Nous allons à Paris

Hi friends and fam,

Some of you have already heard Nick and my summer plans so this post will bore you. But now that things are looking a little more certain, we thought we would make it official by posting on the blog...we're headed to Paris!

I am being temporarily transferred for work and will probably leave around May 9th. Nick will finish out the school year at Mercer and then he'll come out and meet me for July and maybe part of August as well.

There's no official "end date" but we will probably both be back home in August or September.

Needless to say, we're very excited and we can't wait to do some traveling while we're over there. And we welcome visitors so set your fare alerts!

Au revoire!

P.S. - I am starting a Paris only blog so that I can add girlie stuff like pictures of poodles and flower markets without boring the Beyond Stanus followers. If you want to follow, the address is sallyinparis.onsugar.com.

Splendidness

Sup,

It has been a while and we hope that you all are feeling splendid. As for us, things are going well. My work at Mercer Middle School here in Seattle has been keeping me quite busy. 6th graders as you can imagine, are well, sheesh. But, by golly, they sure can be fun.

You know what else is fun? A little raarr from Sam Jackson.



Yeah Sammy, RIP.

We all loved you, Samuel, but we have to get back to the fun. And speaking of fun, I get to start some more chemo on Friday! Jealous much. Okay so that kind of sucks but at least it is for a good reason, which is to not have any cancer cells grow back. Whaddya gonna do?

How about cheer up with this...




Aww, shameless.

But in all seriousness, the stars are aligning for what may be the best summer ever. I can't say much because our tickets are not punched yet, but there may be a fun little voyage.



Oh really? Yes really.

Voyages are great, just like when we made one to this little lunch spot out side of Black River, Jamaica.



And not much, beats riding on the back of 50cc through the streets of the DR.




How about a Lake Travis, Texas at sunrise?



Of course, the Orygun Coast is not just known for its salty dogs and bloody marys.




Splendid indeed. Hope you all have a wonderful evening, morning, day and so on.
