The bus was late, but there was a lot of people in it, so I was not surprised when I got in. Then, we arrived near Allemont (so almost in Bourg d'Oisans) and there was a line of cars on the road, blocked. The driver asked the fireman that was there what was happening and he said that there was a snow avalanche that just fell! So we were stuck... After some time, I went to see what the avalanche looked like... It was very big, about 3 meters high for about 200 meters of the road... If we had not been late, we might have been caught in it...! Thankfully, no one was underneath it... So we waited and I texted Dan to tell him what happened and he offered to come and get me via another small road. So after about 40 minutes, he called me and said that he made it and that he would wait for the bus to backup where he was and then I could go with him. The policemen made the bus back away from the road because there was a risk of more avalanches on that road... So, Dan found me and I got the computer out from underneath the bus and I went with him. Also, I was sitting next to one of our neighbours and I asked her if she wanted to come with us. So she came along. Then, we went back to the small road Dan took to get there, but the policemen told us that we couldn't go through there because if we had an accident, it would be their fault... ! So, we waited in the car. I was praying that the engines that were supposed to come to take out all the snow from the road, will arrive quickly and be efficient.After about ten minutes, we saw cars coming from the other direction and the cars we were with starting to move towards the road. So we went on and the avalanche was put out ... !So, thanks God for keeping us same on the road, and for the people who cleared the road very quickly I thought. &lt;hr width=30%&gt;Hier, je suis allée à Grenoble pour récupérer notre ordinateur qui était en réparation...Caleb m'a emmenée et je suis rentrée en bus. Le bus était en retard, mais il y avait beaucoup de personnes dedans donc ça ne m'a pas surpris.  Puis, nous sommes arrivés vers Allemont (donc pas loin de Bourg d'Oisans) et il y avait un bouchon avec des voitures arrêtées devant nous, bloquées. Le chauffeur du bus a demandé à un pompier qui était là ce qu'il se passait et il lui a répondu qu'il y avait eu une avalanche de neige qui bloquait toute la route qui venait de tomber! Donc, nous étions coincés...Après un certain temps, je me suis dit que je pourrais aller voir cette avalanche (plusieurs personnes du bus y étaient allées déjà)... Elle prenait effectivement toute la route et faisait environ 3 mètres de haut sur 200 mètres ! Si le bus n'avais pas été en retard, il est possible que nous aurions été dessous... Heureusement, personne n'était coincé dessous! onc, nous avons attendu et j'ai envoyé un texto à Dan pour lui dire ce qu'il se passait. Il m'a demandé si je voulais qu'il vienne me chercher, car il y a une autre route, très petite et difficile. Donc il m'a dit d'attendre et est venu par cette route. Après environ 40 minutes, il m'a appelé pour me dire qu'il était arrivé et qu'il attendrai que le bus recule jusqu'à lui pour venir me prendre. La police avait demandé à tous les véhicules de faire demi-tour car le temps était très mauvais et il risquait d'y avoir d'autres avalanches, des chutes de branches... etc. Donc, j'ai retrouvé Dan et nous avons pris l'ordinateur dans la soute du bus et je suis montée avec lui. Aussi, dans le bus, il y avait une voisine qui habite dans un autre immeuble, qui était dans le bus et je lui ai demandé si elle voulait venir avec nous. Elle est donc venue aussi. Ensuite, nous sommes allés pour prendre la route que Dan a utilisée pour venir et un policier nous a arrêté en disant que toute la zone était sous un risque fort d'avalanche, de chute de branches...etc et qu'il ne pouvait laisser passer personne.  Donc, nous avons attendu dans la voiture. Je priais pour que les déneigeurs arrivent vite et puissent dégager la route rapidement (une policière nous avait dit quand on était dans le bus, que l'année dernière, ils ont du attendre jusqu'à 3h du matin!!!) . Après environ 10 minutes, nous avons vu des voitures qui venaient de l'autre sens passer devant nous et les voitures avec lesquelles nous étions commencer à démarrer et à prendre la route. Donc, nous les avons imitées et nous avons vu que l'avalanche avait été dégagée...!Donc, merci Seigneur pour Ta protection sur les routes et aussi que les personnes qui dégageaient la route aient été efficaces ! J'ai trouvé que c'était très rapide!!Voici un lien que j'ai trouvé ce matin... &lt;a href="http://www.ledauphine.com/actualite/2012/01/06/20-000-foyers-toujours-prives-de-courant-dans-les-alpes"&gt;Le Dauphiné&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-7480406570946171729?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/7480406570946171729/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=7480406570946171729&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/7480406570946171729'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/7480406570946171729'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2012/01/avanlanches.html' title='Avanlanches...!'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total><georss:featurename>Route de l&amp;#39;Oisans, 38220 Livet-et-Gavet, France</georss:featurename><georss:point>45.11387496269881 5.957508087158203</georss:point><georss:box>45.102669462698806 5.937767087158203 45.12508046269881 5.977249087158203</georss:box></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-6503998503071753264</id><published>2011-12-25T12:55:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-12-25T12:55:19.513+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Crochet...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lN-bp9VYa7w/TvcNuRD-vxI/AAAAAAAAAaM/EW8utqs4Fbs/s1600/Bandeau%2Brouge1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" width="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lN-bp9VYa7w/TvcNuRD-vxI/AAAAAAAAAaM/EW8utqs4Fbs/s200/Bandeau%2Brouge1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Well, I've been doing some crochet these past few days and I am very glad on how the things turned out...I made some head bands (same pattern with two colours), and it looks good on the head + it takes about 10 minutes to make!!!! So I love it!Then, I also made some mittens... because it's getting cold here, so I wanted to try... and I did it! They were also easy to make and I didn't follow any pattern, I just made them and then tried them on, undid some rows, tried them on again... etc. I hope you'll enjoy the pictures!&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KZl50hVZMCs/TvcNldvY23I/AAAAAAAAAaA/E9XsZ_pB9Ho/s1600/Bandeau%2Bbleu1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:right; float:right; margin-left:1em; margin-bottom:1em"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" width="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KZl50hVZMCs/TvcNldvY23I/AAAAAAAAAaA/E9XsZ_pB9Ho/s200/Bandeau%2Bbleu1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr width=30%&gt;Ces derniers jours, j'ai fait pas mal de choses en crochet et j'étais très contente de l'allure qu'ils avaient une fois finis...!J'ai d'abord fait des bandeaux pour cheveux (le même modèle mais une couleur différente), et ça rend super bien quand on le met. En plus, ça ne m'a pris que 10 minutes pour le faire!!!! Donc, je l'aime beaucoup! &lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-i-TL-FEwkgk/TvcO4i-IVyI/AAAAAAAAAaY/TiHZ0Whwdgk/s1600/Mitaines.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" width="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-i-TL-FEwkgk/TvcO4i-IVyI/AAAAAAAAAaY/TiHZ0Whwdgk/s200/Mitaines.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Ensuite, je me suis fait des mitaines... Avec le froid qu'on commence à avoir ici, il vaut mieux avec les mains au chaud! Je n'ai pas vraiment suivi de modèle, j'en ai fait un peu, puis je les ai essayées, puis j'ai défait quand ça n'allait pas...etc. J'espère que vous apprécierez les photos!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-6503998503071753264?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/6503998503071753264/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=6503998503071753264&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/6503998503071753264'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/6503998503071753264'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2011/12/crochet.html' title='Crochet...'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lN-bp9VYa7w/TvcNuRD-vxI/AAAAAAAAAaM/EW8utqs4Fbs/s72-c/Bandeau%2Brouge1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-5738580925000536745</id><published>2011-12-25T08:43:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2011-12-25T08:43:32.959+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Merry Christmas - Joyeux Noël</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9yJyAcHGiZk/TvbT-YqSDgI/AAAAAAAAAZ0/SPId9Ht7o6U/s1600/joyeuxnoel2008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:right; float:right; margin-left:1em; margin-bottom:1em"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="142" width="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9yJyAcHGiZk/TvbT-YqSDgI/AAAAAAAAAZ0/SPId9Ht7o6U/s200/joyeuxnoel2008.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;We wish you a Merry Christmas!As we remember the birth of our Saviour, Jesus, I wanted to write a note to wish everybody who reads this a Merry Christmas. &lt;hr width=30%&gt;Nous vous souhaitons un très Joyeux Noël!

