This was a really funny fountain, you can't see it very clearly, but there are people with frog faces.

Versaille
Versaille is the location of one of France's most well-known palaces. It takes about an hour to get there from downtowm Paris, but was well worth the visit. Of all the palaces we saw in Europe, those in France were the most grand, colorful, and impressive (notice the gold gates!). Upon the grounds of the palace there were several smaller "palaces" one of which was the private home of Marie Antoinette.

Notre Dame
La Sainte Chapelle Cathedral
The Sacre Coeur Cathedral

Slackers!
Yes it is true. David and I have seriously neglected our blog. Actually I'll be surprised if anyone even checks this anymore, but I'm holding out hope! We just had so much to write about the idea of putting it all up on the blog was daunting! So, to make things easier I will attempt to write shorter less detailed entries.
We are still alive and well. We are back in Maryland now after our fun adventures in Europe. David is getting through his final semester of law school and I am looking for a job and crafting like mad.
So, Europe! Yes we had an amazing and wonderful time. In fact I'm ready to go back right now! We ended up going to 7 different countries, UK, Ireland, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, and Austria. They were all incredible experiences and if you really want to here about them in detail please ask!
Ireland was definitely my favorite, such natural beauty! Living in the Netherlands was great, we are missing our little home there and the delicious food! We were lucky enough to have David's sister Kristen and her husband Tyler come and visit us for a week. My parents and sister Nikki and her boyfriend were also able to come out for a week around Thanksgiving. It was so great to have them there. Even though it was an amazing experience, being in a foreign country with no family or friends is a little lonely. We were very happy to see so many of our family members at Christmas and had a wonderful time, even though I was horribly sick with the stomach flu! We miss everyone and hope you are all doing well!
