It's a New Year... hummmmm...usually I am SO into January. It's almost as good as September with the feeling of a fresh start. Sometimes I wonder when I don't have any more kids in the house, if September will have the same feel... I tend to think so... old habits die hard.
This is the first beginning to a new year, that I don't feel the love of moving forward. You see, Scott's cancer has spread. Not hugely, but even a tiny bit is too much in my estimation. Luckily, we didn't find out until Dec. 27, so Christmas was wonderful. I will admit though, that a big, dark cloud feels like it's hanging on the horizon. I WILL get past this feeling I know... but I feel compelled to be honest here, and not tell you what I think you want to hear... but to tell you the truth. This is hard.
Now...moving on.
Scott has asked me to start blogging again. He says he misses Paris so much, and would I please get back to it. So here's a short video. It's our very last night in Paris this past September. We had walked through the COLD and RAIN to our favorite place, and it was CLOSED. We were devastated. We had saved it for our last night. We walked back towards the apartment, and ducked into this tiny restaurant that we have eaten at before. Not the best food in the world, but passable, and cheap! I just love the atmosphere.
You know when you are doing something, and at that moment, you realize you will never forget it? This is one of those moments. We were having such a great time laughing at nothing, even though the return to the U.S. was hanging heavily over our heads. We didn't get in until after 11pm. It was a great night.
So signing off today with some giggles. Hope you giggled too! OH... and Happy New Year!
Teri
