8 Days

I am writing this from Chattanooga, TN at an event I have been coordinating for the last few months. Everything has finally calmed down and really gotten under way so I have a little time to take a breath and catch up. What the calming down has done is made me realize that in 8 quick days I will be on my one-way flight to Paris!!!! It is amazing how fast time flies by. The good news is I am going to be ready to go once I get there. My things (mostly shoes and clothes, and photos of very important people) have already arrived and are in storage waiting for me to get there. Once I have those delivered to my (gorgeous) apartment I will be ready to really get settled in my new home across the pond : ) What is still amazing to me is the amount of communication and paperwork there is when applying and receiving a French work visa, as this is my first time being an expat, I am not sure how other countries are but this seems to be very involved. I am just hoping that my visa picture never leaks out online or to anyone for that matter, not so hot!!!! Speaking of which I need to send some more information to the packing/moving company now.




Let the countdown begin ...............
