Oh. Hey.

Oh hey there team.
Fancy meeting you here.
Sorry for my lack of bloggyness.
There is no excuse for my type of behavior.
So i'm not going to even try to give you one.

Lets just pretend it never happened and jump right in.

I leave to Portugal tomorrow!
woot woot!
And fret not.
My bff (laptop)
will be coming with me.

So glad I got these new amazing earrings from IHOD for the trip.


Also,
some very important news has come up.
I am coming back to the US of A (California) for TWO weeks at the end of May!
(dates to be confirmed at a later stage)

Why?
Because my mom is awesome and giving one of her kidneys to my aunt,
who is in kidney failure.

insert awkward segway..

Did I mention I was going to Portugal tomorrow?

look.
sun.

  32. Oh cute Meggie girl...I miss you when you are away! Or me...I think everyone has had a little bit of the bloggy doldrums lately...the weather is getting nicer and the schedules are getting full! I'm so jealous you are going to Portugal, I've always wanted to go and test out my Brazilian portuguese there...apparently it's different...I just about split a seam reading your letter to nottingham, if I was drinking, it would have come out my nose. Umm...good time for a segway of my own...oh look! My children are dumping dirt on each other's heads in the backyard for the umteenth time! Precious.

    P.S. on a more serious note, keeping mommy and auntie in the prayers...I can see why they have such a freakin' cool daughter/niece, they sound pretty awesome themselves!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Your mother has a wonderful heart. I don't know her, but anyone who would do that is a giving, selfless person.

    Have fun in Portugal.

    P.S. I wish I had seen your windblown hair photo... It would have been perfect for my post.

    ReplyDelete
  34. How great that your mom is a match! Praying everything goes smoothly for them both.

    You know I have to ask...what part of Cali will you be in? Chica aqui's casa es en central valley-o. Ok I don't speak spanish.

    Not like you'll be near me OR even have time since I'm sure you'll be wanting all things family...but I still felt compelled to ask.

    ReplyDelete
  35. you know, there have been other times i've wanted to hide in your suitcase, but this may be the most pressing urge.

    also, i know very few people who look so sexy with hair in their face.

    xoxo

  36. Portugal, WOW!! I just think it's the coolest thing ever that you're having all of these amazing experiences and traveling all over tarnation!! Yes, tarnation.

  51. Yay Portugal!! Have a grand time! Isn't the sun just lovely? Where I am, it's still a little dreary and the sun hasn't gotten the memo. If I could, it would get a nice punch right to the face. That's not very Christ-like though, is it?

    ReplyDelete
