a purpose

Alrighty mother dear [and other readers if any], I have caved.  

As much as I would like to stay away from being a "blogger," there were a few things that made me realize I should probably just go ahead and make a blog for Spain:

[1] The number of times you have asked me to make a blog.

[2] The sad look on your face when you found out my Oviedo blog has to be written in Spanish.

[3] The fact that Mother's Day is this Sunday, and I can't really think of a present that you would like more.

[4] Tricia told me that I'm boring because I never do a Facebook "status."

In this blog, I will try to answer any and all questions I feel that you would ask, and I will make sure to post a lot of pictures.  I considered having the color scheme of this blog be tan, beige, white, cream, and ivory . . . but I just couldn't bring myself to do that.  Sorry.  [I still love you though.]

So, here is your Mother's Day 2011 present--a blog dedicated to you.
