celebrate | abril's corner

Today is the blog’s very first birthday, and I couldn’t be any more excited about it!! First of all I can’t believe it’s been a whole year already, and then to think I’m quickly approaching my 100th post! So to celebrate I decided to give Abril’s Corner a little makeover, starting with a brand new logo. I hope you love it as much as I do! It is a lovely design by my dear and talented friend Gaby Martinez from Diario Defectuoso.

It has been and continues to be quite the learning process, and one that I’m fully enjoying. You can expect more changes in the future as I plan for the blog to keep growing up and evolving.

My readers are few still, but I am so humbled by the mere fact that there are people who take the time to stop by my little virtual corner of the world, and read me. So, thank you!! Thanks a million to all of you who are reading this right now, because it really means the world to me.

I have many dreams for both the blog’s future and my own, and hopefully you stay tuned to witness, and especially to be a part of my journey attempting to make them come true. Here’s to many more anniversaries to celebrate together!

Hoy es el primer cumpleaños del blog, y no podría estar más emocionada al respecto!! Antes que nada, no puedo creer que ha pasado todo un año, y luego pensar que rápidamente me acerco a la publicación número 100! Así que para celebrar decidí hacerle un pequeño cambio de look a Abril’s Corner, empezando con un nuevo logo. Espero que lo amen tanto como yo! Es un lindo diseño de mi querida y talentosa amiga Gaby Martínez de Diario Defectuoso.

Ha sido y continúa siendo todo un proceso de aprendizaje, y uno que estoy disfrutando enteramente. Pueden esperar más cambios en el futuro porque planeo que el blog siga madurando y evolucionando.

Mis lectores son pocos aún, pero me siento tan honrada por el solo hecho de saber que hay gente que se toma el tiempo de visitar mi rinconcito virtual del mundo, y de leerme. Así que, gracias!! Un millón de gracias a todos ustedes que están leyendo esto en este momento, porque realmente significa el mundo para mí.

Tengo muchos sueños tanto para el futuro del blog como para el mío, y ojalá estén atentos para ser testigos, y sobretodo parte de mi camino intentando hacerlos realidad. Así que salud por muchos aniversarios mas por celebrar juntos!

For those of you who don’t know, today is Children’s Day in Mexico, so happy children’s day to all! I know it’s not a holiday celebrated in the U.S. (not sure about the rest of the world), but it is definitely a holiday in Mexico and celebrated as much as Mother’s Day.
Since I still owe you some pictures from my trip to California, it seems apropos to share with you today the ones from my day at Disneyland. As I probably mentioned before, the main purpose of the trip was to celebrate my birthday…ahem…my 29th birthday.
Despite being aware that I am still very young and the fact that I had never before been bothered at the thought of getting older (empashis on the er!), I have recently found myself freaking out a bit at the idea of turning 30. It’s not so much the acute realization of the inevitable aging process that has been causing my anxiety, although I must confess that witnessing the birth of a slight wrinkle under my eyes has gotten to me more than I ever thought it would back when wrinkles were exactly just a thought and not the imminent fact they now are, but the idea of running out of time to keep postponing some of life’s most important decisions, i.e. whether or not to have kids, is what has me twisted. I am also not entirely thrilled to be turning 30 with so many questions about what I really want to do with my life still unanswered, but I suspect 30 is not gonna sit around and wait for me to figure it out and it’s just going to come slap me in the face in exactly 340 days. I also suspect that if 29 years haven’t been enough time for me to figure it out, it is unlikely that less than a year will do the trick, thus I’ll probably be carrying my 20s motto way into my 30s: go with the flow.
Anyway, I apologize for raving about the latest trigger of my everlasting existential crisis. This post was originally meant to be just about sharing the photos of one of my happiest birthdays, which I spent in Disneyland indulging my Peter Pan syndrome. I would highly recommend you try it some time. Without further ado, here are the pictures:
