An American woman married to a Frenchman talks about her new life in Paris and the challenges of learning a new language and adjusting to everyday life, both as a foreigner and as a newlywed.
Aww. I'm sure he's ok; people are really helpful and concerned about stuff like that here. Like if someone drops a piece of baby's clothing, for example, (which seems to happen a lot for some reason), the next person to come along will carefully prop it up on the wall or fence nearby so the owner can find it easily if they backtrack. I'm not quite sure how this could apply to cats too, but I'm just sayin.
I grew up in Delaware and had your average American upbringing. A few years ago a boy from France wrote to me on Myspace because we both liked the band Yo La Tengo. The rest is history. We wrote a bit back and forth, then more and more, then talked on the phone, then met and were engaged after a week together, and a year later we were married! I have never been happier, and now our life together is just beginning...I'm moving to Paris to be with him. My French is not too good yet, and I will have many adventures, I'm sure. I'd like to share them with you if you're interested! I am a podcast nerd, I like making collages and my own Christmas cards, I love cooking and museums and shopping in outdoor markets, I love cats and long walks.
If Tim sees this he'll be sad.
