Good News!

We found an apartment!!!! It’s too good to be true. It’s cheaper, bigger and in the center of Paris (one of the best areas of Paris: Saint-Germain-des-Pres). The apartment is located in the 6th arrondissment of Paris on Boulevard Saint-Germain. We move December 1st!

Back

We are back from vacation and looking for another apartment. Hopefully we can find something by the end of the month. We’ve also posted all the pictures from our trip.

Apartment Search

We have been looking for apartments for the last week, as we need to be out of our current one by the end of the month. The only way to get something decent seems to be to go through an agency. We are hopeful of finding something very soon. The guestbook here was broken for a while, but it has been fixed now. We also added lots of pictures recently, so check them out if you have time. Also, Sophie won a contest for us to have a free hotel stay during our honeymoon. Thanks, Sophie!

Checking In from Les Rousses

Hi everyone, we have been on vacation in Les Rousses since last week. Sara’s grandparents from Baton Rouge are here, as are all of her French family. We are staying with her grandfather’s sister. It has been snowing like crazy, and very cold! But it is a lot of fun and we are having a great time. We went to Geneva yesterday, and have been able to see the Alps a whole bunch. We have taken so many pictures, it will be hard to go through them all. But we’ll put them up when we get back. Talk to you all soon, we are coming back on Sunday. We are having a celebration tomorrow with 25 people for our engagement! Bye for now, Sara and Kyle.

LA BLAGUE DE l’ISCIO

ISCIO just put up a video of me torturing some poor French students with a lecture in English. Check it out by clicking right here.

Only one week until vacation!

New Hours

I was able to get my work hours changed now, so I get off at 5 instead of 6:30 (which is a normal end of work day time here). It so far has been much better, and allows more time to do things on weeknights. We are going to visit with Sara’s family in about a week, and her grandparents will be coming from the U.S. We added a new feature to the Photo Albums- you can now view an album as a Slide Show. Just click on the album you want to view, and then click on the Slide Show link at the top of the page of thumbnail photos. The photos will then be shown in order, at full size, allowing you to navigate between them using left and right arrow buttons.

Update

We just got a new web server with ten times the storage space, so we have plenty of room now for pictures. We have added a new photo album from a few weeks ago during our trip to the Louvre. Sara started teaching today and she is working at three different schools! Tomorrow is a big decision day for Kyle, hopefully it will work out! We’ll be in touch soon, thanks for stopping by.

Apartment

Well, as great as our apartment must look in all the pictures, we have decided to try and find another place to live. A combination of lack of space, horrible neighbors, and poor location has been driving us nuts, and so we are on the market for something better. We are hoping to move to somewhere around the 14th arrondissement in Paris, so if anyone has any leads please let us know! Last weekend we saw the movie ‘Max’. I”m not sure when/if it ever came out in the U.S., but it was in English and pretty interesting. I think we would give it two thumbs up. Also, happy birthday to my Mom! Wish we were there.

Pictures

We added tons of new pictures today. Check them out under photo albums. Thanks everyone for looking at our site, we are having a lot of fun with it.

Internet and Commie Festivals

Hi, we finally got setup with the internet today. We will be putting all of our pictures on the website soon. Tonight we are going to Fete de l’humanite, a big festival put on by the newspaper of the French Communist Party! The festival started in 1930 (interrupted only during the war), but today it is all fun and games without the politics. We will try to take pictures.
