It's officially been over three months since I moved to France. Three months is the maximum amount of time you can stay in certain countries without having to get a long stay visa. So, when you think of it like that, three months is kind of like the maximum length of time for a 'vacation' in Europe. So it's official, my vacation is over. I guess I knew that already when I got into a routine of waking up at 6:30am to go to work some days. On days like that I never feel like like I'm on vacation.
It's been awhile since I've seen a familiar face from back home. I guess the last one I saw was my friend Sim when we went to Nimes. And before that it was Emily who visited from Ireland. But now I've got the greatest visitor of all. Mommy's here!
We've been keeping in touch a lot so I didn't really feel I had that much to say to her it terms of 'catching up' when she arrived yesterday. But it does feel great to show her around the city and see it through her eyes for the first time. I guess that was the same look of awe I had in my face when I first got here. My favourite part of yesterday was when I caught my mom smiling uncontrollably. She couldn't stop! It was hilarious/amazing. I don't remember the last time I saw her so happy. I think it had more to do with her being in France than seeing me. She's here for two weeks so I'll have plenty of stories to let you in on... trust me.

Say "hi" to your mother for me.
Aw, that's so nice Sophia. I'm glad you have your mom there for a bit!
