Update

Okay…I know I'm really, really bad at keeping up with this blog. I've decided I'm going to make a real effort to blog at least once a week from now on about life in Spain. I've realized we have less than a year left here…yikes! I started this blog with the idea that I would write about cool things to do around here, restaurants to visit, trips to go on, etc. but I think for this last year in Spain I'm just going to write about day to day stuff with our family. Basically, what it's like for my family to live in southern Spain and the exciting things we get to do here and also the not so exciting things…because although we are living in Europe sometimes we stay home all weekend and do nothing! If I can keep up with this, like I say I'm going to do, then it will be a really nice reminder of our last year in Spain and hopefully something the girls can read later on and appreciate!

Her haircut wasn't nearly
as traumatic for me.

I was going to end there for today but here's a brief story that happened today and why being in Spain can sometimes be frustrating. I took the girls to get their haircut at the base salon today…however all Spanish locals work there. Therefore, English is their second language and Spanish is not even my second language because I can basically order food at a restaurant and check out at the local grocery store. I told the hairdresser I wanted a few inches cut off of Lily's hair. I cannot describe what happened next accurately. She grabbed all of her hair, as if she was going to put it in a low ponytail, and cut all the way across her neck. I completely freaked out and had to go to the bathroom so I wouldn't meltdown right there. At this point there wasn't anything to do about it anyway and I didn't want the girls to see their mom crying like a lunatic. Eight hours later and I'm feeling okay about it. She loves it and it does look really cute…and it will grow back!
