Merry Christmas!

I've been in Europe for 11 days now and loving every minute of it. We were in Paris for 6 days and now we're spending 6 days in the beautiful, vast countryside of Belgium. I love the contrast between the dirty, busy, metropolitan city and the calm, quiet, tranquil country. Both are great...but completely opposite in every way. After Christmas we're going to Germany for a few days and then back to Paris for New Year's Eve...I'm excited for the adventures that are in store as we continue our journey.
I've taken about a million photos so far, and even though the photos never do justice for the real life experience, I've posted a few of my favorites below (PS it was so difficult for me to try to limit it to 30 haha)

Enjoy! And Merry Christmas!!!

10 days...

In only 10 days I'm going to be leaving on a jet plane to meet my cousin in Europe for the Christmas break. I'm SO excited...seriously can't contain myself.

Sneak peak: I'm going to be here on New Year's Eve...

I'll post some pics of our adventures when I get over there (or when I get back). But since I'm leaving so soon and will be quite busy over the break exploring new cities...I've been thinking about new year's resolutions recently...

I've never really been big into new year's resolutions. I mean I definitely set goals for myself, some that are written down and others just in my mind, and I try to improve and grow and become better, but new year's resolutions have never been my strong point. Maybe part of that is because I don't want to set a bunch of big goals and see them fail after a month or two into the year. And maybe it's because I hate going to the gym during January since it's PACKED full of people who will only be there for two or three weeks before the crowd dies down as their new year's resolutions fade. I don't know. But I've been thinking about giving it a shot this year.

What should I do? I have some ideas bouncing around in my head, nothing too concrete yet...but I'm kinda excited about some of them...

I think it's a good year to try this whole "new year's resolution" thing.
