Sundays are for Christmas (markets!)

Sundays after church, I go to choir practice. I love being in my ward choir because 1) our director is a guy from my ward who speaks zero French and 2) everyone speaks English there while we are all trying to sing in French. The irony of it all is hilarious and I love all of the people there. Even the French women who are so stand-offish to anyone they don't know and anyone who is not French or fluent are softening up a bit to me. It's a fun time:)

Well, last Sunday, I had my last ecclessiastical interview for my application to BYU (oops, surprise!) and then my new friend, Aubrey, and I met up at Champs-Elysses to parouse the Village de Noel. Ah, I love Christmas!!

We stopped by one of the sidewalk displays sponsored by IKEA and burned some calories on a stationary bike while learning about ways to be environmentally friendly. The COP21 just occurred recently here in Paris where 180 Presidents/Diplomats/World Leaders/Kings all came to discuss environmental problems. Oh, and Leonardo DiCaprio. We totally shared the same city for a while. And, like, breathed the same air. No biggie.



 Bad selfie attempt with all of the lights and Arc de Triumph down the Champs-Elysses....

A new past time with my boys: monitoring my steps and seeing how many I can take in one day. Record is 21,000 on a day with walking to and from the kids' school, my school, and a run. I love being so active all of the time!

“Oh, London is a man's town, there's power in the air;
And Paris is a woman's town, with flowers in her hair;
And it's sweet to dream in Venice, and it's great to study Rome;
But when it comes to living, there is no place like home.”
Henry van Dyke
