Day 2: Alcala de henares/ Madrid
Day 3: Barcelona, Spain
Day 4: Barcelona
Day 5: The Pyrenees (and I am going hiking, yeah!), Spain, and maybe over the border into France since one of the hotels we are considering is only 8 miles from the border
Day 6: The Pyrenees
Day 7: Rome, Italy
Day 8: Rome, Italy
Day 9: Madrid
Day 10: Return home

I can't wait!!!

Bone Tired

I am that ridiculous kind of tired today where your whole body just hurts, ya know? But it was worth it. Dan took me to Boulder for the KU-CU game last night. It was great! We dropped Noah off with my friend Kristi and then drove to Boulder for some sushi (and sake for me!). Then we parked and walked over to the stadium. It was nuts and there were tons of Jayhawk fans there, some with signs that said things like "Welcome to Allen Field House West." I was so freakin' excited to be there.

The game started off great, with KU leading by lots. But by halftime, CU was challenging their lead. In the second half, they closed the gap and with one minute to go, CU actually took the lead. I was freaking out. There was no reason that the #1 team in the country was having such a hard time with the third to lowest ranked team in the Big 12. I think it was kind of a "let down" game after struggling with #13 K-State in Manhattan last weekend. And they were pretty clearly struggling with the altitude, especially Aldrich.

Anyway, at the end of regulation it was tied, and then KU got it together in overtime and won! It was so much fun and so great to be able to see the Jayhawks in person. Thanks Dan! Best present ever!!!

One Down, Eleven to Go

I am done with my first course towards my degree in Educational Administration. That means I have 11 left. I can't wait to have it all done. Should be just over a year, especially if I double up on classes this summer. My next class starts Sunday which means no homework for a whole week!!!

Triple Bypass

My nut job of a husband signed up for this yesterday:

Adios... See You Soon, Amanda!

My little sister left for Spain today. She will be there for four months finishing up her degree. I am so excited for her! I am doubly excited because my mom and I are going to see her at the end of March! Check out her blog by clicking here. She will be in a town outside of Madrid called Alcala. I can't wait to go visit!!!
