the wonderful world of blates
{my blate, Alex} You know, when I first started blogging, I had absolutely no clue what I was getting myself into. Before I hit publish on that first post back in 2009, I had never even read a blog. I didn’t know that there were thousands of other people out there hitting publish just like…

The Last Days of The LPV
My last days in The LPV whooshed by. I was busy; suitcases needed to be packed, bits and pieces had to be sold, given away and moved out, and goodbyes needed to be said. I was sad, but after six months of preparations, ready to go. Because my move date was closing in, and I…

catching up on the things that I missed
{Representing The LPV in The TX} Back in August, I wrote a post about some of the things I missed in the U.S. Truth be told, it was written about two weeks after we had made the decision to leave France. At the time my mind was swirling with thoughts and feelings, mostly nervous ones, and…

À bientôt Aix
I was lucky enough to squeeze in one last trip to Aix-en-Provence before leaving France. We had to pick up my brother at the TGV station there so we decided to stop by for one final whip around the charming city. Up until that Tuesday, the weather had been glorious; a beautiful sun had blared in the the sky…

Gregory vs. The Eggs
Today is my fourth wedding anniversary and I’m about 5500 miles away from my husband. After I moved to France, I never thought that I would be doing the whole long distance thing again, but here we are; me at my mother’s house in Texas and Gregory currently at this exact moment, somewhere on the…

ma fête d'au revoir
Oh Wine Bar, I think I’ll miss you most of all. I thought it was only fitting that my Le Petit Village goodbye party was held at the bar à vin, after all, I fell in love with the place the first time I stepped foot in it and had many a fun and memorable evening there.…

Won't You Come See About Me
Well I made it, I’m in Texas! I’ve been here since Wednesday. (It should have been Tuesday but we got stuck in DC overnight due to all the bad weather the day before. I’m not complaining though, that night eating room service in my jammies while watching the CW was exactly what the doctor ordered.)…

ttfn
Bonjour mes amies! Only five days left in Le Petit Village, can you believe it? Life has been bustling… my mother flew in late last week, Mrs. London came up for my going away dinner, and tomorrow my brother’s Aix bound train arrives. Before I know it, Friday will whip around and I’ll be locking…

non, je ne regrette rien
It’s a funny thing, regret. Personally I try to live my life without it. Not that I don’t have any, of course I do (Boy could I tell you some stories!), but I try to live my life without dwelling on them. I don’t see the point. We live, we learn, we move on. That…