I gave it to Mum so she can do it. The picture was taken in April, so it has been a very long time in my camera, but because I don't often use it or download the pictures in it, well, it's kind of old now...This next one is a puzzle that I found half price for Mum and before I gave it to her, I made it... Very nice one. Then, the last puzzle was a gift for my birthday from Mum, Dad, Edwige &amp; Sylvain... It's about soccer and I enjoyed doing it. Dan helped a little bit too, because he likes to do them too. &lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mEsO1xxywNE/Ttj1FCrWOgI/AAAAAAAAAY0/iOAePmNmEm8/s1600/Puzzle%2Bvillage%2Bdu%2BSud.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear:right; float:right; margin-left:1em; margin-bottom:1em"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" width="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mEsO1xxywNE/Ttj1FCrWOgI/AAAAAAAAAY0/iOAePmNmEm8/s200/Puzzle%2Bvillage%2Bdu%2BSud.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Well, now after the puzzles, I've also been knitting...We had three friends who had a baby girl, so I found this great poncho pattern and knitted some to them. They told me that they all loved it. The second knitted thing I've made were socks... A Christmas present. And it was the first time that I made socks and I really enjoyed it. It was not as hard as I thought it would be...I've also been doing some Patchwork (Quilt), so I made a bag. It's a little big, but it looks very nice. I even made pockets on the inside...I know,..., fancy!&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TW476C-MDyY/Ttj1NruSGTI/AAAAAAAAAZA/D8PK_cOu_3M/s1600/Puzzle%2BLe%2BFoot.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" width="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TW476C-MDyY/Ttj1NruSGTI/AAAAAAAAAZA/D8PK_cOu_3M/s200/Puzzle%2BLe%2BFoot.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;OK, I know this post has a lot of pictures, but I told you, I've been doing stuff!&lt;hr width=30%&gt;Ca fait encore super longtemps que je n'ai pas écrit ici...Voici donc une petite mise à jour des puzzles que j'ai fait...Les photos sont réparties, mais dans l'ordre...&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3LxQDhqdw3E/Ttj1aU9IV4I/AAAAAAAAAZM/B6XN5L-b2ws/s1600/Poncho%2Brose.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear:right; float:right; margin-left:1em; margin-bottom:1em"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" width="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3LxQDhqdw3E/Ttj1aU9IV4I/AAAAAAAAAZM/B6XN5L-b2ws/s200/Poncho%2Brose.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Le premier puzzle date du mois d'avril, oui, je sais, c'était il y a longtemps... Mais les photos étaient sur mon appareil et comme je ne l'utilise pas beaucoup, ou du moins je ne transfère pas souvent mes photos sur l'ordi, je suis en retard...Donc, le premier, qui date d'avril, était sur notre table pendant longtemps. Je l'ai maintenant passé à Maman pour qu'elle le fasse. Le suivant, était un puzzle à moitié prix que j'ai acheté pour Maman, et avant de le lui donner, je l'ai fait... Je l'aime beaucoup, il est chouette... Celui d'après est un cadeau d'anniversaire que j'ai eu de Maman, Papa, Wague et sylvain. Il est super à faire et Dan m'a aidé car il aime bien faire les puzzles aussi... &lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0givn5ZCBOQ/Ttj1hR1rGaI/AAAAAAAAAZY/kXmAoCqxZY8/s1600/Chaussettes%2BGwen.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" width="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0givn5ZCBOQ/Ttj1hR1rGaI/AAAAAAAAAZY/kXmAoCqxZY8/s200/Chaussettes%2BGwen.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Bon, maintenant, après les puzzles, les tricots... J'ai fait le poncho rose deux fois... et je n'en ai gardé aucun! C'est un modèle que j'ai trouvé sur Internet pour les naissances qui ont eu lieu cette année.

C'était la première fois que je faisais des chaussettes et en fait c'est moins compliqué que ce que je pensais... Donc à refaire!!!Aussi, mis à part le tricot, j'ai fait du Patchwork. J'ai retrouvé des vieux carrés que j'avais fais et celui-là, je l'aimais beaucoup, donc j'en ai fait un sac...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-1068781138884327228?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/1068781138884327228/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=1068781138884327228&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/1068781138884327228'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/1068781138884327228'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2011/12/puzzles-cie.html' title='Puzzles &amp; Cie...'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wIuD37ftwQY/Ttj08dBCtnI/AAAAAAAAAYo/Ia5nXSvGUUk/s72-c/Puzzle%2Bile%2B1000.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-7462523518219389368</id><published>2011-09-08T17:54:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-09-14T19:35:37.183+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Wisdom teeth #2 - Dents de sagesse #2</title><content type='html'>Well, here I am again.

