Famille française

After I graduated from high school I went on a trip with my French Club to France for two weeks. I know, I'm a bit of nerd for being in French Club, but it turned out to be a good move in the long run. Anyway, we went to Chartres, a small city about 30 km or so outside of Paris. I stayed with a host family for one week and loved it. My family and I have kept in touch ever since and next week when I go to Paris for an 'educational excursion' I'm meeting up with them!!!

I am so excited to see them again! It has been about 3 years. The mom and two daughters will be coming up to Paris and we're meeting at the Notre Dame, which is good because it's so easy to find. So, hurray! They also offered for me to spend the night in Chartres so we can talk more and catch up on what has been going on in our lives for the last 3 years. A lot, I imagine.

I was so happy when I saw 'One Missed Call' on my cell phone and it was from a number in France. I was also quite pleased that I was able to communicate with the mom. It's scary to talk to someone on the phone in a different language because you can't see the expressions they're making. But, I did it successfully. I can't wait to go to Paris and see my best friend and my famille d'accueil!
