First Entry

Okay I am a new blogger. For a long time now I have been avoiding this crazy thing called blogging... but I have succumbed to the temptations. Mainly because people keep asking me if I have a blog because they want to stay updated on my life for some unknown reason. Needless to say, welcome to my blog.

So I guess I will start with updating you on my life while I am in Madrid. I have been here for three weeks as of tomorrow. It is hard to put into words my experiences so far. I love it here. It is tempting to just stay here forever. Alas, I must come home and go to a crazy thing we call college and get a crazy thing called my degree... maybe I should learn a little more spanish while I'm at it too. Nonetheless, I will be back. What do I love about this place, you ask. Well, here is a short list.
1- The church: I love mountainview; what it stands for, what they are doing, and how they are serving our Lord.
2- The people: I absolutely love the Cady family and other friends I am making in the church
3- The security: I feel a lot safer in Spain then I ever felt in the states. Crime simply does not happen as often.
4- The culture: I have always loved Spanish culture. Minus the ridiculous driving (which I better be used to now after growing up in Chicago and then living in Michigan for two years... no one really knows how to drive. right?)
and the list could go on, but I'll spare you.

So here is my first entry. Whatchya think? I will try to be good about posting regularly... or semi-regularly.
