Congratulations!!

It’s been awhile since I’ve stepped into blog land and I have a lot of catching up to do. I’ve mostly been keeping busy with work, helping my husband study for his exam and finishing too many shows that I care to admit.

I’m going to start by congratulating my husband for getting accepted into TWO different French programs abroad! The first program is called Explore and it’s a 4 week French course that takes place in Quebec City, Quebec. The program also takes place in Montreal, Ottawa and New Brunswick but my husband’s first choice was Quebec City. This also means that I’ll be heading there for vacation! Woot woot! I’ve never been to Quebec City before so I’m pretty excited. The plan is to go there once his course is finished and spend the weekend there.

The second course is also 4 weeks and takes place in St. Etienne France, a small town near Lyon. The course takes place near the end of the summer and the plan is for me to go to Europe at the end of the course so we can both go to Amsterdam, Brussels and Frankfurt. This vacation is not 100% planned yet as we’re not quite sure if my husband can go as his stay in Quebec will take away from work time so we may not have the funds to afford the trip. We will do our best to save from now until August so we can make this trip a reality.

I’m really proud of my husband for getting into these programs and starting his journey into the French language. Since French is Canada’s second official language I know it will be an advantage when applying for jobs and also open doors abroad. I have to admit I’m a little bit jealous that he'll get the summer of a life time while I work but you can't always have everything right? I've also had the opportunity to learn French while in school and didn't take it so seriously so I hope he does and learns a lot more than I ever did.