We were invited by Dan's mission (AMT) which is the equivalent of CAEF in Australia. &lt;br /&gt;There, we met a lot of people and were encouraged. We also learned a lot and now we have to process all the information that we received. &lt;br /&gt;It was my first conference and I enjoyed it. &lt;br /&gt;We also had the opportunity to meet the director of the CAEF and he met also the director of Dan's mission and they talked about our situation here in France. &lt;br /&gt;For those of you who didn't know that, we were looking for a French mission to help us with all the administrative papers and social security because we live in France and we pay taxes here and everything. &lt;br /&gt;So, when we talked to them and presented our situation, they thought that it would be very good for us to have a mission in France to be able to have the social security and all that goes with it. So they agreed to "take us in"! &lt;br /&gt;So now we have to raise support (because we will have a fee to pay to the CAEF mission) for our work at Camp des Cimes. &lt;br /&gt;But this is great news because we were looking for something like that and we didn't have any answers. &lt;br /&gt;So thanks to God, we are almost there!&lt;br /&gt;I'll keep you updated to let you know what happens!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr width=30%&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Certains d'entre vous devez vous demander pourquoi ce  titre CAEF et qu'est-ce qu'il veut dire? Les CAEF sont un groupement d'église dont nous faisons partie à travers notre église à Seyssinet. &lt;br /&gt;Nous venons de rentrer d'une conférence internationale qui a eu lieu à Strasbourg. Nous étions invités par la mission de Dan (AMT) qui est l'équivalent des CAEF en Australie. &lt;br /&gt;Là-bas, nous avons rencontré plein de gens supers et nous avons été très encouragés. Nous avons aussi beaucoup appris et maintenant il nous faut digérer ces cinq jours intenses. &lt;br /&gt;C'était ma première conférence et j'ai vraiment bien aimé. &lt;br /&gt;Nous avons aussi eu l'opportunité de rencontrer le directeur des CAEF, qui a pu aussi rencontrer le directeur de la mission de Dan. Ensemble, ils ont parlé de notre situation en France. &lt;br /&gt;Pour ceux qui ne le savent pas, notre situation est particulière. Nous étions à la recherche d'une mission française pour nous "prendre en charge" au niveau administratif et de la sécurité sociale caar nous habitons en France et comme nous travaillons "bénévolement", notre situation est particulière. &lt;br /&gt;Donc, nous en avons discuté avec eux et leur avons présenté notre situation et notre désir de servir ensemble, en tant que couple missionnaire au Camp des Cimes. Ils nous ont donc dit qu'il n'y aura pas de problème pour eux et que c'était même une très bonne chose à faire pour régulariser notre situation. &lt;br /&gt;Donc, maintenant, nous devons trouver des "sponsors", ou du soutien pour pouvoir vivre tout en travaillant au Camp des Cimes(et en rentrant dans cette mission, nous aurons des charges à payer pour la gestion de notre projet). &lt;br /&gt;Donc, c'est une très bonne nouvelle pour nous car nous recherchions cela depuis quelques mois et nous n'avions pas de réponse. &lt;br /&gt;Donc merci Seigneur pour cette réponse à la prière!&lt;br /&gt;Je vous tiendrais au courant de la suite!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-5661534499801667583?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/5661534499801667583/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=5661534499801667583&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/5661534499801667583'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/5661534499801667583'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2011/06/caef.html' title='CAEF !'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-5586024955329401028</id><published>2011-05-20T14:45:00.004+02:00</published><updated>2011-05-20T15:37:59.973+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Taking the time... - Prendre le temps...</title><content type='html'>Well, it's been a very long time since I took the time to write here...&lt;br /&gt;Sorry. I guess life is always busy and you have to try to take the time to do things. So I'm taking the time to write NOW...&lt;br /&gt;Well, what to say, since my last post, in December, a lot happened... We now are in 2011! I know it's stupid, but you never know... In January, I had an appointment with a professor to discuss my "embolie" and to run some tests to see if I could stop the medication. The doctor told me that everything went back to normal and that I could stop taking the medication...! That was a great thing and a relief. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In December 2009, I know it's been a long time, my sister told us that she was pregnant...! And now she had a beautiful girl named Gwendolyne. She is now 8 months old and she is very cute! &lt;br /&gt;Last week-end, we went to Perpignan to meet them and my parents... We had a great time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, we are at Camp, working to prepare for a wedding, Tim and Rachel. We've known Tim for some time now and he asked Dan if he could help with some games and organisation, so here we are. &lt;br /&gt;The wedding is tomorrow afternoon and we pray that the weather will be sunny. For the past days, it has been sunny during the day and it rained during the late afternoon/night... We'll see what will come tomorrow. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing much changed in our lives. Dan worked this winter for 2 Alpes Loisirs, like last year and he enjoyed it a lot. He was happy when it stopped because there was not much snow this season, so he was glad to be free to go biking!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For me, I worked at our apartment replacing the "concièrge" (the lady who cleans the stairs and hallways of the buildings) for three weeks. It was nice to meet the neighbours because we don't really see them...&lt;br /&gt;For the future plans of work, I am in contact with a friend who is now the director of iTeams France and who asked for help with inscriptions, their website and other stuff. So he contacted me to see if I was interested and I told him my project to work fulltime at Camp des Cimes and he told me that he contacted his mission (France Mission) to see  what they thought of it. So now I'm waiting for an answer... We'll see..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I guess that's all for now. I'll try to keep up with the blog and give news more frequently...&lt;br /&gt;Bye for now...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr width=30%&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Et ben, ça faisait un très long moment depuis que j'avais écrit sur mon blog...&lt;br /&gt;Désolée. Je suis toujours occuppée, comme la plupart des gens et je crois que si on ne prend pas le temps de faire les choses, on ne les fera jamais.&lt;br /&gt;Donc, je prends du temps pour écrire MAINTENANT...&lt;br /&gt;Par où commencer, depuis mon dernier post beaucoup de choses se sont passées, et voilà, c'est ça de ne pas écrire pendant tant de temps!!!&lt;br /&gt;Nous sommes maintenant en 2011! Incroyable! En janvier dernier, j'ai eu un rendez-vous avec un médecin pour voir si après mes six mois de traitement mon embolie était partie ou s'il fallait que je continue encore. Du coup, bonne nouvelle, j'ai pu arrêter le traitement! C'était une super nouvelle et j'étais soulagée. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En décembre 2009, ma soeur nous avait appris qu'elle était enceinte! Et maintenant, elle a eu une superbe petite fille, Gwendolyne, qui a maintenant 8 mois! Je suis donc tata (je l'étais avant aussi car la soeur de Dan a déjà deux garçons!!!)...&lt;br /&gt;Le week-end dernier, nous nous sommes retrouvés à Perpignan, avec mes parents aussi, et on a passé un super week-end. Gwendolyne fait craquer tout le monde... Elle est tellement mignone! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aujourd'hui, nous sommes au Camp pour préparer un peu pour un mariage qui aura lieu demain. Celui de Tim et Rachel. On connaît Tim depuis un moment déjà, et il avait demandé à Dan de l'aider avec quelques jeux et un peu d'organisation. &lt;br /&gt;Le mariage est demain après-midi et nous prions pour que le temps soit beau. Pour le moment, on a souvent de la pluie le soir ou en fin d'après-midi, donc si ça reste comme ça, ce sera bon! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sinon, pas grand chose n'a changé pour nous. Dan a travaillé pour la saison d'hiver aux 2 Alpes, comme l'année dernière et il était content. Il &amp;tait aussi content de terminer la saison car cette année, ça a vraiment été bizarre... Pas beaucoup de neige et don cil avait hâte de finir pour aller faire du vélo!!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pour moi, j'ai remplacé notre concièrge pendant trois semaines, donc je travaillais les matins. C'était super de pouvoir rencontrer un peu plus nos voisins, car on ne les vois pas forcément... &lt;br /&gt;Pour la futur, je suis actuellement en contact avec un ami qui est depuis peu le directeur de iTeams France et qui cherchait quelqu'un pour l'aider avec leurs inscriptions, et leur site Internet entre autres. Donc il m'a contacté et je lui ai parlé de mon projet de travailler à plein temps au Camp des Cimes et il en a parlé à sa mission (France Mission) pour voir s'il était possible de trouver un moyen pour moi de devenir missionnaire avec mon soutien et tout ce qui suit... On verra bien ce que Dieu fera... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bon, je crois que c'est tout pour l'instant. Et ça fait déjà pas mal...!

She is due on September 10th so we hope that she'll give birth soon so that we can be here... We have to leave tomorrow to go back home and my sister lives about 2 hours away from my parents' (where we are now), and about 7 or 8 hours from where we live (BDO)!!! So it would be great to be here when she'll be at the hospital...&lt;br /&gt;Our summer was very busy, but it was great! I had to go to the hospital because I had a Pulmonary embolism (that's google translation, sorry if it doesn't make sense.) so I had to stay for a week at the hospital... But now everything is fine, I just have some blood tests and medication for 5 more months...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr width=30%&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nous avons terminé avec les camps pour cet été!!&lt;br /&gt;Nous sommes allés à Perpignan pour voir mes parents et se reposer. &lt;br /&gt;Maintenant, nous sommes à Bagnères de Luchon (ou mes parents habitent) et nous nous reposons en attendant que ma sœur accouche de son premier enfant (une fille!)... Elle est prévue pour le 10 septembre donc on espère qu'elle va bientôt accoucher pour que l'on soit là... Nous devons partir demain pour rentrer à la maison et ma sœur habite à environ 2 heures de chez mes parents (là où nous sommes maintenant) et 7 ou 8 heures de chez nous!!! Donc, ce serait super si on pouvait être là quand cela arrivera.&lt;br /&gt;Notre été etait tres chargé, mais c'était super!

