pair-us together...

so i've been looking for a calendar to put up in my office.
and what i really want is flat post-cardy type things.
so i can put them on a bulletin board and hang up other necessary items.

and today i found it...this paris is for lovers calendar.

see, paris and i have an interesting relationship...
for the first 20 some odd years of my life
i always thought, no, was positive
i would HATE paris. just hate it.
and i never had any desire whatsoever to go there.

then, back in 2006, i studied abroad for a summer in edinburg, france.
part of our program was to go to paris for 2 days.
i was not excited. everyone else was.
so we fly on over there...and we get on the metro to go into the city.

and i fell in love.

we had a romantic and quick 2 day affair.
i literally walked all over the city.
i ate SO much food.
i sat at a little cafe and people watched...
we went to the Eiffel tower at night and went up to the top
to see Paris lit up.
i fell so in love with the Arc de Triomphe
that we now have a picture of it hanging in our house.

needless to say, i think i need this.

from here.
