Leaving France

As I look back on my 3 ½ months in France, it all seems like a blur. The trip was definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity. It was an amazing learning experience for me and my job, and also for me personally. I lived in some mountain cottages, up in the hills nestled in the Alps. It was gorgeous and every day I was amazed by my views.

I was blessed to have some great friends and family come over to share my experience with me. I wish my sister and Henry could have made it over, but I have a feeling I will be going back in the future.

My assignment taught me so much about my job and how the world works outside of Polaris Corporate. My main project during the assignment is going well and I am really proud of what I learned and what I hope to continue to learn. I worked with some amazing people in the France office who were patient with me and always willing to teach me new things.

Being back home has been great. I swear I have not sat down in the 10 days since I have been home, but I love it. I have redone my entire bedroom, with the help of Katie, and printed some amazing pictures from my trip to put all over the house.

I will post pics of the new bedroom later this week. Thanks for checking in. Au revoir.

Home Sweet Home

I guess some people miss my blog when I am away for a while…. But anyway, I am home now. I got home last Thursday with mom and dad. We had a great trip to Italy and they spent some great days around my place in France.

The drive to Italy was crazy as it was an Italian holiday, and every Italian and their mother was out driving with us that day. We spent a couple days in Cinque Terre and then stopped in Pisa on the way to Florence. I think we got all of the foods mom wanted to try crossed off of our list right away. Creme brulee, tiramisu, lasagna pesto, some good wine and much more.

We went to an amazing museum in Florence and walked around the city all afternoon. We were pretty spent after walking for 3 days.

Mom and dad spent a couple days at my place relaxing and a couple days in Chamonix. Check out the highlights from our trip. It was one for the scrapbooks.