It's bigger and the price is very nice. &lt;br /&gt;We had to paint all the walls so we had fun doing that, except that it was just before the Camps started... So we still have to finish the kitchen, but for the bedroom and the living room, we're good. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I applied last year for a job at the school in Bourg d'Oisans, and they called me just ten minutes ago asking for an interview. So I'll go tomorrow morning and we'll see if they need someone or not...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So yesterday we started Camps and now for two months, we'll be very busy...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr width=30%&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nous avons déménagé il y a environ 3 semaines dans un HLM. Donc, le prix est très correct et on a le double de la surface de celui d'avant!!!&lt;br /&gt;Nous devions repeindre tous les murs et on s'est amusés, sauf qu'on n'a pas fini car les camps sont là!!! Il faut donc encore qu'on termine la cuisine et l'entrée... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'année dernière (un peu tard) j'ai envoyé mon CV au collège de Bourg d'Oisans pour un poste d'assistante d'éducation( ce que je faisait à Grenoble). Aujourd'hui, ils m'ont appelé pour prendre rendez-vous pour un entretien. J'y vais donc demain et on verra s'ils ont un poste vacant... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hier, nous avons commencé les Camps, donc on va être bien occupés...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-5847778771615334695?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/5847778771615334695/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=5847778771615334695&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/5847778771615334695'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/5847778771615334695'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2010/07/its-been-long-time-ca-faisait-longtemps.html' title='It&apos;s been a long time... - Ca faisait longtemps...'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-8187303687660483344</id><published>2010-05-30T18:59:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2010-05-30T19:23:17.930+02:00</updated><title type='text'>One year ago... - Il y a un an...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/TAKcsZ-iqaI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/Qy-uK9I2sNI/s1600/P1000770.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left;

It is still snowing now, and it is staying on the grass, not on the roads thankfully!&lt;br /&gt;I guess spring is not coming soon!!!! Well, it's still 5°C outside, so not too cold!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr width=30%&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quand on s'est réveillés ce matin, Dan m'a dit qu'il neigeait dehors! En avril!&lt;br /&gt;Donc, quand je me suis levée, j'ai ouvert les volets et j'ai vu la neige. Il neige encore maintenant et elle tient sur l'herbe, mais pas sur la route, heureusement! &lt;br /&gt;Je crois que le printemps n'est pas encore là!!!

But, when I came back from work, this afternoon, one of them was dead :(&lt;br /&gt;Sadly, you cannot know why a fish dies and you cannot tell if he's suffering...&lt;br /&gt;So, I changed the water for the second fish to feel better (I guess). But now, he's acting weird... moving very fast all around like if he was looking for something... I hope he won't die today too!&lt;br /&gt;Well, he are pictures of the dead one (the yellow one, but I guess you'll see it), and the one alive... for now...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr width=30%&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/S4k0Q_ZHjuI/AAAAAAAAAIY/TcmvVO7CH_Y/s1600-h/P1000712.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/S4k0Q_ZHjuI/AAAAAAAAAIY/TcmvVO7CH_Y/s200/P1000712.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442939091153293026" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Avant Noël, nous avions acheté deux poissons car quelqu'un nous avait donné un très grand vase pour notre mariage et on ne savait pas trop quoi en faire, donc on y a mis des poissons. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depuis ce moment, les poissons allaient bien, ils bougeaient pas mal et faisaient du bruit à la surface de l'eau... Mais quand je suis rentrée du boulot aujourd'hui, l'un d'eux était mort, sur le côté... :( &lt;br /&gt;Malheureusement, on ne peut pas savoir quand un poisson souffre et on ne peut pas savoir pourquoi il est mort...&lt;br /&gt;Donc j'ai changé l'eau pour que l'autre se sente mieux (je pense). Mais maintenant, il est bizarre, il bouge de partout comme s'il cherchait quelque chose... J'espère qu'il ne va pas mourir aujourd'hui aussi!&lt;br /&gt;Voilà des photos des deux poissons: le mort, le jaune, et le vivant, pour l'instant, le rouge...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-1095853474274779671?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/1095853474274779671/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=1095853474274779671&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/1095853474274779671'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/1095853474274779671'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2010/02/fish-poissons.html' title='Fish... - Poissons...'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/S4k0Fg5WvVI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/-sd3dlaowSE/s72-c/P1000709.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-5318132475643448123</id><published>2010-02-24T17:37:00.009+01:00</published><updated>2010-02-24T17:58:39.893+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Cards and stuff... - Cartes et autres...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/S4VYfNkWIXI/AAAAAAAAAHw/mF8UdP06Xqs/s1600-h/Carte+24-02-2010+Devant.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left;

At Casino, on the parking, people were putting their chains on. Some of them even bought some at Casino and then put them on...

A Casino, les gens mettaient les chaines sur le parking. Certains, même, achetaient les chaines à Casino et les mettaient sur le parking... J'ai entendu dire que la police arrêtait les voitures sur la montée de l'Alpe d'Huez et obligeait les gens à mettre leurs chaines avant de monter!&lt;br /&gt;Une journée hors du commun...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-3632498315594676720?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/3632498315594676720/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=3632498315594676720&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/3632498315594676720'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/3632498315594676720'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2010/02/snow-neige.html' title='Snow! - Neige!'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/S20X6WzE5DI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/C8ZKIhVJMNY/s72-c/P1000701.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-3832415585025419085</id><published>2010-02-02T08:38:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2010-02-02T08:42:38.919+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Galette...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/S2fXZ-5VgTI/AAAAAAAAAHI/Ml6KMnrciMg/s1600-h/P1000697.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/S2fXZ-5VgTI/AAAAAAAAAHI/Ml6KMnrciMg/s200/P1000697.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433548316825977138" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I've been wanting to make my own Galette "King cake" in English for some time and I finally did it yesterday!&lt;br /&gt;I found a recipe on the Internet and made one. &lt;br /&gt;Then, when Dan camme back, he tried it and said it was very good!!!&lt;br /&gt;Here is a picture. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr width=30%&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'avais envie depuis un moment d'essayer de faire ma propre galette des rois.

I went about 7 times to FNAC to take it back to Apple so they can fix it. They did for the first 4 times, but then, I had a weird problem, and they couldn't see it. So I asked the FNAC if they could do something, like giving me a new computer, or giving me money so I can buy another one... They said they would create a request and send it to their director. &lt;br /&gt;Recently, I received a letter from the FNAC saying that if Apple recognized a problem with my laptop, they would make an offer. About fifteen minutes after, I turn my computer on, and the same sound problem appeared... So, I went back to Grenoble to the FNAC store, and gave them the letter and the computer and explained to them what the problem was. They sent it to Apple. About one month after, I received a call on my cell phone saying that they offered me 623 Euros to buy a new computer. I was very happy. &lt;br /&gt;So the next day, Dan and I went back to the FNAC store and gave them back a the cables and remotes for the laptop and they gave us a 623 Euros voucher. We went to buy another laptop but they didn't have them on stock... Because I hesitated to buy a laptop or a desktop one, I told Dan: "Well, if that's OK with you I'll ask the lady if they have any desktop computers left and if they do, we'll buy one of them". And he agreed. The lady who was selling the computers, told me that all she had left were the ones on display... So I asked her how much they were, because they were on display... She told me that it was 50 Euros less that the original price. &lt;br /&gt;So we bought it. It's a 21.5 inch screen (so very big for our small apartment), it's an iMac and so because we wanted to buy a computer screen to watch DVDs (because we don't have a TV, it's too expensive in France because we don't watch it! And you have to pay about 120 Euros a year to own a TV...) and so with that one, we can watch DVDs with a big screen!!!&lt;br /&gt;Plus, it has a wireless keyboard and mouse!!!&lt;br /&gt;So that's the story of our new computer...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr width=30%&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cela faisait un moment que j'avais des problèmes avec mon ordinateur portable (un mac!!). Je suis allée environ 7 fois à la FNAC pour le rapporter car il y avait toujours un problème, en particulier avec le son. Au bout de 4 ou 5 fois, j'ai demandé au gars du SAV si la FNAC pouvait faire un geste commercial. Il m'a dit  qu'il allait monter un dossier et qu'il me tiendrai au courant. &lt;br /&gt;Je rentre à la maison, je rallume l'ordi, même problème avec le son. Je le ramène et essaye d'insister pour avoir une offre commerciale... Mais rien.&lt;br /&gt;Je vais le récupérer, et le gars (un autre...) me dit qu'Apple n'a rien trouvé comme problème de son. Je rentre à la maison, je rallume l'ordi, et re-problème de son. Du coup, je l'ai enregistré sur mon téléphone portable pour leur faire écouter. Le lendemain, je reçois une lettre de la FNAC me disant que si un problème est constaté en atelier, ils me feront une offre commerciale! &lt;br /&gt;Super, j'ai un problème justement!!! &lt;br /&gt;Je le ramène, et cette fois, le gars me dit que, si la FNAC me fait une offre, j'aurais de leur nouvelles par téléphone et que si je reçois un e-mail, c'est qu'ils ne m'en font pas. Bon.&lt;br /&gt;Environ un mois plus tard, je reçois un message sur mon répondeur (car je passais l'aspirateur à ce moment-là...) me disant que c'est la FNAC et qu'ils me proposent 623 Euros et qu'il faut que je ramène tous les accéssoires qui étaient avec le portable. &lt;br /&gt;Enfin une bonne nouvelle!&lt;br /&gt;Du coup, le lendemain, je retourne à la FNAC avec Dan, et ils me font l'avoir de 623,30 Euros. Avec DAn, on hésite un peu entre un ordinateur de bureau ou un portable. On choisi le portable. On appelle une vendeuse qui regarde le stock et elle me dit qu'ils n'en ont plus mais qu'elle peut le commander. Je lui demande alors pour les ordinateurs de bureau (un peu plus chers quand même... mais pas tant que ça...) et elle me dit qu'elle en a, mais seulement des modèles d'expo. Je lui ai alors demandé combien elle nous ferai comme remise pour prendre le modèle d'expo, et elle me dit 50 Euros. Du coup, on a pris celui-là. C'est un iMac (donc toujours Apple) avec un écran de 21.5 pouces (ce qui est énorme pour chez nous). On a choisi celui-là car on voulait s'acheter un écran pour regarder nos DVDs (comme on a décidé de ne pas avoir de TV, 120 Euros par an c'est cher quand on ne regarde pas la télé!!!) donc là, on a fait d'une pierre deux coups...&lt;br /&gt;Voilà, l'histoire de notre nouvel ordinateur (qui marche très bien!!!)&lt;br /&gt;Et en plus, il a un clavier et une souris sans fil!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-4396093432863884582?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/4396093432863884582/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=4396093432863884582&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/4396093432863884582'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/4396093432863884582'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-computer-nouvel-ordinateur.html' title='New computer! - Nouvel ordinateur!'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/S0eWATo01pI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/XpAGQu3IVkU/s72-c/P1000669.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-4117211568337806415</id><published>2009-12-23T13:26:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2009-12-23T13:32:47.299+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Finished! - Terminée!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SzINNHDlCaI/AAAAAAAAAGI/tkTBUGTbVSI/s1600-h/P1000659.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SzINNHDlCaI/AAAAAAAAAGI/tkTBUGTbVSI/s200/P1000659.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418407820563646882" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, yesterday, I finally finished the cover I was making for our coach...&lt;br /&gt;I started it maybe two weeks ago, and now it's finally finished.

