Sunday, December 5

it was a long AMAZING weekend

but you'll have to wait to hear more about it.

It is 10:15pm and I have just arrived home for the first time since Friday morning (and I did not prepare to spend the whole weekend in Paris) so I am a bit spent.

It is FRIGID cold here. And snowing... a lot. we call it "il neige" (it's snowing). And while i like the snow, I am learning that Myself and the cold air are not very much friends. :-(

On a different note, its crazy how God sets up divine appointments. Not sure if I was just oblivious to that in my life prior to moving here or if its just more obvious being here but God knows my every need and fulfills it like you wouldn't believe. To be honest, I don't comprehend how you CAN'T believe in such a mighty and awesome God. I will explain more later.

And on another different note: so I booked a ticket to Texas and lately I have been worried about coming home. Am I going to miss Texas and the people and the food so much that I won't want to come back? I mean, surely I am going to come back, but will it make it miserable to come back knowing how much I miss it? Am I going to want to move home? Ahhhhh!!!! Two lives and not knowing just where I fit in yet? And lately I have really felt relationships here being strengthened and creating bonds like I've never had before. And in all of that, I really feel a sense of "its okay to go home and miss it and love it and wish i could be closer to the most amazing country (because come on guys, Texas is a country, right?) and food and people, but its ok that I have a life here in France as well and that this is where I know I am supposed to be and I love it here as well".  Let's just say there's been a lot going on inside my head. a lot. But i feel confrimation about what I am doing and where I am and its a fabulous feeling.

also, speaking a second language when you are tired is practically a "not going to happen". i was warned but it isn't until you experience that do you truely understand. some days are just an "english only" kind of day. and I am ok with that.

well, i hope you fabulous people have had a fabulous weekend. and i hope you fabulous people have stayed a bit warmer than me. which i think is a most likely yet since i heard it is an amazing 75 degrees in my great country of Texas right now while it has been a chilly 0'c and below here.

well, i'm off to go snuggle with my bed whom i haven't seen in several days and enjoy some shut eye.

au revoir mes amies.

a la prochain!

I know what you mean by trying to speak a second language when you are dead beat tired. A mushy brain does not a substitute make for one that needs to work double time! Bon soir Karalynn!
