... that. Last year at this exact time I had my bags packed in advance and was ready to get the hell out of France.

This time I can’t fathom packing my bags to leave. I know it’s a good seven months down the road but the idea of having to say goodbye to this time in my life and to the family who I have come to love as my own is unfathomable. Julie and I have grown so much closer and I adore that she sees me as a big sister. It was ...

... the UK. When I arrived Lis had cooked me an amazing 3 course french-themed dinner! I was so spolit by her the whole time I stayed, actually. It was so nice to see an old friend and completely relax in her company.

The next day I got up with Lis, who had to go in to university fairly early for classes. I headed to the Musee de Beaux Arts, via some great shops and a stop for a hot chocolate which came in a little jug and was so rich and dark I couldn't finish it! The museum was ...

... my party friends but deep down as long as I am challenging myself and working hard I can be content, no wait, happy, with the “American dream”. Humans are always searching their whole lives for their purpose. They find themselves married with two or three kids, a mortgage and a pretty pathetic sex life since they got married and feel unfulfilled with their accomplishments. But the truth is that we don’t have a purpose, we are here ...

... I am feeling great. I don’t know if that has anything to do with starting the meds that the Dr. prescribed for my poor little tummy or if it has everything to do with my boost in confidence for the way things have turned around. But my attitude has change completely and I wake up much happier and don’t sweat the small stuff as much as I usually do.

Though in the last blog I wrote about how in general I haven’t been sweating ...

... But I am convinced to keep my figure slim with the exception of a few pounds due to the changes in food I cant control. Today I went on a walk/run in the countryside to 1. Be healthy 2. Get out 3. Boost my endorphins 4. Take advantage of a rain free day 4. Boost my metabolism 5 burn some calories while I am at it. This was the first time I have worked out since February, which for me is insane. With ...

... gave a big change to the film industry. I toured the house that the brothers lived in and it was gorgeous and huge and unbelievable. I had such a great time with Virginie and Julie.

****** part is that the next afternoon I got reprimanded for my attitude. Basically torn to shreds with words and I stood there speechless with nothing to say. For those of you who know me, you know that I ALWAYS ...

... enough of the same language to form a bond. Last time around my French wasn’t good enough to make great friends with others who didn’t have French or English as their native tongue, but now I am advanced enough to do it!

It gets better, I can drive the car now. After the horrible embarrassing stalling a million times in front of the store I go to everyday the store guy told me "doucement, doucement ...

Day three here is France and the first thing I have to say it Thank you to all of my friends and family who I love. You have all been reading my blog and commenting positively. All the way over here those comments mean everything to me. When I wake up in the morning and see that one of you read it and enjoyed what I had to tell it reminds me that though I am across the world you are all here celebrating these experiences with me. I just hope the enthusiasm ...

... hills and plains in the Rhine river valley. Endless orchards and little smoke veins from garden fires rose over the hills. We passed gigantic nuclear power plants. "They had a big accident six months ago, contaminated all the rivers. That's why I only drink this bottled water," he held it up and pointed, "which comes from far, far away." "It got into the water, but there are so many orchards around here! What did they do with all the ...