(Dan is gone to climbing!)&lt;br /&gt;It's the second time I do it, and the first time, it was good, but maybe I could have cooked it a little more. So this time, I'll try to do it. &lt;br /&gt;For now, the crust (I guess that's what it's called in English...) is resting. It's been almost two hours and I'll leave it for at least half an hour more. Its size has to double! &lt;br /&gt;Here is a picture of it now...&lt;br /&gt;Well, my job is going OK. Time goes by very fast when there're people buying stuff. Today I've worked "only" 4 hours, yesterday, I worked about 8 hours... So today is kind of a rest day...&lt;br /&gt;Well, I'll see how the bread is coming...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr width=30%&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ce soir, je fais du pain car j'ai le temps... (Dan est parti à l'escalade!)&lt;br /&gt;C'est la deuxième fois que j'en fais et la première fois il était très bon sauf qu'il n'était peut-être pas assez cuit. Donc cette fois, je vais le laisser un peu plus longtemps. &lt;br /&gt;Pour l'instant, la pâte est en train de lever. Ca fait déjà environ deux heures qu'elle repose et je vais encore la laisser environ une demi-heure. Il faut que sa taille double! &lt;br /&gt;Voilà une photo de maintenant...&lt;br /&gt;Sinon, mon boulot se passe bien. Le temps passe vite quand il y a des personnes à la caisse.

Les enfants se sont beaucoup amusés. &lt;br /&gt;Ensuite, on est allé à un café qui s’appelle French Twist pour midi. J’ai mangé de la quiche (très bonne) et un gâteau au chocolat… &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SuqDda7SxSI/AAAAAAAAAB4/EtqbQz_zEyc/s1600-h/R19.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SuqDda7SxSI/AAAAAAAAAB4/EtqbQz_zEyc/s200/R19.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398271644824421666" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hier, Dan et moi sommes allés aux bureaux de AMT (sa mission) pour aller voir les gens et leur donner des nouvelles. Ensuite, on est allés à Bunnings (un magasin de bricolage genre l’entrepôt du bricolage) pour acheter du scotch et puis à IKEA où on a trouvé des petites choses sympa !!!! En allant à Bunnings, on a vu une Renault 19, qui était mon ancienne voiture, avant qu’on me la vole… ☹ &lt;br /&gt;C’était marrant d’en voir une en Australie !&lt;br /&gt;Et aujourd'hui, on en a revue une (qu'on a eu le temps de prendre en photo) en revenant du parc, garée dans le jardin de quelqu'un à deux rues de chez Noémie!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-5605053533969194681?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/5605053533969194681/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=5605053533969194681&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/5605053533969194681'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/5605053533969194681'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2009/10/r19.html' title='R19'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/Sup_4Xz833I/AAAAAAAAABw/cAwr8SJgejU/s72-c/french+twist.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-1566619829722227848</id><published>2009-10-23T07:47:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-30T06:51:47.664+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Park - Parc</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/Sup-dqJoUAI/AAAAAAAAABg/uBHPTNBau0A/s1600-h/PA210370.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/Sup-dqJoUAI/AAAAAAAAABg/uBHPTNBau0A/s200/PA210370.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398266151352946690" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the 21st, we arrived at Brisbane to visit Naomi and Adam (Dan’s sister and her husband and also their two kids Malachi and Harper).

