CDG-> Loire Valley

We landed at 8 am France time, went through customs (super easy!), and then headed to the rental car place. It took a bit, but as soon as we got our car we started making our way to the Loire Valley--about 3 hours away. (Marty was a champ for driving after a flight where we didn't really sleep.)

On our drive we saw lots of these funny looking trees. Marty said they could've been out of a Dr. Seuss book.



We arrived at our charming Chateaux (Les hauts de Loire) and we were both exhausted.

The Chateaux (It kind of looks like Marty's parents house. haha.)

The Carriage House and Bistro.







After a several hour nap haha we headed to the Bistro on our hotel's property for dinner. We were the only ones there when we arrived because we had a 7:15 reservation, and that's early for dinner in France (from what I gather).  It was yummy! I had chicken cooked to perfection and Marty had fish. We also tried a floating island and lemon meringue for dessert.


Isn't the presentation so beautiful?

We had a friend join us for dinner.

We then walked back to the chateaux and attempted to go bed for the night.

I figured I'd be pregnant within the first few months of the new year, but nope. God had other plans. I was called as YW President in January (a shock to everyone including me!) and that consumed a lot of my time and energy throughout the year. It's been a rewarding experience.  I started weight training for the first time in my life and discovered that I really loved it. Last December, HR closed their rec center childcare and I was crushed because that meant I could no longer go to their daytime classes. I thought nothing could compare to those classes. But I was so wrong. I have loved the cardio/weight training at Chuze and have loved going to classes with my friends several days each w...

Baby #2

 And baby #2 is a... GIRL! Bring on the pink. Marty's not a huge fan of gender reveals...but I thought it'd be fun to do a little something. I ended up bringing pink donuts to YWs and surprising the girls. The girls gave me all the reactions I had hoped for ;)
