house model #3
matt has taken another step in the plans for the house. The house is now being constructed out of wood. Our apartment cannot handle too many more house models! This is the beginning stage, I will post the finished product in a few days.

we are finding places for more and more things. I bought this 3D map of the mountains around the area for matt's birthday a few years ago and we finally hung it in the living!

wow, french class has taken up more time than expected. I have had to resort to the so called "real life" and plan on doing personal things on the weekend such as updating a blog and cleaning my house. But have no fear this real life will only be for another two weeks. 


There is a new ski shop, Pure, up in Barboleuse. I haven't actually been to it yet but caught site of some of their advertising on a pole down in the valley.

I like to change my surroundings every so often. Only problem is our apartment is set up in a way where you can't really do much to it. So I stacked our two shelves on top of each other for a bit of a change.

Back to the subject of matt & his race. Training in ski boots 5 to 6 times a week can do some damage to your feet. To keep the medicine on his foot matt has been sleeping with plastic wrap on it.
