We moved, but still no internet!

Sorry! No posts that are too exciting for now! Well, I`m writing this from the closest McDonalds from our apartment. You know, you can always count on McDonalds to offer free internet connection without making any purchases! I`m lovin`it!

Anyways, things are going steady with moving into the new place. In France, when you rent a place, the renter has to furnish it with all the light fixtures that come out of the walls and ceilings. And since we didn`t want just a bare lightbulb hanging from our bedroom ceiling, we had to buy and install all these. Plus, you have to furnish your own dishwasher, fridge, clothes washer & dryer and stove! Luckily, we had all these from our old place, but bringing them up our tiny 600 year old, winding staircase was a difficult task. We had our good friend, Corey from Canada, to help us and he was so awesome to help out. We were so sore and tired from moving our whole place in 1 day flat! Thank you again, Corey!

We still have some more painting to do, so I can`t take ay pics yet, until it`s finished! So, be patient; I won`t forget to post them!

I`m excited to be going back to Sarasota, FL for 16 days for a vacation! Too bad Yann can`t come too, but he had to work. I arrive on March 10 and that first weekend I have a girls weekend planned at my parents cabin in the mountains in North Carolina. Then, I just relax with friends and family until I leave on March 26th.

Thankfully, I`m finally getting my French Card Of Long Stay!! I`s like a Green Card for the States, but it`s for Europe. it`s taken about a year for all that to happen. It`s so incredibly difficult to obtain a French visa, people! Even when you`re married to a French guy! Forget about living over here, if you`re not married to a European or are a student or are a millionaire, who doesn`t need to work while here! The best is to just come visit me and enjoy a nice trip to the South of France. My house is open!

Ok, talk to you soon from Florida!

You're coming home? In March? Awesome. If you don't have plans on March 22nd, I'm hoping you can come to our engagement party. Chris is gonna be in town for it, too! It's the only wedding related event we'll be having in Florida.
