I Forgot to Mention

 Part I - Mr. Medina

Jason is my home teacher from church. He’s working here in France for a nuclear power company (he’s American). He has three cute kids and an adorable wife. Here are 3 reasons why Brother Medina is a cool guy :

1.    * He rocks burkenstocks with socks

2.   *   He invites me round to eat delicious goods that his wife Mariann has baked

3.    * He has a soft heart and will always lend an ear

A while back on my way to school, I noticed a new kebab joint that had opened up along the way, called ‘Medina’s’. Brother Medina and my other home teacher, David went there last Friday for lunch (mainly to take pictures). Here are the pictures we took :

Brother Medina, YOU have officially featured on my blog ! Thanks for being a good friend to me here in France ! 

Part II - Nounou

So a while back I got a job as a nanny (nounou in French). I now look after 2-year-old Giulia. She's teeny, cute and full of beans (when she's awake that is). A lot of the time she's sleeping... But we like to ride bikes in the garden and eat the gourmet food that her mum has defrosting for us (oh the French).

Look how responsible I am these days!

Part III - Jordan 

So, probably more importantly, I forgot to mention that Jordan and I have been dating for a few months now. He's my nerdy, LDS equivalent and hails from Utah, USA (no, the American jokes never wear thin). After talking for hours and hours and houuuuuuurrrrsssss every day for a very long time, he arrived in Paris last week and I picked him up from the airport and brought him back to Lyon. We've had a great time so far. He'll be here another 10 days. Here are some pictures from our adventures (look how lovely he is!)

See? It was meant to be!

This picture serves as confirmation of the previous statement.

We explored the beautiful city of Lyon. We went to the Croix Rousse, to Vieux Lyon, Hôtel de Ville and to Fourvière.

After a fun-filled week in Lyon, I took Jordan to Denmark to meet my family. It was fine. I'll blog about that next time.

Happy Easter
