{Beauty}

Tomorrow, my dearest grandma has birthday. 

I so desperately hope that someday, one day, I become more like her. 

I love:

Her patient spirit

Her faithfulness in the Lord

Her joy in small things

Her desire to spend individual quality time with all her grandkids

Going on lunch dates with her

The giant smile on her face when you come unannounced to her house 

The way she asks you "a penny for your thoughts" when your mind is lost in space

Her timeless beauty 

Her exquisite taste in clothing

Her mouth watering oatmeal raisin cookies

Her

I love her

With a sky more blue than anything my eyes had ever seen, we breathed in the beauty of Park Guell

{Spain}

Over and over again we would bring our Spain trip up in various conversations. It seemed like whenever things (during exams) got a tad bit stressful the only comforting words that we needed were "We still have Spain"

I must admit that I have never had a desire to go to Spain. It is not that I assumed it was lacking in beauty or excitement...but more or less that the desire was just never present.
My feelings towards Spain have taken a drastic turn. I feel as though every time I go to a new place in Europe...I always declare it as "the most amazing place I have ever been to." But now that my travels have come to an end, I feel confident in declaring Spain as the most wonderful place I have ever visited.
Two days in Barcelona was just enough for us to experience the colors, food, drinks, beaches and vibes of the city. 

Sun-kissed and salty from the Mediterranean, we explored Barcelona as the last adventure of our study abroad experience.
