quick switz

last weekend i went to switzerland to visit cousins. 

palmer sandwich! 

these birds were so edger to eat so we decided to feed them the last of our crumbs.  it is slightly boring but it was a good memory....

 please ignore the orientation of this video as it wasn't me who recorded it 

(annndd we all know the stigma with that issue)

love the design of this

 #lol at the at the camera focus.

the 3 most important things to do in lausanne ;)

hi joey, apparently i stole this.  i can send it back to you!

and we saw the big red ball from the {red ball project}!! 

(i missed it in paris and was happily surprised to see it in lausanne)

personally every time i see the big red ball i think of {this song}...

we also ended up at the montreux jazz festival and didn't listen to but 5 mins of music....

enjoy more photos of the trip {here}.

paris pride 2013

spent my saturday at pride - had a wonderful time, as always, and took way too many photos.  right now is a great time to celebrate as same sex marriage has recently passed in france!

this year, i watched at the beginning and then watched at the end... 

you can check out the all the photos {here}

and if that is not enough for you, take a look at {2011} & {2012} posts!

fyi: for your post soundtrack needs, besides {daft punk}, {this song} was pretty popular!

a trip across the pond

took a mini vacation to london last week! 

spent too much time at various art exhibits (including the famous {david bowie} one!!!) and enjoyed some much needed time away from paris.

hey mom!!

happy mother's day!  

you're pretty cool mom - in the true hipster style i'm pretty sure you're the first mother to dress her daughter like one...

(also, where is this photo?! the junk yard?)

you'll get your SMALL gift soon.  sorry for being a loser daughter and not sending it yet - but a little birdy told me that YOU forgot mother's day (just sayin').

love you like cray, cray!

kthanxbye!

doesn't seem like i should be reflecting upon another year as 2012 has flown by!  paris 2012 has offered so much to my life even though i was sick to be stateside for many of it.  i continue to count my blessings of having a great community of family and friends i love here but also far across the atlantic.

i know my life will continue to be in paris for a couple more years and i welcome the experiences of the future here; my second home.

{sometimes we go looking for life changing experiences but sometimes they just present themselves like a pleasant surprise.} 

{2011} - {2010}

i've slept here.

my husby too.

hope monday is wonderful for everyone. 

countin' down the days 'til my feet hit the american soil.

2 weeks.  

day date paris

i have been wanting to go on this thing since i moved to paris.  #finally!

 the purse totally matches, but it's totally mine.  no murse here...

 OH LOOK; the eiffel tower! 

does this remind anyone else of dave mattews band?

this was the most popular game and husby had to show his manly side.  don't worry, i showed my manly side too.

classic.

best day date ever.
