This. Was. Life. Changing. I cannot even...



Jewels on pages within Shakespeare & Co. bookstore






Decided to Metro over to Sacre-Couer while I waited for Amy's bus to get in. I leisurely walked back the way I thought was the Seine, then found another Metro and rode a few stops back to the Louvre



So interesting to see depictions of an affusion baptism of Christ.






I cried a little when I saw this painting in one of the sections of the aisle. It says "sing Ma" which literally means holy Mary. It refers to the Virgin Mary.















hahahahha, maybe someday we will come with our husbands and have a real Eiffel kiss. But I don't plan on getting married for a while, and I don't think I will be coming back to Paris extremely soon. I have other places on my list that I have never ever been to.











You always make these hearts in Asia

This crepe literally made Amy cry.
She CRIED!
You haven't lived until you have eaten a strawberry-nutella crepe in Paris



The D'Orsay!!!!!!!!!! We waited in ZERO lines. It's one of the best museums ever, in my opinion. While Amy sat to rest after hours of oohing and speculating over canvases, I wandered over to French Art Deco interior design. While standing there wondering about the details and life of 20th century Paris, a late 40s/50s something man started speaking to me in French. Harnassing all my high school French abilities, and thinking he would just state a brief observation about the ornate fireplace, I pretended to understand. Until it was too late and he spoke a good ten sentences before I hesitated awkwardly between one of his musings. Long story short, he said I looked completely Parisian, I almost died because that is like the best compliment in the world, then he ran up to me a minute later and gave me his phone number and suggested we get coffee the next day. There's a first for everything: get hit on by old French dudes.

























I crave this literally alllllllllll the timmmmmmmmmmmmmme














This girl's outfit was SO cute. And she reminded me of a modern Little Dancer.


















 Amy made me laugh so hard I cried










Virgin drinks at the pub in the Latin quarter. Best burger I've ever had. And the drinks were great too

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...