Phil (one of Dan's cousins) was getting married in Newcastle. &lt;div&gt;The wedding ceremony was at 3:00 pm and was finished by 4:00 pm. Then we had "tea" (vin d'honneur in French) and at about 5:00 pm we left to go to the reception (which started only at 6:00 pm). It was in a Surf Club, so in front of the beach. Very nice place. So we stayed in the car for the next hour watching the surfers... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then, at 6:00 pm we went to the club. It was a buffet meal (I'm not sure how to say this in English...) so we were eating standing and the servers passed with trays to serve the food...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then, it was time for the speeches. So the parents said a word, and then the bridesmaids and men of honour and finally the bride and groom. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then, we left after the cake was cut (so at about 9:00 pm!). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;hr width="30%"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hier, je suis allées à mon premier mariage australien. Phil (un cousin de Dan) s'est marié à Newcastle. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;La cérémonie (religieuse mais aussi officielle, ils signent les papiers à la fin de la cérémonie) commençait à 15h00 et s'est terminée vers 16h00. Ensuite, nous avons eu le vin d'honneur et vers 17h00 nous sommes partis pour aller à la réception (qui ne commençait pas avant 18h00). C'était dans un "club de surf", donc on était au bord de la mer (enfin l'océan...). C'était très joli. On est restés dans la voiture pendant une heure à regarder les surfeurs...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Puis, à 18h00, nous sommes rentrés dans le club. Le repas était un buffet, donc les serveuses passaient avec des plateaux de nourriture. Ensuite, est venu le temps des discours. En Australie, il n'y a pas forcément de jeux...etc mais les parents, les témoins (demoiselles et hommes d'honneur) et les mariés doivent faire un discours. C'était intéressant. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Enfin, il y a eu le gateau (vers 21h00!!!) et nous sommes rentrés juste après.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-8369438700696468252?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/8369438700696468252/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=8369438700696468252&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/8369438700696468252'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/8369438700696468252'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2009/10/wedding-mariage.html' title='Wedding - Mariage'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-2544853831422598812</id><published>2009-10-08T07:31:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-08T23:43:10.338+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Birthday - Anniversaire</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/Ss5c3Ei-PAI/AAAAAAAAAA4/X3a9Zbaf7Qw/s1600-h/plage.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/Ss5c3Ei-PAI/AAAAAAAAAA4/X3a9Zbaf7Qw/s320/plage.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390347905192049666" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;For my birthday, Dan took me to have breakfast in front of the beach. It was very nice even if it was windy (cold wind!).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then, we came back and the car we have (Dan's cousin who is in Ireland now) didn't want to start when we were at the shopping centre...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So we walked back to the house, which is not far... :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then, we went to the drive-in with Jono, Bec, Tallman and Stittman (friends and cousins) to see "Up". It was very good and I've never seen a movie at the drive-in before, so it was a nice experience. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;hr width="30%"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Pour mon anniversaire, Dan m'a emmené prendre le petit déjeuner à la plage. C'était vraiment bien à part le vent qui soufflait et qui était froid...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ensuite, nous sommes rentrés et la voiture qu'on utilise (celle d'une cousine qui est en Irelande) ne voulait plus démarrer quand on était au supermarché...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Donc, on est rentrés à pied, heureusement ce n'était pas trop loin... :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Enfin, on est allés au drive-in avec Jono, Bec, Tallman et Stittman (des amis et des cousins) pour voir "Up". C'était vraiment bien surtout que je n'étais jamais allée au drive-in avant, donc c'était une bonne expérience. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-2544853831422598812?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/2544853831422598812/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=2544853831422598812&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/2544853831422598812'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/2544853831422598812'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2009/10/birthday-anniversaire.html' title='Birthday - Anniversaire'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/Ss5c3Ei-PAI/AAAAAAAAAA4/X3a9Zbaf7Qw/s72-c/plage.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-5997525201985101992</id><published>2009-10-05T01:18:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-05T02:02:32.849+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Rain - Pluie</title><content type='html'>Well, for the past two days, it's been raining here. It's a good thing because the land is so dry and also, it's a good opportunity for Dan and I to stay home and rest. &lt;div&gt;For the past week, we had something to do every evening, and with the jetlag, it was tiring. But this week-end, we got a chance to rest. Jonathan and Rebecca went to Black Stump (an every year event where Christians meet), and we didn't go because there's always a lot of people and we would have gone for one day and because of the price and the hours driving (we would have left from Newcastle at 6 am and come back at around 11 pm!)... So we were alone in their house for the week-end. It was good to rest before another week of dinners with people!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;hr width="30%"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Depuis deux jours il pleut. C'est une bonne chose car ici la terre est très sèche et aussi, c'était l'occasion pour Dan et moi de rester à la maison et de se reposer. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Toute la semaine dernière on avait quelque chose le soir, et avec le décalage horaire, c'était fatiguant. Mais ce week-end, on a pu se reposer. Jonathan et Rebecca sont allés à Black Stump (une rencontre annuelle de Chrétiens), mais nous n'y sommes pas allés car il y a beaucoup de monde et on y aurai été pour une journée seulement et à cause du prix et du nombre d'heures de trajet (on serai partis de Newcastle à 6h00 pour revenir à 23h00!)... Donc, nous étions seuls dans la maison pour le week-end. C'était bien de pouvoir se reposer avant une autre semaine d'invitations le soir!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-5997525201985101992?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/5997525201985101992/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=5997525201985101992&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/5997525201985101992'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/5997525201985101992'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2009/10/rain-pluie.html' title='Rain - Pluie'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-8087093635994703921</id><published>2009-10-01T02:02:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2009-11-01T03:01:24.958+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Animals... - Animaux...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/Suy8fT1EY9I/AAAAAAAAACQ/bUI2iOQCqu8/s1600-h/Blackbutt+reserve.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 184px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/Suy8fT1EY9I/AAAAAAAAACQ/bUI2iOQCqu8/s200/Blackbutt+reserve.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398897299395208146" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Yesterday, we went to Blackbutt reserve to have a picnic and see some Australian animals.It was a very hot day (at least for me) and we really enjoyed&lt;div&gt; it.&lt;br /&gt;There is barbecues that you are free to use, so you bring the meat, sausages... and you can cook them on the barbecue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/Suy9Hc3yOUI/AAAAAAAAACY/K1pJKA50gLk/s200/Cacato%C3%A8s+2.JPG" style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398897989017286978" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So that's what we did, and then, we took a tour of the reserve to see the animals.&lt;br /&gt;I saw (for the first time) kangaroos, koalas, emus, and other Australians animals.It was nice to see them outside but still in a cage. Now I just have to see them for real...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;hr width="30%"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/Suy9vu2-pPI/AAAAAAAAACg/ra8uQBJuDpA/s200/Walabis+3.JPG" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398898681040512242" /&gt;Hier, nous sommes allés à Blackbutt reserve, un parc-zoo pour un picnic et voir les animaux Australiens.&lt;br /&gt;Il faisait très chaud (à mon goût) et nous en avons bien profité.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il y avait des barbecue en libre service, donc il suffit d'ammenner la viande, les saussisses... et de les faire cuire sur le barbecue mis à disposition.&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SuzrwoUUNRI/AAAAAAAAACo/ygJkFynaH7s/s200/Koalas+5.JPG" style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398949273999258898" /&gt;Donc, c'est ce que l'on a fait et ensuite, nous sommes allés faire le tour du parc pour voir les animaux.&lt;br /&gt;J'ai vu (pour la première fois) des kangourous, des koalas, des emus, et d'autres animax Australiens.&lt;br /&gt;C'était bien de les voir dans un parc avant de les voir en vrai, dans la nature...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-8087093635994703921?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/8087093635994703921/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=8087093635994703921&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/8087093635994703921'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/8087093635994703921'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2009/09/animals-animaux.html' title='Animals... - Animaux...'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/Suy8fT1EY9I/AAAAAAAAACQ/bUI2iOQCqu8/s72-c/Blackbutt+reserve.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-2378497976216628538</id><published>2009-09-30T01:33:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2009-11-01T04:28:33.111+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Where we stay... - Où nous logeons...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/Suz_0bKetAI/AAAAAAAAADg/2XO8gxeXXEY/s1600-h/Maison+derri%C3%A8re.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/Suz_0bKetAI/AAAAAAAAADg/2XO8gxeXXEY/s200/Maison+derri%C3%A8re.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398971329420375042" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;So, for the first two or three weeks, we are around Newcastle staying at Jono &amp;amp; Bec's house. (Jonathan &amp;amp; Rebecca, Jono is Dan's cousin!).&lt;br /&gt;Here are some pictures of their house and the view we have...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We took time to rest after the long flight, but we tried not to fall asleep during the day... So usually, we felt like sleeping at about 3:00 pm. The first two night, we went to bed pretty late (around 11:00 pm), but we still woke up at 5:00 am (short nights!). Now, we are gettting used to the time, so that's good news...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr width="30%"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/Su0ASwRTRpI/AAAAAAAAADo/PLV4b9peEW4/s200/Maison+devant.JPG" style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398971850482206354" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Donc, pour les deux ou trois premières semaines, nous sommes vers Newcastle chez Jono et Bec. (Jonathan et Rebecca, Jonathan est le cousin de Dan!).&lt;br /&gt;Voilà quelques photos de leur maison et de la vue qu'on a depuis chez eux...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a pris du temps pour se repose après le vol, mais on essaye de ne pas s'endormir la journée... D'habitude, on est fatigués vers 15h00. Les deux premières nuits, on est allés se coucher tard (vers 23:00), mais on se réveillait quand même à 5:00 du matin... (ça fait des nuits courtes!). Maintenant, on s'habitue enfin au décalage horaire, c'est beaucoup mieux...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-2378497976216628538?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/2378497976216628538/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=2378497976216628538&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/2378497976216628538'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/2378497976216628538'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2009/09/where-we-stay-ou-nous-logeons.html' title='Where we stay... - Où nous logeons...'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/Suz_0bKetAI/AAAAAAAAADg/2XO8gxeXXEY/s72-c/Maison+derri%C3%A8re.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-3336669685722957350</id><published>2009-09-24T11:00:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-01T03:27:42.687+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Trip to Australia #4 (Last one!) - Voyage en Australie Partie 4 (dernière partie!)</title><content type='html'>Sydney. &lt;br /&gt;Well we arrived in Sydney airport at 8:00 PM (Australia time) so at about 11:00 AM France time. We were not upgraded because the flight was full. Even in First class!&lt;br /&gt;We got some sleep, about 2 or 3 hours total... &lt;br /&gt;When we arrived to pass the security, there was a lot of people going in the line for "Non-Australian or New Zealand passport holders" and we heard that when you're married, you can go to the same line as your husband. So we did, we went on the Australian line and it worked fine. The lady at the desk just put a stamp on my passport and let us pass... I was very glad we did that because I didn't want to spend hours in line to get a stamp...!&lt;br /&gt;Then, we got our luggages back and head out to the luggage control. We had chocolate bars in our luggages, so we declared food and they asked us what kind of food it was, and when we said chocolate and tea, the gyu put a stamp on our security papers and told us to go in line where they won't open our bags...!(We didn't know at the time, but we realised when we saw that our line was going a lot faster and that nobody was there...) Then, another guy checked our security papers and told us to "go directly out"!!! We were so happy that we didn't have to pass another security check and that they didn't want to open our bags...&lt;br /&gt;Then, we met people who came to get us and drove away (another 2 hours drive!!!! YEAH!). I fell asleep for about an hour in the car and that was very nice...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr width=30%&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sydney. &lt;br /&gt;Nous sommes arrivés à l'aéroport de Sydney à 20h00 (heure locale) donc à environ 11h00 de matin en France. Nous n'avons pas été surclassé car le vol était plein, même en première classe! &lt;br /&gt;On a réussi à dormir un peu, environ 2 ou 3 heures au total...&lt;br /&gt;Quand nous sommes arrivés pour le passage de sécurité et de vérification des passeports, il y avait une queue énorme pour les non Australiens ou Néozélandais et on nous avait dit que quand on est mariés, on peut passer dans la file de son mari. Donc, nous l'avons fait, nous sommes passé dans la ligne Australiens et tout s'est bien passé. La dame au bureau a simplement mis le tampon sur mon passeport et nous a laissé passer. J'était très contente car je n'avais pas envie de faire la queue pour un tampon! &lt;br /&gt;Ensuite, nous sommes allés récupérer nos baggages et puis à la douane. Nous avions ramené du chocolat, donc nous l'avons déclaré. Ils nous ont demandé quel genre de nourriture c'était et quand on leur a dit "du chocolat et du thé", l'agent de sécurité nous a tamponné nos billets de déclaration et nous a dit de passer dans la ligne où ils n'allaient pas ouvrir nos baggages. (Nous  ne le savions pas au début, mais on a vite vu qu'on allait plus vite que les autres...). Ensuite, un autre agent nous a demandé les billets de douane et nous a simplement dit d'"aller directement à la sortie".

