Our New Blog

Chris and I have completed our 9 month French adventure, so we thought it would be a good idea to begin a new blog for our next adventure...living in Indiana (our homestate) for a year.

We are currently living with Chris' parents at their lovely country house. We spend our days picking blueberries and garden veggies, tending the garden (herb and vegetable), and going through our mass of boxes down in the basement to prepare for a yard sale in September.

We will be able to pick up our keys to our new apartment in Bloomington on August 1st. I'm SOOO looking forward to finally seeing our new place in person! Chris' parents were nice enough to find it for us. On Aug 5th, we fly up to NYC, get our things out of the Bronx storage unit, and haul it back here. By Aug 8th, we will be moving in our furniture and will be able to start settling in.

Being back in the states after living in France has been quite an adjustment. I really do miss Marseille, but am feeling better about being back. Somedays are harder than others...when I look up at the grey sky and think about the beautiful blue sky of the Mediterranean, or go to the supermarket and am unable to find good produce & wine, or driving in a car for hours to get somewhere...but there are good things too, like being on the same time as family and being able to see them whenever we want, and not having to think in dual languages every day.

Chris will be going through the research information he aquired in France this year, and will write his PhD dissertation. As for me, my schedule is wide open. I am unable to work as a Hypnotist in IN, due to the insane hypnosis laws, so at this point, I'm not making any plans to work. I have a few projects I need to complete this year, and am opening myself to other opportunities if they were to present themselves.

We are still off the cell phone grid at the moment, but will be getting new phones soon and will update everyone on that info when we have it.
