I can't believe it's been two months since I've posted, I must be the worst blogger ever. The past couple months have flown by, between the holidays and my trip home I've been running around like a crazy person since my semester ended. Having officially been back in Laguna and on real vacation for a week, I decided it was time to finally play catch up here on the blog.For the first time ever, hubs and I exchanged gifts for Christmas. As you can see
holidays haven't always been easy for us in Chile. This year we decided to start our own Christmas tradition, something totally different from the homesickness-inducing wintry traditions of home - surfing (!) We got up early and went to our favorite 'surfing beach for people who don't really know how to surf' in La Boca, Con Con - it's perfect for beginners. As always I got burnt to a crisp but we had a blast. Afterwards we headed to a good friend's place for a BBQ; we both agreed it was the best holiday we had had in a long time.

January marked the end of our highly anticipated deck project - hubs worked long and hard to finish it in time for summer and man, he did a great job. It's been absolutely perfect for yoga and parties (though generally not at the same time) and adds a ton of livable space to our small house. Dogs and plants like it too.

So now I'm home (the other one) and trying to focus on what's right in front of me - a shared garden that just started producing tons of big heirloom tomatoes, a couple of pups who can't get enough playtime and a new deck that's perfect for a chair and a beach read.
