bye-bye Wisconsin {insert crying here}

So our trip came to an end yesterday and we got back to Costa Rica pretty late at night. Today I woke up feeling like a bag a dirt. I can't even begin to explain, I had a sore throat, stuffy nose, achey joints, tired eyes...and semi-hurting heart.


I miss my dear friends. A LOT. But it's really good to be back home and see Jose's smiling face and embracing hugs...and sniff him :) yum.

Note: the teething rash :( she popped 3 teeth in one week, 2 molars and one in the front on the bottom...she has a few more on the way..blahhhhh

I have a few goody pictures to share. But first I just have to say that I am just blown out of the water!!! I was not expecting to get to 100 so fast. And not just to 100 but I logged on today and 112?!?!?!? Did I hallucinate or is this fah-real? mmm, mmm, mmmmm :) Well thank you! I have a lot of catching up to do and people to meet and reading to take on! Can't wait to meet you all!

As for the giveaway, details will follow in a few short days when I get everything together and handled! So be super super super excited! I wasn't expecting to get to 100 so fast. Jose and I made bets and everything, and you blew us both out of the water!


Wisconsin was just a blast. We stayed with my best friend Elizabeth and I promise that tomorrow you'll get a full picture update!!! But Elizabeth has a dog named Chloe and well...Maia and Chloe left as bestest friends and I can imagine that she's very lonely now :( both of them. But more so Chloe and she is no longer getting fed under the table...shhhhhh.


We just had a wonderful time and I can't thank Elizabeth enough for lending her room and space and couch and chairs and food and plates and car and everythinggggg!!! To us! It was a wonderfully, AMAZING trip that I left with lots of memories...*tear* And Maia, AGREEESSSS 150%
