Getting ready for Paris....

...is not easy.

But it's fun! :)

I think it has been kind of stressful for me because I had to pack up my room in Statesboro and move everything home. My roommates and I are moving to a new house in the fall! :)

So, all my stuff was jumbled up in a big mess! However, i've found most of everything I need! I'm missing my Nook charger though, and that is kind of depressing. I will find it in that mess somewhere!

So if you know me, you probably know i'm a TERRIBLE packer. I pack WAY more things than I need. It never fails. I can't really afford to do this for my trip to Paris. Seriously, the word "afford" is acceptable because it costs like $100 (or more, I can't remember) for a suitcase that weighs over 50 pounds! Now, 50 pounds sounds like a lot, but for 5 weeks I could pack waaaaay more than that!

But i've done good, I think. I packed basic capris and tops that match pretty much all the capris. I also packed cute little cardigans! :) I love them! I have some nice dresses that can be dressy or casual!  I have my cute rainjacket and umbrella also!

Now my biggest problem will be the shoes. I love my shoes, they are so cute. I don't know which ones to bring!! Whatever, i'll figure that out later.

I'll stop rambling about packing and inform you on what you could look forward to from my blog!

First of all, i'm going with my friends to the Red Hot Chili Peppers concert. Now, I don't know that much about them. But, my brothers use to listen to their music and I do know a few of their songs! One of my best friends, Melissa LOVES them! So i'm excited to experience that with her! I've been listening to their music so I can hopefully sing along with her! haha! :)

But other than that, expect posts about the Lourve, Eiffel Tower, Palace of Versailles, any of the gardens that we will picnic in with our baggettes and wine! I hope we get to go to Nice also! I know there is A TON more that we will do, but I just realized this is getting long!

I'll keep it updated!

Disclaimer: I may be an English major, but I never claim to be a wonderful writer. Just going with the flow and trying to save these memories forever! I hope you still enjoy reading! :) I will post pictures, hopefully that will make it a little more exciting!

I'm living a dream

I just celebrated my one year anniversary with the most amazing guy I know. I can't even begin to describe how wonderful this past year has been with him. We have had our ups and downs, just as every one does. Somehow, we have made it through. I know we have grown together as a couple. We have found flaws in each other, but still love just the same. Daniel is the most patient person in the world for putting up with me.

However, another hard time for us is coming up soon. I'm leaving for Paris on June 28th for five weeks. That's right, FIVE weeks. I'll be studying Hemingway with some of my best friends, but i'll be missing Daniel. Luckily for me, he is very supportive and excited for me as well. I know we will be fine, but we will just miss each other entirely too much.

But i'll be back, on August 3rd and I know he will be waiting for me!

I truly am living a dream life. I have the best family who supports my decision to study in Paris, a great boyfriend who loves me unconditionally, and amazing friends to travel on this journey with!

I can't believe that i've been so blessed in so many ways. I don't deserve it!

I love you Daniel, and I can't wait to keep up this blog while i'm in Paris so you, and everyone else can see what i'm learning in Paris!

*Someone pinch me, maybe i'll wake up!*
