sad endings, new beginnings

I have officially been home for a little over a month and working on readjusting to life in the US of A. I had a super hard time leaving and knowing I was leaving a job, friends, an apartment, and a routine behind. As difficult as it was to come home, I had a lot to look forward to and it seems as though I launched into summer quickly. About 24 hours after I flew home, we drove up to upstate NY to see my sister graduate from Hobart and William Smith. The weather was dy-na-mite and it was nice to get some sun and spend time with my family. 


congrats gracie!



Next up, mom and I took a little trip to NYC for a doctors' appointment ... and a little bit of fun. We got to go to Upright Citizens Brigade theater for an improv show, did some light shopping, and had a cupcake tasting test ... Magnolia Bakery won. I finished my stay with a visit with Allison on set of GIRLS which was beyond amazing.





I decided to use my time with no commitment or job wisely, and headed to Miami for doctor's appointments, physical therapy, and some intense heat and sun. I was there for two weeks learning as much as I could and working on getting back in shape after 8 months of wine and cheese ...

I miss Rennes everyday and I will never forget all of the people I met there and all of the amazing opportunities I had over the past two years. I'm excited to be home and to start new adventures so stay tuned in case they bring me overseas once again ...
