so...this happened about a month ago, but i never blogged about it.
I'M GOING TO FRANCE FOR A WHOLE MONTH, GUYS.
this is my real life. i can't even believe it still.
holy cow.
i haven't been on an airplane since...the summer after my sixth grade year.
i went to visit my auntie in san diego.
it was the greatest.
and she is actually also the reason that i will be going on this fabulous trip!
i had this crazy dream the other night that i had a connecting flight in SoCal for some reason...but i missed the flight out of salt lake so my sister had to drive me to california so i could make the rest of my trip. it was so weird. i'm already having stress dreams about it and it's not even until june!
my aunt karine married this great guy named georgios. georgios is a greek native and had a brother named christos that has made his home in melun, france.
christos owns a clothing boutique. (a clothing boutique in france? really?!) he has a wife and three children. i'm so excited to get to live with them and am so grateful that they are willing to open up their home to me! what an incredible opportunity!
melun is this cute little country-side suburb of paris. kind of like what sandy is to salt lake...except less busy. so maybe...like stansbury park from salt lake! i'll be staying in this adorable brick house...
and basically down the street is one of france's most famous castles, "Château de Fontainbleau"
i'm so excited. seriously. so excited to eat at so many patisseries, to take a picture with the eiffel tower, to look at the mona lisa (ah!), to walk down cobblestone streets that are lined with beautifully flowered trees, to fall in love with the people and the language, to visit a foreign LDS church weekly, to live, love, and learn.
i can't wait.
So exciting!!
