Leaving Lille

Today is our last day with the Laveissieres in Lille! It's been so much fun and we've had lots of laughs, lots of good food and created an amazing friendship with Olympe. (After friendship with, my Kindle guessed Nutella. Yes I developed an amazing friendship with Nutella too:) ) It's weird to have a friend who doesn't speak your language fluently. It made things fun, sometimes confusing, funny and interesting. She could teach me so much and it was fun to learn from someone who speaks the language all the time.
Yesterday we played cards and games on the trampoline and made crepes for dinner. I had three whole crepes people!! Ruby and I split a yogurt to put on a crepe and Olympe couldn't believe it. She was like "you are very strange!" Haha. Then we go to Facebook that night and my mom has purple and hot pink hair. I was thinking, ya wait till you meet the rest of my family. ;)
Francois is definitely a character. One night I think he had a little too much wine and started singing and meowing at the dog. Or maybe that was just his funny personality. I've learned quite a bit of vocabulary but not enough to understand conversations or speak a lot by myself. I do have a better understanding of the common words and the accent though so I hope I keep learning and improving with Genevieve.
I've never ridden a train before so I'm rather excited!! :) This adventure has been magnificent so far! Now to Hogwarts Express!! ;)
I could. Not. Believe it!!

HOLIDAYS

I was so happy the Mijatovic family came to visit! Even though we're not related my blood, we're family! My lovely grandparents The newlyweds invited us and their friends to see the lights at Temple Square, then enjoy some pie and hot cocoa at their adorable apartment, conveniently located right by the temple. Such fun! Thanksgiving with the Siskins ....And everybody else ;)
The world is big. It can be scary. It can be a lot of things, a lot of adjectives because well, it's the WORLD. But there is so much  good  in it. Make it your mission to notice the good in every day life. One thing that you can count on is the sun. It rises, it's warm, it gives light. Things we need. Things that are good, life sustaining, bright. Happiness is not a side affect of a perfect life. Waiting to be happy is just plain silly. Happiness wants to come into your life, in fact, it already has, so acknowledge and befriend it. Make it deeper and better with gratitude, consistence and effort. The good in the world is apparent and abundant, just like happiness. Focusing on the good doesn't mean we ignore the sad stuff going on, refuse to ever watch the news, or be ignorant of pressing matters around the world. It just means that you cling to hope, never give up, fight discouragement and let the good into your life. Let the good in, put some good out, let light radiate fr...
