I am sitting in the airport right now. Saying au revoir to my Mom, Dad, Sister and Berit was much hard that I expected. We had our last hugs 45 minutes ago now and I just stopped crying. I know that those around me think I am crazy, maybe not if they knew I was leaving America for 12-18 months. Hmmm, but since when have I cared what people thought :)
On another note, I am so excited about France. I still do not know exactly what I am getting myself in to but I am so ready to learn and grow. I can't wait to meet "my family," especially the kids. I am praying that they like me, and I am exactly what they expected, but we'll find out! YAY!!!
I will try to blog as often as I can, I need to get in the habit of doing so.
Au revoir all loved ones in America! Remember anyone going to Europe in the next 12-18 months, email me, facebook me, anything, even if I barely know you, seeing a familiar face across the pond will help me through :)
Happy New Year!

The Journey Begins
I got a job! I received a call at 10:00 am this morning from Mrs. Besson, the mother of the family I will be an au pair for, and she talked to me about the next steps I need to take in order to get my visa to MOVE to DIJON, FRANCE for 18 MONTHS! I still can't believe this is all really happening. I will be an au pair for the Besson family. They have 4 children, twin 11 year old girls, a 7 year old girl and a 5 year old boy, so I will surely have my hands full. I am set to move at the very end of December in order to start working January 2nd. So far that is about as much as I know. I will fill y'all in on my journey to get my visa as that begins.
