Bonjour!

Bonjour! It's a new life in France for my family...We have arrived here in a small city southwest of Paris for a week now. We are homeless, carless and poor! Yes, everything's so expensive here even with the Euros at one of it's lowest rate now. Sigh, the most difficult part is the language and despite learning it from a private tutor prior to coming here. Truly understand the term 'duck and chicken' lol!

We are still in the midst of finding a rental house which is really difficult as there are not many in the market and many people are also looking for a place...We have put in our interest in a house so we are just waiting for the owner to accept us. Or else we have to start looking again. Yes, we are so desperate for a place that we are actually putting in our interest for a house that is just a stone throw away from a cemetery.....note the desperation?! But it seems that that is a cemetery in every few streets here in France....Not sure if it's a norm...

Hope to get a place by this month so that I can start cooking for the family..and my toddler and crawler who have been eating microwave and bottled food. Praying hard!!!
