9 MONTHS!

happy monthiverrsary to me and Brandon! Because as of today we have officially be dating for 9 months, and I'm pretty excited about that! God is so good...I am dating such an amazing Man of God...which in turn makes him just flat out a great man! :) I'm lucky. One thing that I'll share with you that I've learned about Brandon since being here, or realized more about him since being here is his patience. Patience is a virtue that I most appreciate about God, one of the things I'm most thankful for because without it I would not be here I am today. And since being here, God has really shown me the patience that Brandon has...in everything. not just with me...but with everything...like there being a 7 hour difference between us, or the fact that there's a whole ocean between us...He remains so patient and just reminds me that God has us where He has us for a reason, part of which we have no idea...so I just wanted to share a little bit of that with you and brag a little about my man, cuz he's amazing and I'm excited about our relationship. If you know Him you know exactly what I'm talking about...and if you don't, I hope you get the chance to meet him someday, then you'll know what I'm talking about! :) So happy 9 Months Babe!

As far as school goes and life here its all good...todo bueno! I'm am so tired, staying up late as is the Spanish Custom, for example tonight we didn't leave the table until like 12:12 pm, cuz we were just talking and enjoying life...which was so fun because our "mama" had a friend over and we just talked and talked...and he was so great, they're both so good at correcting us and explaining things and I think my Spanish is improving. Also because I know some of you are praying for this, but I have been more BOLD in my Spanish, and that makes me excited because thats how I'm going to improve! So I'm doing well...Oh this weekend we have a holiday on Monday, so me and 5 other girls are going to Malaga! Which is in the South of Spain on the BEACH! WOHOO! :) we're stoked, we're actually staying with my Grandpa Payne's first cousin, who I found out existed when I decided to come to Spain! So we are all so excited about it!
But more on that later, for now...I really need some sleep...everyone is battling colds and sickness so I guess a HUGE prayer would be health, I really don't want to get sick! So just for the people who are sick and then for continued health for me! Thank you so much for all your prayers...much love!
