Summer Vacation Saves All
You know, the one thing I’ve learned from this whole, horrendous, drawn out visa process, is that focusing on the positive is imperative. I’ve always been a glass-half full kind of gal anyway, but now, I’m a glass three quarters full, because let’s face it if I wasn’t, I’d probably be locked away in the…

encore
Here I am again, alone after saying goodbye to Gregory. (Well not technically alone… I do live at my mother’s house after all, and of course there’s Fifty too). But unlike the last few goodbyes, this time we can truly say that the end is near. (Please, please, please, oh pretty please!) So this is…

Port Grimaud and Cavalaire-sur-Mer
Cavalaire-sur-Mer You know, there has been so much going on here lately what with Thanksgiving, Gregory’s green card issues, and just life in general, that I still haven’t gotten around to finishing up the tales of my trip back to France last July, so gather around kiddos, because that’s what I aim to do today.…

Sanary-sur-Mer
There is a list of places in France that I’ve always wanted to go to, but never had a chance because, you know, life. Not getting to places like Versailles I can understand, because that’s a long journey from Le Petit Village, but there were loads of places not too far that I never made…

making up for messing up
Remember how I told you about Gregory messing up our last day in Paris by booking that awkward hour of 12:49 train? Well, it turned out there was a reason for that. Gregory was surprising me with dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, and that awkward, early afternoon train, was the one that would get us…

Behind The Photos XVIII
For this edition of Behind the Photos, I’m going back to my first trip to Lyon; the destination of Gregory’s and my first wedding anniversary, celebratory getaway in March 2011. I’m hoping that by looking at these photos and reminiscing, I might remember what it feels like to be married, because truthfully, thanks to this extra-long,…

Au Revoir Paris, Bonjour Toulon
This post continues on from where this one left off, so we’re going to shake off our November blues, and travel back in time to France in July. Gregory and I had one perfect day in Paris, and I had planned on getting at least another half of one in before heading south to Toulon,…

We'll Always Have Paris
So after my crazy, frustrating, journey to nowhere, I did finally make it to Paris to meet Gregory, but getting there didn’t go without a hitch (because why would it?). It was a little over a week after Gregory had returned to France when I felt ready to attempt the trip again. Sidebar: When Gregory…

the road to nowhere {part four}
I cannot believe I’m on part four already! I really didn’t mean to go on, and on about this, but I guess I still have a lot of emotions from this trip to work out, my apologies. Let’s wrap this up. After causing quite the scene with the whole ‘people mover’ thing, I decided to get…

the road to nowhere {part three}
The moment when I found out that I was not going to get on the flight to Paris and be able to meet up with Gregory, I seriously almost crumbled. I remember standing at the desk and the gate agent telling me that there was no way it was going to happen, and I had to…
