 new year celebration 2012 was by far the best new year i've had since leaving columbia, missouri in 2009.   the rain we had this year developed rainbows and allowed the roots to take ground and strengthen in this city of paris.  i have made some really great friends in which i can relate to and let loose with.  i look to the new year with more positive force than the {year before}.

i can see the world and it ain't so big at all


these past weeks have been more fun than i could ask.  several times during my vacation home i realized how much i love all my friends and family.  i am so happy to have so many beautiful people in my life,
i miss all of you already.

in the coming days, i will be busy again with 'real life' but will touch up on my vacation here and there through the blog world.
i didn't think i would be, but i'm getting excited to get back to paris.


to all my friends, please keep in touch.  in a semi lonely parisian world i need all of you.

summer thoughts.


although this isn't the clip isn't fully complete i hope you do get the idea...
i had mentioned this seinfeld episode to my friend in colorado and felt an itch to re-watch it when i returned back to west plans.  i realized while watching the beginning that i too proclaimed this summer for me.  there were so many people i wanted to see and things i wanted to do and i did it.  at the tail end, i see george bothered and distracted by that fly and yes, i too did get a bit distracted.

there are some things i have not done and people i did not see.  i've been so busy attending to meet ups and things that i skipped over goals and things i wanted to complete.  i hope i still have friends when i return to paris, i haven't written half of the emails that i needed to write.

being home (as in my mother's home) as been some of the best relaxation since i got back to the united states.  in colorado i had lots of time to take in the scenery and time, but being here is a whole different ball game.  while here, i only have a couple of commitments and not many friends left to see.  while here, i took my last month in a new perspective and realize i've had such a wonderful time and so many wonderful people i can call my friends and some pretty awesome family.

today, i finally uploaded pictures of my travels (more will come soon) and wrote some emails and letters.  today, i finalized plans for a trip to greece with a dear friend.  tomorrow, i help my mom around the house, mail letters, and take a small road trip down to arkansas.

i am not a writer, but this needed said.  there have been many distractions for me in the us, but this has been my summer and i have done what i wanted to do.  go do something for yourself and don't forget to count your blessings.
{very empowering i might add}

Visit from NYC






this past week, some friends came in from nyc to visit paris. the visit wore me down, but i was so happy to have girl time walking in the shops, talking photography, and hosting good company. lauren and lauren, have fun in barcelona, a safe trip home, and know you're always welcome back to the palmer-norotte residence.
