…and Barclay and I made a little video to tell you all about it! ?
This is actually our first-ever video that we’ve made together with people in it (not food, ha), so bear with us as we’re learning the ropes here. But we’ve actually been thinking that it would be fun to film some little monthly update videos while we’re living in Spain. As well as — who knows — maybe some random videos here and there just bringing you around our neighborhood with us, or going for adventures around Europe, or sharing what we’re discovering about everyday life and culture here. We’re just kind of excited to try documenting life in a new way. And this move seems like the perfect excuse to sharpen our video skillz.
So if you’re interested in following along with us, stay tuned! We’re hoping to start sharing some videos on the Life section of the blog here once or twice a month. But definitely subscribe to our YouTube channel so that you don’t miss a video. And of course, I’ll still be Instagram story-ing regularly at @gimmesomeoven (all things food) and @gimmesomeali (all things life), so you can always find me there.
More than anything, though, I just wanted to pop in and say thank you so much for all of your amazing love and encouragement during this mega transition! It’s been a roller coaster of a month getting ready for this move, but we’re feeling really ready and excited to see what this new chapter will be like. So we’re excited to bring you along with us, and send you all lots of love today from our new home in España!
Love this video! Thanks for posting it. Listening to you talk about the countries you most want to travel to, I couldn’t agree more, and I have a couple to add to your list, countries I love, and I think you would, too: Malta and Croatia. Don’t miss that huge market on La Rambla in Barcelona – it’s gorgeous.
I’m really excited for you getting to spend time in Barcelona, and wish you the best while you are there.
You two are soooo cute!! Love your video idea!! It’s nice to hear the voices that go with those beautiful, happy faces!! Looking forward to seeing Spain/Barcelona through your eyes!! Rastros felices…!!!
Barcelona is surely a great place to be!! Good luck for your future ahead, Ali. Hope to see some more videos (with people in it)! LOL
Loved it! Super cute
what a fun move, safe travels, will enjoy reading your take on Barcelona, have traveled quite a bit in Europe, but not much in Spain. One of my top 5 movies is “Barcelona” (worth watching if you’re moving there since it’s about U.S. ex-pats there)
Do you speak Spanish? or will you learn?
So exciting!! Barcelona is our favorite city. Four words: La Boqueria St. Josep. Heaven.
i second that.
Was in Barcelona 6 years ago with my daughter, we stayed right close to you in a rental apartment for 2 weeks and had the time of our lives.
I can’t wait to return.
Your voice sounds just like Layla Palmer’s!!!!!!!! Best wishes on your move!
You two are absolutely adorable. I love the love you two clearly have for each other. Best of luck on your new adventures!!
PS, I don’t remember how I found your website, but it is easily one of my favorites – it’s cleanly designed, straight-forward, and has so much heart. And, of course, I just love the yummy, easy-to-follow recipes. Keep up the great work!!
Have fun! We were in Barcelona a year ago and our first morning there we went to find someplace to eat and nothing was opening until 9-10am. Then dinner started around 9pm. It definitely took some getting used to, but you’ll be in your own place, so I imagine you won’t be eating out for breakfast every day :) If you are interested I have two friends that own cooking schools in Europe (they’re open June-Oct). One is in Spain in the Basque region https://www.cookdrinkeatspain.com/ and the other is in Tuscany https://www.tuscanwomencook.com/ Enjoy your adventure!
