Let's not say "goodbye", let's just say..."au revoir"

You and I both know how quickly time passes...two and half months until Thanksgiving!

Fields of Gold...love that song.  this reminds me of it.  You are so strong! (that rhymes)

Love you, bestie :)  see you soon!

literal locks of love!

Dear Margie,

Today I wandered around Paris for a few hours.  It was an awesome time, but I couldn't help but wish that you were with me.  Not only would it make me less nervous about getting pick-pocketed, but I wished I had someone to share the beauty of the city with me.   

There is this awesome bridge where people put locks to symbolize their love for each other, usually writing names and dates and such on the locks.  Literal locks of love!  I felt a little silly doing it by myself, but I bought you a lock, wrote on it, and added it to the thousands of others on a bridge over the Seine River.  

I got a video for you, but blogger won't upload it, so you'll have to wait for it.  Oh, and the tradition is that you throw the key into the river, and I did that...but the lock came with 3 keys.  So I gave the other two to random strangers on the road...jk!!  I kept them for us!  

2 pink chairs

I was sitting in the library downtown, and I looked out the window and saw these two bright pink chairs on top of the roof of that building. I thought it was so cute and awesome! Wish that we could go sit in them together. :)

SO FUNNY!!!!! I can't stop laughing!!

I can speak Spanish too!

Today I went to the downtown library for a few hours and got a little distracted...






shhhhh don't tell anyone!! It's pencil, but maybe it will still be there when you come to visit!

"MARIE Her father, her mother, her brothers and her sisters were gassed on arrival. Her parents were too old, the children too young. She says: 'My little sister was beautiful.
You cannot imagine how beautiful she was.
They must not have looked at her.
If they had looked at her, they would not have killed her.
They would not have been able to."

Times Square!

you may be thinking right now, "What is this??"

you may be thinking right now, "What is this??". So let me tell you what it is! This is a place for you from me where I will put things that remind me of you, things I think you would like, and things I take for you (pictures, videos, etc.). Even though anyone in the world can look at this (and see how much I love you!), these things are just for YOU! Even though I am 1773 miles away this is my way of saying I am not abandoning you!
