Ibis Lyon Gare La Part Dieu

For those of you do enjoy reading my blog sorry that it has been so long. I haven't been able to bring myself to my computer to write. I can’t explain if it was because of me not having anything to say, being more preoccupied with personal issues that have been going on back home or if its because I have been enjoying my life in the real world and choosing it over the computer. For whatever reason I was unable to find ...

... which sadly was quite small and only in French. However, there was a beautiful silk shop attached to it and lots of nice shops in that area, so it wasn't a waste of time.

Then I met up with Lis and we took the tram up the hill to a beautiful church which looked out over the city. The view was really amazing, and, as it was a clear day, we could faintly see Mt Blanc in the distance. We walked back down the hill and, feeling that we had earned it, ate icecream at a cute ...

... I am trying to make is though I am SO not YET ready for the house with 2.5 kids, I am saying that I am finding myself going that path. I always thought I would be the “high powered” career woman who would stop at nothing for success but I have learned that that is not the life I want. Now don’t get excited! You’re missing one piece, I am and still will always be the hardest working person you know, but my idea of “ ...

... blogs and thinking TMI-too much info-)

Well see though with my tummy issues I have been eating things like salads, carrots, tomatoes, bananas, my boobs may only be here for a short stay! That means Jimmy better get here sooner than later or you might miss out!! My diet has had to been drastically changed in order to not look three months pregnant and have what I would imagine labor pains (just exaggerating it’s not that bad) feel like ...

... and my classmates do. So, I am working on that.

What else? Well as most of you know Frances food doesn’t exactly agree with me. It never really has and delicious as it is, it may not ever. I am still in the normal transitional phase of my body adjusting to the food change, but I was forced to go to the doctor on Monday for my irritated stomach. To summarize my problem here I eat and ...

To continue my epic journey through Europe... I left Paris and found myself heading south to the town of Tours in the Loire valley. I received a response from someone accepting me to couchsurf at their place- a nice girl named Clement. Since I could not manage to get my phone to work before leaving Paris I hoped that Clement would be there to pick me up at the train station in Tours. When I exited the train, I looked around for a young girl who would also be searching for someone to pick ...

... they are you parent, except they are not. Not to say that no one out there understands and there are no experiences like it of course, but my argument is that living in your workplace with your boss and trying to balance that out with them being your family as well is not super easy. But hey, who ever said it was?

I didn’t come here expecting it to be easy, and I didn’t come here expecting to feel like I was at home with my own ...

... of Julie whining over homework. You can go to another country but you can’t change how kids act with their homework. I had a café and a banana for breakfast and I am not sure what I am going to do today. I do know one thing though I have class tomorrow and even though I am only taking a placement exam I am still pretty excited!! Meeting people yay!!

Until then,
