I Am Here!
Hello France! I arrived here last Thursday afternoon. Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts I was really nervous about flying by myself, but everything went really well. My favorite airport that I went through was Lyon, because when I got off the plane I didn't have to go through security again yay! For a few days I caught up on sleep and unpacked. I got a tour of the Chateau and found it to be even bigger and better than in the pictures I have seen. On the weekend the whole group went on a picnic and toured a castle, which had a moat how awesome it that! I have enjoyed my time here so far and have enjoyed hanging out with my two house mates. Went grocery shopping today and found Philadelphia cream cheese and bought Gouda cheese, which always reminds me of the movie "She's the Man." I have a feeling that this summer is going to go fast, but it is going to be the best summer thus far. But I do I did not pack for cold weather uh-oh lol. well for now Au revoir!

Packing, Packing, and Packing
So not much has been going on besides waiting and packing. This is the longest trip I have had to pack for and frankly I did not realize all there is that I would need to fit into one suitcase or how much room shoes take up. I must say I am most nervous about the plane ride and layovers and I will be relieved when I get there, but God will be with me all throughout the airport and on the planes watching over me. Well as I have been home waiting and spending last moments with friends and family I get more and more excited for France and The Chateau although it took a while for me to get really pumped it just didn't feel real until now. I thank you all for your prayers, happy wishes and thoughts and I hope to have more regular updates in the future as more exciting things happen!

Tickets!
So i am excited to say I have my tickets!! I am both excited and nervous mostly about flying. I have never flown by myself before so this will be a new experience for me as well as France. I would like to thank everyone who worked hard to get me to France. Right now the ending of this school semester is coming to a close and my days are filled with exams and packing. In 16 days I will be on the plane headed to the Chateau. Please pray for save travels and that I won't get lost in the airports hehe.
