Ever feel like you just don't know what is really going on in your life?? Little lost? Little hopeless? Little like this just isn't really what you had seen when you were growing up and you have it all "planned out"?? Ok, so thats me now!!
I never knew that having the love of my life being French would come with a long list of "Just To Make Your Life A Little More Complicated Encase It Wasn't Already" of things.
First. Only can be in his country for 90 days at a time (as we're not hitched).
Second. The French Chamber of Commerce wants proof of health insurance to apply for a visa (which allows you to be in a country for longer than that legally and so on).
Third. Well, I don't have health insurance!!
Fourth. The soones appointment they can see me is 4 days before I am supposed to return to France and it takes 3 weeks to get the visa!!!!
Fifth. I'm not really sure that my $1000 plane ticket is so "date flexable friendly".
And the list just goes on and on and on.... So what do you do when your stuck in this position?? Sure, getting married would solve 90% of the problems but who gets married just to make things easier? Most people and most people also end of divorced!
What to do?? What to do?? Any suggestions???
Me- American Mom. Him- French Dad. Learning something new everyday about life, motherhood, my spouce and how I do my best to keep it together.

J'tame Paris

We decided to take a little Bon le Petit Voyage Romantique to Paris <3
Eva would stay with her Mammie and Pappie in the south of France and Adrien and I would go stay a full 3 days 2 nights in the city of love! As for Eva, when I returned she was still alive... as for "City of Love", lets just say we spent a lot of time on the tube, also known as the subway...
I've been to Paris before so we didn't have to do all the too touristy things... But of course, its not going to Paris if you don't see the Eiffel Tower and take a stroll down the Chaumps-Elysees to dream about shopping in all of the so expensive with one item purchase it would drain the average persons bank account, stores! Unfourtunaetly for me, I only get to look at those stores... as for my Pretty little French Boyfriend... we won't go there! Sometimes life is just not fair!
Shall we move on???
The Ice Kube!! Nearly as far as the tube will take you without being out of Paris, located in the Indian district middle of-looks like no where. Down a little Chemin that you would never notice in the day light more less never find in the night, is a super posh metro style hotel known as, The Ice Kube. And ice is excalitly what it is! For 40 Euros you can go in, get 4 Grey Goose cocktails and spend 30 minutes of your life in a bar of nothing but ice! Fun? Yes! Expensive? Yes! Cocktails? Yuck! Fun? Oh yes! Will I do it again? Probably not! But for sure, it was lots of fun and my dear little French friend, Ju came along :)
Some girls say diamonds are a way to the heart but for me, I prefer CHOCOLATE!!! Well, thats probably because I've never got a huge diamond before... When I do, I may reconsider..
Salon Du Chocolat!!!! The largest chocolate convention in the world! You better beleive I was there!! It was everywhere!!! I was in heaven! The thought of it now just makes my mouth water! Fountains, sculptures, chocolate butter, jams, clothing, wine, liquor, cups, soaps, truffels, dumplings.... the list goes on and on!! Everything chocolate!!! From every part of the world and every flavor you could ever dream of! Chocolate cheese for crying out loud!!
I also got to spend an evening with some of my most favorite French Amis!! I missed my Nat and Anne-C but next time :)
