Wedding stuff is over, the event itself as well as the mini-honeymoon we took to NYC this past weekend.I wrote an email to my friend back home and stated that things were heading “back to normal” … and all afternoon I’ve felt weird. What the hell does “back to normal” mean in Chile, anyway? At …
Hitched
Married muffin over here … had a blast last night … enjoyed celebrating with every single person there…and eternally thankful to my husband and friends back home for the video that made me cry like a baby… More on all that later. For now, here’s a preview of what’s to come (visually.) Did you like …
What´s on tap today ….
No big deal but…today´s the day … that which has been the bane of my existence as well as the light at the end of the tunnel. Today is.the.wedding. Boo-yah, I made it! WE made it! A quick summary of the days that have passed: family arrived from the U.S. and my sister and nephew …
It’s occurred to me …
… that I’m getting MARRIED in 2.2 seconds. The whole reason I’m here in Chile, the culmination of months of planning, wanting to pull my hair out and cry and all things in between IS HAPPENING this Saturday. Crrrraaaaaaazy. I can’t say I feel like a bride who’s about to partake in her wedding. I …
What kind of Chilean man marries a Gringa?

The postgrado
Um … school in Chile is weird. Ok, I should rephrase that since I’m not technically in “school” or “colegio” but at a university getting a post-graduate degree (postgrado). In short, I’m dabbling in Graduate studies. And for someone who was raised and who received her entire education (for better or for worse) in California, …
I’m cool with it
Sixteen days before my wedding and I’m wondering if I’m supposed to be FEELING something about that. Everyone keeps asking me if I’m “excited” or “nervous” and wondering about how I feel regarding “the big day.” And I’m like … well… remember that one episode in Sex and the City when Miranda was preggo and …
Butterfly, glitches, moths & ex wives
The dark cloud that is G’s ex is always looming. Can we take a minute to ponder that, please? This literally means that it’s a forever-present entity that exists to make your life awkward – for sure – and sometimes just plain miserable. So even when G and I are at our happiest, say, at …
Spilling beans?
Last night I had a few ladies over for happy hour and I have to admit, I got really excited about showing people my wedding stuff…to the point that Gonzalo kind of freaked out on me, asking me in an exaggerated tone if I was going to show/talk about all the details to such an …
Lovely ladies
Can I rave a bit? After writing an entry about how no one from the States was going to be traveling to Chile for my wedding and how upset I was about that, last night, three of them got together to throw me a bride’s dinner … just to remind me that though none of …
