So life in Paris is good:) My parents are BOTH going to come visit me! I get to share Paris with my Papi and then he and I are goint to go on a road-trip in Italy! It is going to be such an incredible adventure! Then we get to pick up my mom in Rome! Does life get any better than this? We are such an international family:) My new house and family are still working out really well! I just got a new 17year old room mate from Polland and she is very sweet, we get al...

Today was the first full day in my new home, though I spent almost half of it out and about:) I woke up around 8:30 and wandered into the kitchen for breakfast - So nice and simple, I serve myself whatever I want, I can even boil water for coffee!

Complicated, but completed, dif...

I love walking in Paris! The only real down side is that my shoes aren't really good and it rained some last night so my feet are not only tired, they are wet and sore:( But it doesn&...

It's been a long time since the last time I wrote! I have so many different journals, real and electronic, that I find it difficult to keep up to date with all of them! If you haven't already, you could go check out my myspace, I check that one almost every day and keep it a little more up to date:) Christmas in Sweden was amazing! I got to be with family, which was a really nice change, to be with people I really know, well sort of. I have only really s...
