I Miss You...

I am loving every single moment here in Spain, soaking up as much culture and diversity as I can. However, I would be lying if I said that I wasn't missing anything from the United States.

My Number 1: My Family & My Nick

It is difficult. I knew my semester here in Spain was going to be a challenge. I knew that I would miss people and things, but not this much. This experience is extremely difficult and anyone who tells you it's not, they are lying. Yes, I have had some amazing days and I think that I would never want to go back to the United States. On the other side, there are plenty of days where I wish I could snuggle up on my couch in my baggy sweatpants, with a cup of coffee with peppermint mocha cream, and watching a movie with Nick. Also, I miss the camaraderie between my mom, dad, and brothers. I miss the jokes, the silly inside dumb comments, that no one would understand BUT them. I miss the simple conversations with my mom about what she bought at the grocery store and what good deals she got. I miss laughing until I almost cry with my dad with his stupid humor (about Moe Moe), that I absolutely LOVE. I miss my brothers because right before I left, I felt so close to them. I was able to talk to them and have real conversations with them, more than 5 words. I miss my family.

My Number 2: Football
Oh my gosh, this has been so difficult for me. I haven't watched a single football game on TV. Yes, I watched a couple of Nick's games on the computer, but it's just not the same. The time difference is so big that games are on super late here and I usually am too tired. I miss the competition, football parties, drinks and amazing food, and the camaraderie between everyone. It's difficult because I have grown up with football, since I was born. It's been a part of my life for 22 years and I don't think it will ever leave. I love it way to much & enjoy it way to much! PS Go Pack!

Number 3: Mac & Moe
My dogggiesss :) I miss them SO much! I miss them cuddling right up next to me and keeping me warm. I miss taking them for walks! Can't wait to tackle these little guys, didn't think I would miss them so much, but I never like being alone and it's nice to just have that little dog right next to ya!

My Number 4: My Friends
I miss you all so much, you have no idea! I miss the silly crazy nights, the long talks, the random events that happen, the conversations, the cries, the laughs, the jokes, the gossip ;) haha just kidding..there is to much to even try to start explaining. I miss you all for all of your very own reason. I love you all and can't wait to see each and every one of you!! :) Love You All, thank you for being here for me, skyping me and talking to me whenever I need anything. You all mean so much and I am so lucky to be a part of your life.

My Number 4: Spicy Food
This may sound ridiculous. I am not kidding you, but their food here is bland and very plain. It's good and healthy, most of the time, but I need that spice. I miss nachos, guacamole, salsa, tacos, burritos, thai food, curry, the list could go on and on. Every since I started dating Nick, I feel like my taste buds are just accustom to that flavor.

My Number 5: Starbacks/Mugby
I love the coffee here, yes, it is delicious. I just miss running through and grabbing a peppermint mocha, a pumpkin spice latte, or a coconut iced coffee.

My Number 6: My Bed
This sounds funny, but it's not a joke. My bed here hurts, I can feel every single spring and bump in the mattress. The first couple weeks were bad, I couldn't even sleep. I guess I am just used to it now, but still there are nights that I wake up and my back is killing me.
