I'm back....4 years later!

Hey all!  Just popping by to give a little update...

I came back to this blog a couple weeks ago, after starting a new one.  Man, I used to be inspired!  I guess now I'm just old and tired, so I am less original in my posts...haha!

But here's the update.  Renato and I got married in 2014, and we had a baby girl in January 2016.  We are still living in Brazil, and loving life!  I am a stay-at-home-mom, which was my childhood dream, and I also teach private English classes.  Oh, and I make and sell American sweets too, so that's fun.  That has shown down a bit lately, but I'm not sure why.  It's okay; I am hoping it will pick up again with the holidays coming!  I started another blog, which I hope you all follow me at

baianamericana.blogspot.com

I have been amazed by all the views this blog has had, even in my long absence.  I could really use your help and support over on my new blog!  I started it in English, but am working on translating my first posts into Portuguese as well, and future posts will be in both languages.  It is a blog about my ramblings, basically....I have talked about about my daughter, and about my and my husband's story.  It is in the beginning stages, but it will probably end up being just a compilation of my ramblings, much like this one, but I suppose my thoughts and ideas have evolved, as is natural in life!

Thanks for all your support and love over the years!  I am leaving this blog open, but I think all future updates will be on the new one.  Hope to see you there, with page views and comments!

Sometimes you don't realize how much you love people until they're gone.


Sometimes you don't realize how much you appreciate someone until you don't see them anymore.


Sometimes you don't realize how much you care about someone until you can't talk to them anymore.


Sometimes you don't realize how close you are to someone until they get busy and aren't around as much.


Sometimes you don't realize how much you still care about someone until they re-enter your life.


Sometimes you don't realize how much you like your job until it's over.


Sometimes you don't realize how near the end/beginning is until you count the days.


Sometimes you don't realize how much you like someone until they break your heart.


Sometimes you don't realize how cautious you're being until someone slips right through your fingers.


Sometimes you don't realize how carefree you're being until you get hurt.


Sometimes you don't realize how much someone affects you…

I finally did it!

I deactivated my facebook account! Sure, it's still there and all I have to do is log in to see it again, but I'm okay with that, because I don't plan to be done with it forever. I just need a break from it for now...for a few reasons. Mainly, I miss real life...I miss how people used to actually talk to each other, and not just post on each other's walls. I still have email, but I need a break from the whole facebook scene.

And today is Saint Patrick's Day! I was invited to go to a party tonight in honor of the day, which I'm wicked excited about, because this day is not celebrated enough out here- I guess there aren't enough Irish Catholics here, as opposed to Boston. It's hard to find anything Saint Patrick's Day-related in stores, too. Trust me, I looked. Oh, and I have another thing to add to my bucket list: be in Ireland on Saint Patrick's Day sometime.

We're working on the waltz in my dance class. It's pretty awesome...because I l…

What do all these things have in common?  I have tons of memories.  They are triggered by random things, and sometimes by combinations that don't seem to match up.  Each of these pairs reminds me of someone.  I have so many more, that this post would be forever long if I listed the…
