Another visit from Spain!!!! wohooo!

These last 10 days we have been able to spend some time with my brother, sister-in-law, and niece!!! They came from Spain to see us, and we had a great time!!! I laughed so much, so hard!!! It was amazing!!! We hadn't met our niece since she was born! She was born in december and due to my paperwork (renewing my visa), we weren't able to go meet her....my sister also had a baby 2 weeks after, and we haven't met him yet! But we can't wait!!!! So on this trip, we had the chance to meet our little niece! she just smiles, laughs, makes little noises all the time! she's just so cute and so adorable!!!! Nate got really attached to her, and she looked so happy and had so much fun when Nate was holding her! (man, I can't wait to have a baby to see Nate like that with our children! it was just too cute!)
We ate a lot, went shopping a lot, visited a bunch of places, etc. We celebrated Nate's birthday at a huge house that a family of our church let us use. It was a blessing! We went to Alabama for a weekend and got to see the Space Rocket Center (which I loved, I love those kinds of things!) Sunday was Nate's actual birthday, so we went to celebrate it to a restaurant. I was so excited about them singing happy birthday to him and giving him a brownie!! I asked the waiter if they could do it, and he said that they stopped doing that a long time ago! what? who does that? that's the whole point of going to a restaurant for somebody's birthday! I was so disappointed! but oh well! it was Nate's birthday, so I still enjoyed it! I love him so much! And he looks so cute in that H & M outfit I got him, hehe
We did a family photo shoot, and a studio photo shoot for the baby.
We visited Gatlinburg, and they liked it a lot! it's so unique! It was freezing though, but a lot of fun! And the last day we went to Atlanta (airport) and stopped at the World of Coca Cola! It was a lot of fun, though kind of fast because we were late for the airport, lol but we loved it, and of course, the last room being able to try Coca-cola products from all around the world was amazing! I would go again just for that room! it's so cool!
They left yesterday, right after the visit to the World of Coca-cola.... it was so sad this morning, when Nate and I had to wake up without my little niece's noises and giggles.... Her cute little noises is what woke us up every day during these last 10 days! I can't wait to see them again! Here are some pics from yesterday! We didn't really take a lot, because we filmed most of the time. Nate wasn't able to come because of work.

Fun with out Spanish friends!

This last 5 days, we got to spend some time with our friends from Spain! They went to New York for vacation and came to TN to visit us! We were so excited! We spent friday night in GA, and I got to see my friend Deborah! and we spent saturday in Atlanta. Our friend Deborah took us to Dunkin Donuts for breakfast and then we left for the World of Coca Cola! it was so fun! My favorite part was when at the end we were able to try a lot of Coca-cola products from many continents! I love all international things!
We finally went to Zara, which is my favorite store ever!!! It took us a while to find the mall where it was, but it was worth it :) I found so many stores that I did not know I could find in the US! Like Tous!!! I loved that mall, now I won't wanna shop anywhere else, lol and we went to H & M also! I love shopping and I missed going to those stores! And my wonderful husband got me an outfit and a dress! wohooo! 
On Sunday we went to church, and at night we went to Gatlinburg. I love Gatlinburg at night! so cute! So we walked around and drove around and took a lot of pictures!
On Monday we went to Pigeon Forge for more shopping for them and got some Bruster's ice-cream. And on Tuesday we took it easy! We had the chance to do a photo shoot for them though! They were so easy to take pictures of! So sweet to each other! Then we went home and made cookies for the trip. And btw, they have been cooking a lot all these days for us! We loved it! They're so good at cooking!
And today, we took them back to the airport! I'm going to miss them! We spent some time in the airport having some coffee (peppermint mocha, mmmm), and talked, and when they left we went to H & M to buy Nate's birthday present really quick.... he doesn't know what it is, but I can't wait to give it to him!
The bad part of all this.... I got sick on monday night, and Nate got sick on tuesday. I feel so much better now, but Nate feels really sick... my poor nene! so he is in bed, and I'm trying to take care of him! I hate seeing him like that :( So pray for him if you can!

Here are some pics!!!
