nashville sunset...here i am, back in nashvegas for a little while until i get my visa. this whole process has taught me a lot about myself....here are a few of those things... 1) i am not a patient person, 2) it is possible for me to drink too many diet dr peppers in one day, 3) i love sunsets and still seem to miss them most days, 4) i am blessed beyond my thankfulness and my understanding

this is my dog, snuggles, who is scared of absolutely EVERYthing, especially the camera, so why is he up in my face?! i don't know, but i've been trying to do camera therapy with him to help him over one of his fears...so far it seems to be working! :) 

awww...can you tell we are related? who doesn't want some sister time?!  

i think that either that is his cheesy grin, or dad is super happy about driving the car! haha..i mean i was after three months of no wheels! 

sounding board

so i've noticed lately that i am often living in auto-pilot (is that how you spell that lindsey?!..haha). what i mean by that statement, is i'm often living from week to week or day to day and forget to look for what i am learning. it is so easy to pass along in this haze and be unaware to the truths that i am learning. maybe this blog can be a sounding board for some of the crazy thoughts that go through my head and the truths that i am becoming aware of in my own life.

this is me with one of dozens...probably hundreds of yellow arrows around the city, pointing me towards santiago de compostela. the yellow arrows guide the pilgrams each year to santiago...hmm..i loved my two months in santiago, so these arrows are fun reminders of friends and places that i care about on the other side of spain 

me in my new city...hmmm...it is HUGE! i'm getting schooled in how to live as a big-city girl..watch out nashville! haha.. 

amanda and i at parque güell, gaudi's park in barcelona...who knew gaudi could even mosaic a lizard...can mosaic be a verb?!  

roof of the gaudi casa battló...i kind of felt like i was standing on the back of a big lizard...the playfulness and color is some of what i appreciate about gaudi  

cloudy day at the beach, but nonetheless incredible! this was just seconds before we decided to get our feet wet and haha...a wave came out of nowhere! errr...good thing i live fairly close. :) 

the port here in barcelona 

anybody like shrimp? 

can you find amanda and i?! we thought this might be a fun way to actually get a picture of the two of us neat the port. we are the two crazies just above the center. 

my new apartment...ahhemm..i mean..casa battló, another creation of gaudi. it just seems like it is from some other place...i'd love to know a little of what was going on in gaudi's mind!  

gaudi's attention to and creativity in detail is still considered innovative....i could have stayed here all day! 

the outside of the sagrada familia. it is still under construction and has been for 123 years when gaudi began it in 1882.  

the ceiling...everything is so ornate 

one of the windows of the sagrada familia...UNBELIEVABLE!  

would any trip to a big city be complete without a trip to my favorite place EV-ER?! i must admit i have a problem...can anyone else say they've been 9 times in the past 5 days?!
