<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This past summer, my husband, daughter, sisters and I had the opportunity to go see Coldplay in concert at Gillette Stadium. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">My husband and I had already been to a Coldplay concert a few years ago (they are my absolute favorite) and we decided back then that we would take our daughter the next time they went on tour. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Although we knew she was bit young to be going to a concert, we also knew that it would be a PG rated show and quite honestly, we wanted to experience her first concert as a family, watching a band we all love. You only live once, right? Plus, they put on a great show and she had a blast!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">Welcome to my blog! </span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">This is my first time blogging, so please bear with me while I learn the ins and outs of the blogging world. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">This blog will be a little bit of everything...about me, haha. Places I've visited or want to visit, restaurants I love or have recently tried, my family, interesting articles I've read...the list is endless. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">But first, some background information regarding yours truly :)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">My full name is Luz Andrea. Luz mean light in Spanish and it is pronounced like 'loose', not 'lose'. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">I once explained the difference in pronunciation to a nice elderly man, who then proceeded to ask me, "well, so how 'loose' are you?". He was lucky he was old. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">I was born in Colombia, moved to the United States when I was two years old, and have lived in RI ever since. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">I am fluent in Spanish, but can't roll my 'R' if my life depended on it. Go figure. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">I am the oldest of four siblings, two sisters and one brother to be exact. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">I am married and have a beautiful daughter who keeps me on my toes.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">My husband and I began dating when we were 20 years old, and have been married for nine years, so that makes me 29, right? ;) </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">We love to travel and eat, so don't be surprised if you get hungry or get the urge to jump on a plane after reading my posts!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">And lastly, I am enrolled in the Adult Education Masters Program at URI and absolutely love it! It has been such a rewarding experience thus far and am so glad that I decided to take the plunge and go back to school after a long absence. All of my classmates have been wonderful and I have learned so much already. I truly feel like I am part of an amazing community of practice. </span></div>
