SNOW DAY! (MEANS WORK REMOTE)

While everyone is complaining about all this "crappy weather" and snow storms that we've been getting, I'm secretly loving it. (And want more of it)

BOLIVIA 2015

Traveling to South America and experiencing all it has to offer, has definitely been one of the best experiences of my life. Bolivia is a beautiful country with so much history and character. We got to visit a few cities a see many breathtaking sights including La Paz, Oruro (for Carnaval), Copacabana (Lake Titicaca), and Los Yungas! Aside from all that, I got to meet some more of Andres's family that I hadn't had the chance to meet yet, the more family the merrier!

EMILIANA IS TWO! (...& BLOGIVERSARY)

It's finally happened, my niece is a two year old! As much as I love to watch her grow, it also hurts at the same time. She's already so smart; speaks english and spanish, counts, sings, and knows what she wants at all times. I love her infinitely and can't wait to see what good things life brings her way on her tiny little 2nd year of life.

My sister outdid herself (again, as usual) with her amazing decor and hosting skills. As if the all homemade food and cake weren't enough, she still finds time to put things together like a DIY light up twinkle sign and a star strung banner to hang around the ceiling. AMAZE!

P.S. It's also been year since I started my blog, and I'm pretty proud I've still kept it going. My first post was when Emi turned one (see it here) and I love the fact that her special day was what gave me that extra push I needed to finally start something I've always wanted to do. Thanks Emi!

Happy Birthday mi chiquitita, te amo! Photos and a video I put together, below :)

THROWBACK - EUROPE 2009

So basically I'm traveling to South America twice this year, and all I can think about from now until then is "HURRY UP, TIME!" I'm visiting Andres's home country (Bolivia) in February, and then visiting my family's home country (Colombia) in May. Since travel is all I can think about lately, I went digging for some of our photos from our trip to Europe that we took in 2009 (I was 20 - seems like ages ago), and thought I'd share and reminisce a little on the thought of vacation!

We had gone to Czech Republic to visit my (now) sister-in-laws family who lives in Plzen and got to tour around a few cities including Prague. Then, since the countries are all pretty close by we hopped on a beautiful train ride to Italy where we got to hang out and visit our friend who lived in Verona.

Sidenote: These pictures were taken during my pre-DSLR days, so I kinda have to hand it to my trusty Sony Cybershot for being capable of capturing such amazing sceneries! Enjoy :)
