Happy New Year

Happy New Year to everyone! We all know how people like to make resolutions at the first of the year, that they never keep. Well I thought I would try and keep mine simple this year, just too maybe help myself out. Be Better. That’s it, be better. Be a better friend, a better lover, be a better sister and daughter. Do better at the little things like smiling and making other people laugh. Be better at cooking and cleaning so my man doesn’t give up on me and trade me in. JK. Be better at managing my time. There are so many things I could be better at and this year I want to explore how much better of a person I can be. Case in point my new blog. I absolutely loved my Austria blog but what do you know?! I got bored and quit. I promise I won’t leave anyone hanging this time.

So I rang in the New Year in Kansas City, with 2 other couples(not saying I didn’t love every minute of it BUT get real I wanted my handsome man). Yes I was a fifth wheel for the first part of 2012 and I still haven’t picked up my other wheel. Heading back to France in less than a week and I couldn’t be happier. I sit on the fence about whether I love the States or Europe more. I am getting closer and closer to that expat title. Being in your hometown for the holidays is always wonderful because it brings up happy memories. But as the place stays the same people change, some for the better, some for the worse, and some people leave your life all together.  So many people travel everywhere to spend time with family and loved ones during this season, and oh man is that stressful. I saw and talked to more people on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day than I had in a year. Granted I have an enormous family whom I love dearly but holy shite that is a whole lot of convo for my non social self.

I will be in France next week so I will be way more entertaining very soon. The troubles I can get into with my French friends are amazing and you will be jealous. Cheers to the New Year! Good Luck with the “resolutions.”

XOXO
