yaaaaaaaaaay!!!

We found an apartment today...its small, But, I think it is bigger than our place in Provo. :] it is newly painted and on the top floor of a very old building. our building is in the old part of town as well so all the homes and buildings around us are from the 1800’s i’m guessing. it is a very quiet part of town and is very beautiful. it is a short walk from many good places to see and some very good and cheap shops that we plan to go to often. i am not worried about neighbors being terrible either because everyone that lives their is either elderly or they are students at the Cavalam, so they are working hard all day. i sort of wish that the Cavalam wasn’t so expensive so i could take classes there. all well Chantal is going to talk to some people to see if i can do a kind of language exchange where i would help some people with their english conversation and they would help me with french. it could be fun and very helpful to all parties involved. i think we might get cable in our place so i can watch some french t.v. as well which will help a lot i think. and i want to read the bom in french. hopefully soon i can get a joseph smith manual in french so i can read it next to my english one. i would really like to understand at least what is happening at church. however things really aren’t as bad as they seem to be with the way i am talking. really i understand a little more each day i think and i am getting a bit braver. hopefully soon i will get out of my rut and start speaking a bit more. i have realized that its not that i don’t know how to say things correctly so i get timid. no, it isn’t that. it’s that the moment i want to say something the entire sentence just disappears from my brain. and sometimes i simply just don’t know the words. it’s frustrating. but it will get better i’m sure! i truly love it here. it is beautiful and i get so much time with mark we don’t know what to do with ourselves....it is wonderful to spend so much time with him. he is such a great man. so excited about life...about france....about me in france....:] he is adorable and the love of my life. never will i find one to match me so again. good job Heavenly Father.
