Day 69 - Full Day

Today was a good day. I missed Relief Society because I got to Church late. The reasons for this predicament were as follows - Daylight Savings Time started today, I am so tired from London, and Line 1 was closed, which makes it take longer for me to get to Church. En tout cas... Church was great! Afterwards, Shaina, Rebecca, Melissa, and I went to Miro's place for lunch. We had spaghetti. Yum. Pasta is my absolute favorite! It is always good :) Then I went to the Louvre to try and study for my final a little bit. I had troubles finding the room that I needed to study in, so I just looked around. A really cute French boy came up to me. He started speaking French, but starting speaking English after he saw the glazed over look on my face haha He kept asking me to walk with him through the galleries, but I stayed put (by the Winged Victory) because hey, I've seen Taken :) It was fun though. We talked for about a half an hour. Then I went to the Arc du Triompe to meet with Miro, Todd, and others to go to a sister missionary concert in the Versailles ward. It was really amazing. My favorite pieces were the harp solos by Soeur Smart and Angela (from our group). It was a great concert. Then we headed to our homes.

C'est tout :)

That's cool that you talked with that guy for so long and I am glad that you stayed in one place instead of walking around with him.

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
