I was going to wake up at 7 am and go for a run buuuuuuut that didn't happen. Instead, I woke up to something even better: my brother opening his mission call!!! I may have vague thoughts of dismissing a skype call coming in at 3 am but none the less, I was greeted by a video of my big brother being called to Wisconsin to serve as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Dude I'm so proud!! I'm in such a travel buzz right now that even visiting different states in America is like visiting another country. I'm definitely adding Wisconsin to my travel list now.
So after that excitement, I was so thrilled to have a Wednesday all to myself that I made a flaming stack of flap jacks for my host family. They loved them, I was relishing in my freedom, and definitely commemorating those who have and are serving my beautiful country. And the other countries, but I'm just considered with America right now. (I mean I have 2 things on my mind this week: Thanksgiving and cheap stores...Does that not scream America? Yes. Yes it does).
My mom is always the first to come to mind when I think of the military. An insanely strong woman who has done some insanely cool things while serving in the US Army. She is who I celebrated that day! Cheers, Mom!
But also my grandpa who served and the rest of the soldiers who have sacrificed so much for the United States. I am proud to be an American!
In my desperation to get out of the house, I called on my friend Emily to meet me somewhere and I may have forced her to be my model. We walked around the huge park in Saint-Germain-en-Laye for a few hours and it was great. Super chill and I didn't have to think about kids. Ahhhhhh yes.
