I'm Back, sort of...

Wow, it has been a while. Sorry to all my faithful readers, all 3 of you. I kind of have an excuse though, if you'll let me use it. I was home in Grand Rapids for a week and since I've been back, I've been trying to get back into the swing of things with jet lag. I left for the states on Monday June 5th and returned to Madrid on Tuesday June 13th. I realized from this trip, that when you've been out of the country for 5 months, a one week visit is not long enough; especially when half of it is taken up with wedding stuff. My brother got married on Saturday June 10th. It was such a perfect day! He looked so handsome and Mandace (my new sister-in-law) looked beautiful. The weather was perfect and it was an all around great time. During the week I was able to see friends, family, and enjoy some of the conviences of America, such as Meijer. It was just such a great trip. I would like to write more about it, but that will come later. I have posted just a couple of pictures and you'll have to check my webshots album later to see the rest of them. I don't have them all posted yet. It could be a couple of weeks though as my roommate Kelly and I leave for vacation tomorrow morning at about 4 am. I am so excited, we are going to Prague. Anyone that I've ever talked to that has traveled through Europe always says to visit Prague. I'm sure it will be incredible! Some of my roots are Czech too. That's were the name Swacina is from. Well, I'll be sure to write more after this trip and I get back into normal life. Thanks for being patient in the meantime. Until later...
