Life is great right now. My au pair duties will officially end tonight and I will soon be off to visit Michelle and students and staff from JPII who will be in France on their Easter school trip. My Dad and extended family have been amazing in getting me information about the Lendvay family past and they have also got me in touch with relatives in Hungary.
