Salutations de Aix-en-Provence
It has been too long since I updated this blog, but I am very happy to report that I am currently in the land of
narrow, winding streets (with lovely Christmas decorations)
smelly cheese
and most importantly...
The USS Bush pulled into Marseille, France (despite Fox News and other outlets giving me a heart attack by implying they had diverted to Syria) a few days ago, and I got to hug my husband for the first time in nearly seven months. We are enjoying some quiet time together before the "real" homecoming madness with our kids, the holidays, and our extended families. I can't thank my family enough for caring for my 2 and 1 year old so that we could have this time together. It is priceless, and oh my did I ever need this break from my routine.
Au revoir, for now. We are off to drink too much, eat too much, and enjoy our last night in this beautiful city.

Hi, I'm Jill!
Extrovert. Mom of two. Wife of a cute Naval Aviator. Lover of wine. When I'm not chasing my two kids around town you will find me writing, taking too many photos, and researching the ten future areas the Navy could potentially (but probably won't) PCS us. We are fish out of water, landlocked at 7,000 feet. For now.
