Two Weeks

It’s been about two weeks since I have last posted and I would like to extend an apology. One of those weeks was because I was at the lake house and I would completely forget the limited time that I had wifi. I always remembered right after but that was obviously no help. And the second week was just because I completely forgot. So let’s just post general highlights!

Week at the lake house:kayaking, paddle boarding, and taking more me time than I usually do. 

Last week:

Monday: Coming home from being gone all week. 

Tuesday: Dinner with Grace and her family who were visiting from the USA.

Wednesday: Challenging the girls to swallow water while being in a handstand. 

Thursday: Finally getting a good night’s sleep!

Friday: Hanging out with Marie!!

Saturday: Checking out the Pozuelo night scene with Grace #PozueloGirls

Sunday: Hanging out with my host while we watched the Real Madrid v Barcelona game. It is not my highlight that Real Madrid lost. 

Work Outs and Drop Off

Monday: Finally getting a work out in after who know how long. The Bikini Series is coming up so I have to get back into working out everyday. 

Tuesday: Dropping my host mom off at her mom’s house and driving the car back by myself. There’s something about driving to me that I love and am able to just have me time…even with others in the car.
