Well, I can officially say that I will be home this week! This past week has been all so bittersweet. Last week was my last week of classes! I feel like I just started them yesterday. Yesterday was my birthday, and to celebrate my whole family went to the beach one last time! Sarah, my housemate Kimberly, Margarita, Antonio, Little Margarita and our friend Kristen all went to Almuñecar where our family has an apartment on the beach. It was our friend Kristen's 21st birthday so it was really fun to celebrate our birthdays together! I started my birthday off by getting tapas on friday night with Sarah and Patsy (the Switzerland gals!) which was really fun! My mom and sister called me at midnight from Disney World to sing happy birthday to me :) My mom and I were SO excited because we finally had the same birthday for seven hours because of the time difference!! Our dream finally came true! Then Saturday morning we took the bus to the beach. All day, little Marga was telling me about my birthday surprise and I think she was more excited than anyone for it! After lunch, they brought out a cake and all sang to me. They also got me gifts from Spain such as a beach towel with a flamenco dancer on it that says "costa del sol", hair ties with the Spanish flag on them and a bracelet that I happened to have been wanting! It was sooo sweet of them to make a little birthday celebration for me. They are so awesome!! We spent forever in their apartment just chatting and laughing :) Then we spent the rest of the afternoon back on the beach and we headed back about 8pm! At night a few friends and I went out for Tapas to end the day :) Yesterday also marked one year of Pat and I officially dating! It was sad that we couldn't be together but we managed to skype a few times which is always great & I will be with him in just 6 days!!! So surreal! Today I have been studying for finals all day. I have a final in all of my classes but I don't think that they will be too bad. My last ones are on Thursday and then Saturday at about 4am I am HOME-BOUND! I can't imagine how hard it is going to be to say goodbye to my host family and Granada. It's so crazy to think that I didn't know them or this beautiful place just five months ago. Of course at the same time, I am SO excited to go home to my real family!!! Thanks for all of you who kept up with my blog this semester! See you all soon :) Adios!
