... became much closer, he gave me the tour of his father’s land and that gave us an opportunity to better get to know and understand each other. Before when there were problems I was the least close with Michel, mostly because he works the most and I see him the least, but also because we didn’t understand each other’s motives for me being here.

... br>a 21 ½ birthday. My friends and family there to celebrate my coming of age is
all I want. Don’t need fancy presents or expensive alcohol just the people who I
love there making me feel proud of all that I have accomplished at 21 ½ J .

lucky for me, lives in Dardilly as well. She is Finish and is really nice. Only
****** part is she is only here til Feb, but hey that’s four months I can hang
