    We've had a lot going on behind the scenes the las We've had a lot going on behind the scenes the last couple of months... and despite our little guy's face in this photo, we are SO excited to finally share that WE ARE MOVING TO SPAIN! 🇪🇸💃🥘 Living in a foreign country with kids has been a dream of ours ever since we became parents. So when we were given the opportunity to move our little crew to España this summer, we knew this was our chance. It's bittersweet to think in six weeks we'll be saying bye to Bend for a while, but after an entire year of being stuck at home, we've never felt more ready for an adventure like this. 🤗 🥰 Also, I'm pretty pumped I can now use my favorite emoji without hesitation 💃💃💃💃💃💃 #bringonthesangria #paellaplease #weremoving #alicante #spain #movingtospain #movingtoalicante
