I am officially an aunt times 10 today.


nieces and nephews bring so much joy.
i just love them.

Welcome to Earth, Jayda Fagrell.

can't wait to meet you.

Love, aunt nat.

A year ago today I started on one of the best things life has given me.
My Peruvian Adventure.
Today I am feeling a little sad that I'm not doing the same thing again.
I really feel like during that time I grew so much as a person.
I mean, I was thrown into this random country,
worked at a hospital,
and didn't know spanish.
It was great.
I loved every second figuring things out.

People always ask me:
"Oh, how was Peru?"
I usually respond. "Amazing, I'd go back any second!" (understatment)
"Really, you would?"
"oh yeah, definitely."

I really truly loved everything about Peru to the people, the food, the culture,
the language, the history, the honking taxi's, and the high altitude.

Today is a tribute to Peru. Talia and I are going to her families to eat dinner.
Lomo Saltado. Famous Peruvian Meal.
I'm going to look at all my Peruvian pictures, once or twice.
I'm going to look back at my journal.
and mostly, going to be grateful for this experience that still means so much to my heart.

Gracias Peru. para todos. nos vemos.
