! Just enjoy the fact that you have food to eat and drinks to slurp down. 

Anyways, 
back to studying. 

Love love love.

No words needed.

Names are only so helpful--> but pictures! That's what draws people in.  Could be a memory of a time, or the feeling you get when you picture yourself in that situation.  The power of photography is huge . Pictures can take you back to a moment you had-- one that you could never go back and repeat, and it gives you joy.  Photography can also cause laughter, and quite frequently--embarrassment.  For those pictures, thankfully there is a delete button.  But compare this post to my last one.  Instead of the names of all of the cities and countries to visit on a Eurotrip , try pictures .  See if it entices you more.  These pictures correlate with the list of cities in my previous blogpost... but I will have to split it in half and show you the first fifteen in this post, the last 16 in the next.. :)

Typhoons, Tokyo, and Taylor Swift

We just went into TCCOR 1 ( T ropical C yclone C onditions o f R eadiness), which means destructive sustained winds of 50 knots or greater are expected within 12 hours... kind of scary,  but more so kind of exciting!  This will be our first typhoon that we are going through and as of now, I'm excited!  We've downloaded movies, have lots of snacks and water ready, and I get to spend time with the hubster... what more could I want?! ....  I wrote that last night. and now it's 7:30AM.  Nothing big happened last night, just kind of windy but nothing crazy.  SOOO Arthur and I both got ready for work this morning and just as I finished getting ready and was walking downstairs to my car, Arthur yelled for me to come back up.  We went into TCCOR 1C (Caution) which means no work for the two of us as of now!  YAY!!!

Another year older, another year wiser...

I once saw a quote that said “Today is the oldest you've ever been, and the youngest you'll ever be again.”   It’s kind of crazy to think about that.   A little scary too!   Life is moving quickly and I am the youngest I will ever be again. (Physically, maybe not mentally J ).   I’m not saying that getting older is a bad thing, because with age comes even more blessings every day, I just find it interesting to think that I’m another year older and supposedly another year wiser. Each year I get older means that there will be another year full of surprises, challenges, heartache, love, joy, and knowledge.  I think I get excited about that.  The part that makes me sad about getting older each year is that life has really started to move quickly.  I’ve already been married for almost 11 months- which is crazy because I feel like I just started wedding planning. I’ve already graduated college- something else that blows my mind because I feel like I jus...
