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.}

 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}.
