Arriving in Spain and enjoying a welcome lunch on my first day.
Today, February 1st marks the day I flew into Spain one year ago to start this new life. What a year it has been! That first week was so lovely settling in, easing in and I feel like this past month has also been all about easing into the year. 2013 certainly flew by!
So many things made me smile during this first year and here are just 30 ish….! Yes it was tricky to condense down to just 30! Image may be NSFW.

I cannot wait for year 2!

Looking back, I realised how little I shared here on the blog about #lifeinspain, so one of my goals for this year is to share more for my own journal as well as show you a few little snippets which I hope will inspire you as I am inspired every single day.
Until next time. xxx
