Kate and Fleet

I've decided to retire my Katrina La Voyageuse blog and move on to a new one: kateandfleet.blogspot.com (an abbreviation of my maiden name and married name). Here's to a fresh start!

Iles Flottantes

Just ran across this gem of a blog post draft. I think this was one of my last ile flottante before I left.
I can't believe it's almost been a year.

Lennon & Maisy Stella: Call Your Girlfriend

I know this has zero to do with France or travels or even French music, but you have to listen to these girls. Can you believe that they're only 12 and 8 years old?

One suspicious receipt

In my cleaning up the house since I've been home, I made a funny discovery -- a certain Target receipt on a certain April 17th, the day I flew home from France. Somebody did some last minute cleaning before my late-night flight landed at Sky Harbor. That's my man. :) 

9 years and a day

Nine years and five days ago, Tyler asked me if I would be his girlfriend and I told him no -- that I would not start dating him yet because I didn't want to be distracted during finals week. Luckily he wasn't deterred by what a mega-nerd I was.

circa 2003

Thanks for always humoring me, babe.

Home Sweet Home

Three weeks home and I'm just now posting about it! It's been a busy three weeks (with the photos to show for it) with dentist/doctor appointments, interviews, wedding planning, seeing family and friends, visiting my favorite places, and going back to work. I miss France a lot already but I feel a kind of relief being home, with the bite of my first bagel, my first drive, the first hugs. Who ever knew kissing people on the cheek could feel so much less personal than a hug?
