Hi Madre! Sorry for not posting in a while. I’ve been all too consumed with EUROCOPA 2008 to take time out of my busy futbol watching schedule! Tonight we, er, Spain, won the Europe Cup against Germany.

I so wanted to call each and every German exchange student we ever had and obnoxiously cheer into their voice mail box (Florian above all). My boyfriend, Iker Casillas, is fantastic. He’s super excited about winning and hardly had to do anything, Spain was playing so well. That’s good for me because he needs to save his energy for things like cleaning the house and rubbing my pies (pies = feet, duh!).
My other boyfriend (the Italian one) is bummed because last week they lost to Spain in overtime. Dang penalty kicks! So he had to seek refuge in his native country during the championship. Surely he and all his non-champion friends didn’t so much as peek at the TV all night and drowned their sorrows in fettuccine (who could blame them?) He’ll be home soon though.
We are both getting so excited for the trip! My room is all packed away and in 2 days a French girl will come to sub-let for 3 months. Our new roommate Carolina is precious. She is from Colombia and seems to fit in perfectly with the three of us. Will post pictures of her soon.
Nathan Buhr came to visit. He was wrapping up his European tour and running low on funds, so our plans to go to San Fermines (the running of the bulls) together are canceled. Another friend from college is passing through Spain around that time, so I might still end up going.
Well, tomorrow I have to work so better get off to bed! Iker won’t be home til morning anyway! Kisses! KB
P.S. Outside my window there is a group of people playing “We Are the Champions” on a huge ghettoblaster. I can hear it clear as day and I’m six stories up. I assume this will continue until day break. I’m not even exaggerating.

I saw Dr. Buhr, he knew me as “Kelly’s mom”, said that he told N to take you out to a fantastic restaurant while he was in town and it would be his treat. Did that happen???? I picked out carpet and I’m waiting for the men to come measure and order…then 2 weeks to deliver, then depending on their schedule…when will it be laid???So, sounds like things will be a wreck when you visit, but hopefully taken care of soon. I am so sick of the old stuff. i am pulling all the furniture out of your room, stacking it in the dining room…you will have to sleep on mattresses when you arrive…maybe in the basement until things get sorted out. Love you much, mom
