After writing a kind of sarcastic post a couple of weeks ago, some of you emailed me (now why you just don’t leave a comment is beyond me!!) and let me know that you do read this and that you enjoy it and to please not stop writing. Everyone had their reason for reading, some said they liked to see what we were up to here, others wanted to see how big the kids are getting, while others just thought our adventures were pretty funny…but the best reason I thought was that of my old co worker German, who commented on the last post.

Hello Nuria!!

Como que nadie lee tu blog? entonces como iba yo a seguir aprendiendo inglés?

Y no te preocupes por los 40, lo que tienes que hacer es celebrarlos bien

P.D. iba a escribir en inglés pero…

He basically let me know he reads my blog to stay on top on his English.. so I guess I have finally found my purpose in life through my blog…Anyway, thank you to all for all the kind words and I promise to keep you updated on the adventure, write funny stories, update the pictures of the kids and well, just keep writing in English so all my Spanish friends could practice…

 
No, I wasn’t away anywhere, just took some time off from writing in this blog because I figured no one reads it anyway, but then I thought, it doesn’t reallly matter no one reads it, in the end I write it for me and for Marco and Isabella so they could one day look back and read all their funny adventures, and who knows maybe even continue to write here…

So, I will keep writing weekly….but don’t worry you haven’t missed anything.. School started, yipeee… kids are almost back to a routine and I’m still taking the web design course and that is about it for now…oh yes.. My birthday is coming up and I’m still not sure what I want to do, in a way its the big 40 and I should celebrate big time, but in another way I just want it to be another day so maybe no one notices and I wont get any older… who knows..

 
I’m seriously thinking of ending this blog due to lack of activity. I first started this blog so that all my friends and family could stay up to date with all our adventures here in Spain, but I could see by the stats that only a handful of poeple get here and by the looks of it, get here by accident and  most are not here long enough to possibly read anything. It takes a lot of effort to write everyday (well, I don’t do that anymore), and so I will see what happens in the rest of the year and make a decision.

Anyway, to the matter of this post..the winner of the “Guess Matt’s age” contest is... You guess it, my only loyal reader, the only one who ever dares leave comments… the only one who did leave a comment…..the very own Mary Tery!! Although she did not guess right, by default, since she was the only one to leave a comment she wins.. (Matt’s age is..does it really matter now?)

I will be setting up M.T with her very own blog which I hope has more success than mine.
