Seven years ago today, I was sitting on a bridge over the Seine watching fireworks over the Eiffel Tower and probably drinking red wine straight from the bottle! I was studying in Paris for the summer. It was one of the most memorable summers of my life! We had such a blast. I often think about how we managed to get around for 5 weeks with no cell phones, no gps, and very limited access to the internet in a foreign country! We did it! I spent a lot of money on calling cards to call Heath daily! We were newly engaged and I missed him soooo much, but these girls did a good job of distracting me because we had so much fun together! I wish I had a picture of us watching the fireworks, but I don't on my computer...and I am too lazy to dig out my discs in the basement. Here are a few I had on Facebook!

I'm pretty sure that all 3 of these girls are living it up in NYC while I'm home in Kansas with a husband and 2 kids! |

| Watching the Tour de France! My parents sent us some American flags...I remember everyone being a little reluctant to wave them, but we were pretty conservative compared to some of the others we saw! It was fun to see Lance win #7 (I think). |

I'm linking up with Emily today!

Sounds like an amazing experience. I'm sure you'll always remember it fondly. And great photos.
Wow! What a fabulous experience!
Very neat! Great pictures!
what a dream! My only regret in life is that I didn't study abroad in college. Ahhhh, boo hoo
Fun! My days of traveling around Europe seem long ago and far away from life with 3 little ones...but you've revived some fun memories today. And of course I am so thankful to be here, now, in this different and wonderful kind of life! :)
I really wish I would have studied abroad in college. You pics are amazing!
How fun! Great pictures.
You've just reminded me of some of the best days of my life when I also got to live in Europe. Best times! Thank you for sharing. You just got yourself a new follower :)
