How cool is it that I have a BFF named Anna who lives in Belgium? Anna and I met in grad school at Colorado State University-Pueblo over two years ago (and I can't believe it's been that long already). We completed the MBA program together. At the time, she was engaged to Mike, an Army SF guy who was deployed--and Malu was deployed as well. So not only did we bond over school, but we shared the difficulties of being without our loves--and had so much fun in the process.
Anna is actually originally from Europe--she came to the states as an international student from Germany. She not only speaks German fluently (because she grew up there), but she is Italian and Portuguese (and speaks those languages too--I think). She and Mike are now married; they have a cute dog named Howard and are stationed in Belgium. I sooooo can't wait to visit them when we get to Germany. They're only 4 hours away!
Anyhoo...Anna and Mike were so kind as to send Baby Vaiosina a package with tons of goodies!
LOVE the lady bug onesie and the shorts and plaid shirt from H&M! Too cute! And Anna definitely knows how much I LOVE German chocolate. She sent me tons of it!
So Anna and Mike...thanks for thinking of us! We love you and will see you soon!
