Day 49 - Deux FHEs

Today was a pretty great day. Classes were good. My religion presentation went well. I repeated a lot (the reason for this was because I was telling about the destitute situation of many of the Saints. They were starving to death and they had nothing; what else could I say??) and only half the class paid attention, but that was just fine with me! I really like Bro. Euvrard. He's an interesting and nice teacher. We also got our midterms back and I think everyone got A's! I'm glad he is understanding of how hard it is to do homework in Paris! :)

After class, some of us just chilled for a while and talked about a lot of random things. it was fun :) Then we headed to the Ricks' apartment for FHE. Nothing in particular to report. Dr Ricks told us some info about Normandy, which is this Thursday! I'm excited! Then we had some delicious dessert, a chocolate tart with ice cream. Yum. After that was done, Hanna and I went to the Young Single Adult FHE. Chelsea and Richard were also there. It was really cool! I'm definitely going to go again. We started out by talking a little with the people there. Then they had a spiritual thought/discussion. Even though it wasn't in English, I was really able to feel the Spirit as the members were sharing their ideas. It was awesome! After that, we mingled for a while. It was a lot of fun! I miss meeting new people. Not that I don't like the people in our group, but it is nice to see fresh faces :) More specifically, fresh guy faces... :D

Then back to my place for what else - homework! A demain.

My sister Rachel had her baby boy Benjamin earlier this morning. This is the 19th time I've been an aunt. And I still absolutely adore it. I get just as excited with each birth. He's a new life. He's a miracle. I love children. With Benjamin and Abi, his oldest sister. I love her face in this one! Isn't he just adorable? Look at that hair! Oh I love him :)

Day 54 - Dernier Jour

Last day in Paris! I can't believe it. I'm sure gonna miss this place. Ali, Shamra, Mckell, Claire and I headed out to the city this morning. First stop was the Opera house. I finally got to see the inside this time! Beautiful. We had some fun :) Then we went to Berko's, the wonderful cheesecake place. It wasn't open and it was 11:35. We thought they wouldn't open until 12 but as we were sitting there waiting, they opened the doors! Yay! I got creme brulee cheesecake. Oh it was divine. This is one of the things I will miss most about Paris! Love it. Then Claire and I went to the Jewish museum. It was pretty interesting. I couldn't take many pictures. Then off to the Promenade Plantee. It was a really beautiful walk. I like this flower. It's weird. Then we walked back to the metro. It was quite a long walk so we were very tired! We went to the Louvre for a little internet time. Afterward, we went to Laudree to get a present for Greg and Martha. Then back to t

Day 55 - Home

I'll miss the metro, I'll miss the city, I'll miss the museums, I'll miss the tourist attractions, I'll miss the people, I'll miss the photo opportunities, I'll miss the rush. I'll miss this place. I got up early this morning, finished packing up, ate breakfast, then headed to the Roissy bus with Elisabeth and Ali. Who are, by the way, angels! I am so grateful to them for helping me. I absolutely could not have done it without them unless I got a taxi. And even then, I'm not sure. Once on the nice Roissy bus, I slept a little bit. It was good. SO much better than taking the RER B, which is what everyone else took who was on our flight. And it ended up being cheaper. Then we finally got to the airport. Elisabeth checked my duffel (thanks again!), which was fine on weight. Then I checked my large bag, except it was 4 kilo over. If I wanted to pay for that, it would be 150 euros. No thank you. So I had to get some stuff out of it. They gave me a AirFran
