troisième mois

we've passed the third month, by the skin of our teeth.


highlights:
-getting called madam and smiling ear to ear about it.
-being able to read more and more french.
-feeling doused in God's love, thanks to family and friends.
-knowing that we've made it to the peak and are on the downhill part of this slope.
-TEMPLE. Temple. temple.
-baking a half birthday belgian chocolate cake.
-devin saying a prayer in sacrament meeting in french.
-dressing devin up with every hat and old man jacket in sight. if we try one on, we're bound to find one.
-fall leaves have changed over here. one month later than UT.
-grilled cheese and tomato soup favorite homemade dinner.
-favorite frenchisms: voila=there it is. used every sentence, literally. and s'il vous plaît=please. they say this after they give you something like a reciept, took some adjusting.
-devin and i both agreeing we finally feel at home here.
-fallen in love with zara, used to hate it. now i think it's much classier than H+M. take for example this coat.
-making our christmas lists. checked it twice. and dreamt some more about christmas.
-mail. i love the snail mail, belgian poste.
-not celebrating halloween for the first time in our lives.
-deciding against ever living in seattle. daily rainclouds are not for devin.
-because we had to start using them this month, i've come to love old these kind of old radiators. add them to the inspirations for the future casa.

pardon the mens undies in the back

see that sign back there?

flea markets. i must get my weekly fix. who is up for starting one in utah?

this picture is sorta how the month has felt. windswept and tornado-like. it's been a great ride.
