New Beginnings

Well here I am writing my very first post on my very first blog. But that's not all that's new with my life. I now live in a small town in Northern France. Lovingly known only by its inhabitants and perhaps those in living in the Picardie region, as Crépy en Valois. 

For this introduction I had planned to post pictures of my new room and surroundings but unfortunately in the mad rush that was moving to France I forgot a couple of things including my camera cable, which allows me to upload photos. So instead I am turning to a beloved artist to portray my current predicament. Alphonse Mucha.

Although telling by the leaves on the ground it is not spring (printemps) in either the States or France, I find this picture sums up my own quest for personal growth. What with her being porcelain skinned and determined.

But enough about that. This weekend Petey and I visited Paris! It was amazingly warm and sunny and all around lovely. We ate on Rue Mouffetarde in a tiny (as in literally closet sized) tarte restaurant and met an American couple. They we're very friendly and it was great to all share our love of Paris! Taking their advice, Petey and I decided to forgo the metro and take a bus around Paris which allowed us to have a (cheap) personal tour all over the city streets!

Now its Monday night and I'm back in C.E.V. ready to start the work week which is Tuesday through Friday for me. But more on that later. Right now cette jeune fille needs her beauty rest.
