Our First Visitor!

Thank you so much Gigi "Trailblazer" Campbell for spending a wonderful week with us in March. It was our pleasure to host you here in Clermont and to discover parts of Paris with you as well. We spent 2 days in Paris visiting the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Sacre Coeur and other sites. We were too excited to have a familiar face with us. Having Gigi here was like a little bit of home. She even brought us gifts from our church family in Columbia. We really miss you guys too!!! Gigi was a great guest, trying new foods, going to the top of the Eiffel Tower, and driving the countryside around Clermont with me. We had lunch with some of my friends and did a little shopping in Paris as well. See, we know how to treat guests right and we are looking forward to many more visitors, hint, hint! Here are some of the pictures from Gigi's visit to Paris.

The visit was great, but the icing on the cake was a surprise party for my 3?th birthday!
Preston is a very thoughtful husband and he enlisted one of my friends here to help him pull off the party. I wanted to have a party so I picked a date, planned a menu and wrote a guest list. But with everything going on, I decided to just have lunch with friends. Well Preston took it upon himself to throw the party for me. It was good to get together with adult friends and celebrate! I was able to spend time with people that have really helped me adjust to life here. I call them my France survival team. Kim and Paula were not able to make it to the party and were really missed! I really appreciate my new friends for their prayers, coffee talks, lunches and for those that are French, their expertise with the language! I am looking forward to many more adventures with you ladies.
