A Day to Dream About

The past 3 days have been beyond wonderful. Words cannot describe how blessed I am to be living the life I am right now. I could start with Saturday, but since that's already passed, it can wait longer.
As I type here, the sun is shining, I have a sunburn on my face, the door is open, it's 25 degrees out, the grass is so green, banana bread is baking in the oven, and Lison is beside me. It's truly amazing.

Today was truly the day of an au pair. I drove Lison to school and then went downtown Toulouse with Hannah (another au pair who lives nearby). We shopped and did whatever we wanted. Then we drove to a large shopping centre and shopped some more. Mind you, I only bought what I needed: socks, a small wallet, and mentos :P
Then I came home, sat outside, called my parents and informed them that I am still ALIVE (and living the dream) and we had a wonderful talk. I love my parents <3
Lison came home and we lay in the grass, told stories, braided each others hair, and took pictures. After we decided to go grocery shopping where we bought some food to prepare dinner for Muriel tonight. Today was her first official flight in an Airbus plane! We are all so proud of her.

To put it in short: I am so blessed. God has brought me to a place of true happiness here.

So beautiful in our fur coats.