We both are very tired (mostly because we didn't get any sleep during the 13 hours flight we were just in!!!!) and we hope that there won't be too many people so that we can spread out. We'll see what happens! Thankfully we did the longest flight (13 hours, crazy!) and our last flight should be about 7 hours...

Nous avons demandé un surclassement, mais ils nous ont dit que ce n'était pas possible... Dommage. Nous sommes tous les deux très fatigués (surtout car on n'a pa pu dormir pendant le dernier vol de 13 heures!) et on espère qu'il n'y aura pas trop de monde pour que l'on puisse "s'étaler". On verra bien! Heureusement, on a passé le vol le plus long (13 heures, un truc de fou!) et notre dernier vol devrait durer environ 7 heures...

We didn't know I needed a visa for Australia, so we told her and she replied that even if it's for 8 hours in Australia, you have to get a visa! Thankfully, British Airways were able to deliver one at the airport. (Otherwise I guess I wouldn't have been able to go :( !) Usually you're supposed to get the electronic visa online for free, but we had to pay 35 euros to get it at the airport! &lt;br /&gt;So anyway, we went back to the check-in desk and everything was OK!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr width=30%&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Après 1h30 de voiture pour aller à l'aéroport de Lyon, nous nous sommes présentés à l'enregistrement des baggages et quand j'ai présenté mon passeport français, la dame au comptoir nous  a demandé mon visa électronique. On ne savait pas qu'il m'en fallait un pour un séjour de moins de 3 mois en Australie, mais apparemment, même pour passer 8 heures là-bas, il en faut un! Heureusement, British Airways peut nous en fournir un à l'aéroport. (Sinon, je n'aurais pas pu partir :( !) Normalement, on peut faire la demande de visa électronique gratuitement par Internet auprès du gouvernement australien, mais on a dû payer 35 euros pour l'avoir depuis l'aéroport!&lt;br /&gt;Enfin bref, donc on est retournés à l'enregistrement et tout était OK!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-3357629913834455334?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/3357629913834455334/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=3357629913834455334&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/3357629913834455334'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/3357629913834455334'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2009/09/trip-to-australia-1-voyage-en-australie.html' title='Trip to Australia #1 - Voyage en Australie Partie 1'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-3833994904580038848</id><published>2009-09-11T14:08:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2009-11-01T04:32:12.349+01:00</updated><title type='text'>New appartment... - Nouvel appartement...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/Su0A03QecjI/AAAAAAAAADw/fc-6_P1cCw0/s1600-h/Salon+2.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/Su0A03QecjI/AAAAAAAAADw/fc-6_P1cCw0/s200/Salon+2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398972436473344562" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally!

I'll explain what I did to the guy who is replacing me and then I should be finished...&lt;br /&gt;I won't look for another job in BDO yet because in about a month, we'll leave for Australia for 6 weeks... So I'll find a job when we'll come back. &lt;br /&gt;So this is exciting, my VERY LAST DAY of work before two months of vacation!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;Because, those two months that had past where NOT vacation, we had Camp going on and so, we are all tired and ready to be on vacation. One more week of work camp and we'll be finished!!! YEAH!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We found an apartment in BDO and well move on September 1st so I'm also excited about unpacking stuff that I left in the boxes since I left my apartment in Grenoble...

Donc, je chercherai un boulot en rentrant. &lt;br /&gt;C'est très excitant, mon dernier jour de boulot avant d'être en vacances pour deux mois!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;J'étais en "vacances" les deux derniers mois, mais avec les Camps ce n'étaient PAS des vacances, on est tous fatigués et prêts à partir en vacances. Encore une semaine de camp de travail et ce sera fini!!! OUAIS!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nous avons trouvé un appartement à Bourg d'Oisans et nous déménageons le 1er septembre, donc c'est aussi excitant de savoir que je vais enfin pouvoir déballer mes valises en plein et me retrouver chez moi (enfin chez nous!), je n'avais pas tout déballé en quittant l'appartement de Grenoble...

