So, I applied for the summer study abroad program at school, not thinking I would get it, and I did.... So I'm off to Valladolid, Spain. I'm sad about leaving my Loli, but she'll be staying with Cris since they're moving back for good. I know Lauren will love to do that. She doesn't know yet, but I'm taking her to Disney World in November. A friend I went to school is not an Authorized Disney World Vacation planner, you can check out her website here. She got us an amazing deal! (less than $900 for the both of us, including air/hotel) So needless to say, she'll have a blast since she's never been!
About the trip to Spain, there's a group of 22 people going.. and we get to study at one of the oldest universities in Spain, I cannot wait to take tons of pictures. You can check out this cute little video about the program here.
I had the option of choosing to stay with a host family or live in one of the dorms at the University, so I made the decision to stay with the host family... I figured I'll be there for a month,I so might as well immerse myself in the culture to really appreciate it (even though I'll probably feel awkward, and I'm not too crazy about Spanish food).
We go to school Mon-Fri and for 4 hours a day, and I am planning 2 weekend trips. One to Paris to see my friend Issa, and then to Brussels with him. The other trip to either Barcelona or Valencia, can't decided which cousins to go see. I'm so grateful to be able to go, financial aid is covering the entire trip, and hopefully I'll be able to get a scholarship too.
Anyway, I just had to inform you guys... Until next time~
BTW, Congrats to Kelli on her upcoming arrival. ;)

That is so cool! I am so excited for you. I second Ashley, we'll have to get together before you go. When is Cristina moving back?
That is SO cool Grace!!! I'm even a little jealous. :) Take tons of pictures so we can all live thru you on this trip. I'm proud of all you've accomplished and for going back to school...that is so hard to do! Love you!

Of course, Kristen. I just sent it. It is nice catching up with old friends, huh? And I know I've never met Justin's wife, but she seems so cool from her blog.
