Sorry it's been a while since our last post! We don't currently have internet at our apartment, and it might still be a while before we have it, so the posts might not be as often as we'd like for the next few weeks... and there's so much to say!
Anyway, on Thanksgiving Day we were able to move into our new apartment, which gave us a lot to be thankful for! We'd been in temporary housing for the prior month (and in 3 different places in that time!) so it felt very good to settle into a place where we'll be for a year! It's a very cute one bedroom right in the center of Paris, and we really like it. All of our stuff arrived on Monday, so we've been busy getting unpacked and finding room for 28 boxes of stuff- thankfully our new place has lots of storage!! We'll post pictures once we have internet at our apartment.
On the Saturday after Thanksgiving (Mary had to work on Thanskgiving Day since it's just an American holiday) we were able to attend a Thanksgiving dinner at one of the churches here. Everyone was supposed to bring a side dish, so we attempted to make a sweet potato casserole that's one of Mary's favorites. It miraculously turned out pretty well despite not being sure if we'd bought the right sweet potatoes, didn't know how long to cook them, only had metric measuring utensils, and not being able to find brown sugar (and mixing white sugar and honey instead!). It's always nice to have a taste of home - especially if you're celebrating far away from family and friends!
We'll write more later, but hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
Your fellow newlyweds are thankful you enjoyed your first honeymoon too but bummer that Mary had to work!
