Alright everyone I know my blog has been a huge disapointment but I feel like I owe you all a nice long blog. Felicia and I have been lacking in the internet department since we've been to Spain but we finally have wi-fi (how this came about will be explained later!).
When we arrived here we did not know what our family would be like and we had not had contact with them at all. We knew their address and that was pretty much it. We were very surprised when we had been placed with a family of HEAVY smokers. The entire house reeked of smoke and unfortunately all of our stuff did also. I was somewhat disappointed with that whole situation and my mom was very surprised that BYU would allow us to stay with a family of smokers. She told me I should talk to my director and see if there was anything that could be done about the situtation. Well I am not the person who wants to cause any sort of problems and I was about 95% sure that nothing would be done so Felicia and I decided to grin and bear it. After all Life was good and we were in SPAIN.
Well mothers do know best and as it turns out we were not supposed to be staying with a smoking family. The university had to move us to a new location and that is now our current residence. We are living the life of luxury here for sure! Clean air, a mini gym, and WI-FI all in the same place-how did we get to be so lucky? Our little palace is quite the hang out for exchange students. There are 4 other exchange students living here also (3 Brazilians, and one Mexican) so I am sure dinner time is going to be quite the experience.
Aside from this little mixup life is grand and I have great news . . . I am going to PoRtUgAl! Felicia and I have plane tickets and we are so excited to go with a group of friends from Spain February 3rd. Well as they say a picture is worth a thousand words so here a few more from Spain.

ReplyDeleteI'm so happy I stumbled across this today. I HAD NO IDEA YOU WERE IN SPAIN!!! not yet at least. Am I a sorry friend or what? It sounds like you're having quite the adventure! I can't wait to stay tuned and see where it takes you.
Also...I have a few questions for you. One of my YW (does that not make me sound like a total g-ma? sheesh!) just got accepted to BYU-I. I told her I had a friend who made the trek up there and could maybe give me some insight on housing and such. Do you have an email I could forward a few questions to? It'll be short and sweet. I promise!
Anyway, miss you bunches (even more now that I know you're overseas). See the world for me okay?! :)
always,
Chels
Chelsey! It is so good to hear from you. Of course I will be more than happy to answer some questions just send the email to my school account dea08002@byui.edu. Hopefully I have information that can help you and your young woman! I miss you too we definitely need to have a reunion or something soon
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures Kailie. I went to the gym with your mom this morning, and she said you are having the time of your life. Please tell Felicia, "HOLA!"
