We finished the night off with a CANDY APPLE!!
It was such a Magically FUN Day! :)

Paris was such a great weekend...and a perfect way to wind down my traveling because it is almost time to come home now! OH MY GOODNESS...yes as I sit here today I leave Swansea in ONE WEEK! I can't believe it. I am ready to come home... but am also getting sad to leave all these Friends that I have made, even though I KNOW I will see them again! Shoot we are already making plans to go to California to stay with Allison! :)
It will be harder for me to see my friends from here though, but I know that I will come back and stay with Anna and her family :) I have been so blessed with all of the Wonderful people I have gotten to be so close with! I did not come here anticipating that I would make such awesome friends, which is why it is going to be so much harder to say goodbye and is just another example of how God is always working things out in my life according to HIS plan. 
Jeremiah 29:11 says "For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, the plans to PROSPER you and NOT to harm you. Plans to give you HOPE and a FUTURE." 
No matter where I go, or what problems and trials that I face I know that I have God on my side and I cannot LOSE! :) 

I HAVE to share with you all a couple pictures that my friend Caleb took of the Eiffel tower. He is such an AMAZING photographer! :) 
These pictures just took my Breath AWAY :) 


INCREDIBLE!!

PARIS! The Last HURRAH trip! :)...Part #1

There are absolutely no words that can truly describe my experience in Paris! I had very high expectations of what Paris would be like, and was afraid I was going to be disappointed but I was definitely NOT!! :) My trip was incredible and just another reminder of how blessed I am!!

Some exciting news about this trip was my friends Anna, and Emanuil, and Anna's BF Nick were able to come! :) Although just two days before at practice she rolled her ankle and the doctor gave her crutches :/ she was an absolute warrior walking all around Paris!! :)

Normally I talk about everything and then list pictures but I think I am going to let the pictures do the talking :)