Sorry. &lt;br /&gt;Well, I've been busy working, moving, coming back from the Honey Moon... &lt;br /&gt;I moved with Dan to the Lindquist's house, but because I was still working in Grenoble, I had to make all the trips from Camp to Grenoble... Which is about 120 Km per day! &lt;br /&gt;I finally gave the key of my apartment back on July 3rd, so I was "free" from that. &lt;br /&gt;Then, I kept driving to Grenoble every day for two weeks. &lt;br /&gt;Now, we're looking at apartments in Bourg d'Oisans to move, and I saw two that I liked last Friday, so Dan will come and see them next week. &lt;br /&gt;Other than that, English Camp is finishing today, so we'll have two quiet days to relax... Then we'll go on to Adult English Camp and then after a week off (in Perpignan for Dan and I) we'll go on for Family Camp and finally Work Camp. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr width=30%&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ca fait un moment que je n'ai pas écrit de post ici... Désolée. &lt;br /&gt;J'ai été très occupée ces derniers temps avec mon déménagement, le boulot, le retour de Lune de Miel...&lt;br /&gt;J'ai déménagé avec Dan chez les Lindquist, mais comme je continuais à travailler à Grenoble, je faisais les trajets depuis le Camp... Ca faisait environ 120 Km par jour! &lt;br /&gt;J'ai finalement rendu mon appartement à Grenoble le 3 juillet donc j'étais "libérée" de ce fardeau. &lt;br /&gt;Puis, j'ai continué à faire les allers-retours pour le boulot tous les jours. &lt;br /&gt;Maintenant, nous regardons les appartements à louer à Bourg d'Oisans, et j'en ai vu deux vendredi dernier qui étaient bien, alors Dan va venir les voir dans la semaine. &lt;br /&gt;Sinon, à part ça, le Camp d'Anglais se termine aujourd'hui, donc on va avoir deux jours pour se détendre... Ensuite, on enchaine avec le Camp Adulte et après une semaine de repos (que l'on passera à Perpignan) on continuera avec le Camp de Famille et enfin le Camp de Travail.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-1665668072412344230?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/1665668072412344230/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=1665668072412344230&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/1665668072412344230'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/1665668072412344230'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2009/07/update-mise-jour.html' title='Update... - Mise à jour...'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-8594968198990829819</id><published>2009-06-05T11:44:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-01T03:27:42.817+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Honeymoon... - Lune de Miel...</title><content type='html'>Well, we have been married for six days now!!!&lt;br /&gt;We are now in Ireland for the second part of our Honeymoon (The first days we were in Grenoble and then we left on the 1st June for London where we stayed three days... and now in Ireland). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had great times in London, visiting the town and taking some time off. But it was crowded and hot. Now, in Ireland, it feel cooler (espescially when we came out from the plane...) and there are less people. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We found great Bed &amp; Breakfast "hotels" where we met very nice people and had great Full English Breakfast...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, we went to Dublin yesterday (where we landed) and we drove all the way to Galway (where we are now) with the Toyota Yaris that we rented (red).

Maintenant, en Irelande, il fait beaucoup plus froid (surtout quand on est descendus de l'avion...) et il y a beaucoup moins de monde. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a trouvé des supers hôtels "Bed &amp; Breakfast" où nous avons rencontré des gens très sympas et mangé des "Full English Breakfast". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hier on a attéri à Dublin et on est resté dormir là, puis nous avons conduit jusqu'à Galway où nous sommes maintenant en Toyota Yaris rouge.

So I met him a little. He is very nice. He looked tired but he was still talking and laughing! &lt;br /&gt;Then, this week-end, I went to Camp (as usual) and so I got the chance to spend more time with him. It was a great week-end and we had a lot of fun times...&lt;br /&gt;Today, Dan had a handball game and so we went to see him in Fontaine (near Grenoble) and they won!!! 33 - 22! It was a hard game but they fought and won. Congratulations BDO! (Bourg D'Oisans...). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr width=30%&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mercredi dernier, Dan est allé cherché son père (Nigel) à la gare de Grenoble et ils sont venus me voir pour dire bonjour. Donc j'ai rencontré le papa de Dan pour un petit moment. Il est très gentil. Il avait l'air fatigué mais on a tout de même discuté et rigolé!&lt;br /&gt;Puis, ce week-end, je suis montée au Camp (comme d'hab) et j'ai donc eu l'occasion de passer plus de temps avec lui. C'était un super week-end et on a passé de très bons moments...&lt;br /&gt;Aujourd'hui, Dan avait un match de hand donc on est allés le voir à Fontaine et ils ont gagné!!! 33 à 22! C'était un match difficile, mais ils se sont battus et ils ont gagné. Bravo BDO!

So, another day off, so another three days week-end! &lt;br /&gt;* Thursday 21th May, it is the "ascension" of Christ! So we don't work on Thursday, and at the School, we worked on a Saturday in February so that we have also Friday 22th off! So it's going to be a 4 days off week-end!!!! That's when we'll have our family reunion for the birthdays!&lt;br /&gt;* Last but not least of them, is on May 29th (Friday) I took a day off work for the Wedding! It's not going to be a Week-end off, but a 10 days week off!!!! So this is very exciting! &lt;br /&gt;So for all those week-ends, I'll go up to Camp to see Dan and to spend some time there!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This past week-end, I  said goodbye to the team from South Carolina, they came to help finish the construction on the 5th floor !! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, have good week-ends!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr width=30%&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le week-end dernier était le premier de quatre longs week-ends du mois de mai! &lt;br /&gt;Je m'explique : &lt;br /&gt;* ce premer week-end on avait le vendredi férié car c'était le 1er mai (fête du travail!)&lt;br /&gt;* le week-end prochain, on ne bosse pas non plus le vendredi car c'est le 8 mai (victoire de la deuxième guerre mondiale : 8 mai 1945!), donc un autre jour férié, donc un autre long week-end!&lt;br /&gt;* le 21 mai, c'est le jeudi de l'ascension (férié). Comme au lycée on a travaillé le samedi des journées portes ouvertes, on fait le pont! Donc, ça sera un week-end de 4 jours!!!! C'est ce week-end qu'on a notre réunion de famille pour fêter les anniversaires!!!&lt;br /&gt;* le dernier, et pas le moindre (!) commencera le 29 mai. J'ai pris un jour de congé pour la veille du mariage! Plus la semaine après le mariage. Donc ça ne sera pas un long week-end, mais plutôt 10 jours de vacances!!!! Donc, ça sera super!&lt;br /&gt;Pour tous ces week-ends, je vais au Camp (comme c'est bizarre!) pour voir Dan et aussi pour passer du temps là-bas! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le week-end dernier, j'ai dit au revoir à l'équipe de Caroline du Sud qui est venue pour travailler dans les combles du Grand Bâtiment! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Passez de bons week-ends!!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-7382699817806249410?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/7382699817806249410/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=7382699817806249410&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/7382699817806249410'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/7382699817806249410'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2009/05/long-week-end-1-of-4-long-week-end-14.html' title='Long Week-end # 1 of 4! - Long Week-end 1/4!'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-1377858269045797295</id><published>2009-04-21T10:39:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-01T03:27:42.853+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Back to work - De retour au boulot</title><content type='html'>Well, yesterday was my first day back to work after two weeks of vacation...&lt;br /&gt;It was not too bad.

We were busy driving around to go see those people but we had a great time.&lt;br /&gt;Then, on Sunday afternoon, we came back to Grenoble and we went to see the Charras family (Chantal, Patrice, Camille, Paul and Alice) because Chantal is working on my wedding dress and we went there so I can try it for the second time... It looks very good!&lt;br /&gt;Then, on Sunday night, we came back to my appartement to pick some stuff up to go to Camp. We eat at my place and then went to Camp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been here since then and, as usual, it's been very good and nice!&lt;br /&gt;A team from South Carolina arrived the Friday before us to help the Camp and work on the fifth floor of the New Building. They are very nice and I've known some of them (Bob and Jane) for some time now... So it's always good to see them again.&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday, we were invited by them to eat dinner and play games. So we taught them how to play "Take it easy" and they liked it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow evening, April Ski Camp is starting, so we have everything ready and are waiting for the people to come. It's going to be a great week. I know that time will go by very fast, but it's always good times, so...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About the wedding, we are still preparing some stuff. We decided what we would eat for the meal and now we have to talk about the ceremony stuff (music, songs, who will do what...etc).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr width="30%"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depuis vendredi dernier (pas hier mais il y a une semaine) à 17h00, je suis en vacances&lt;br /&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;Le week-end dernier, on est allés à Lyon pour voir ma grand-mère (Mamie), ma cousine et sa famille (Laetitia, Pascal, Jojo, Elsa et Cassandre) et les Philit (Michèle, Laurent et Nico).&lt;br /&gt;C'était un super week-end. On était un peu occupés à conduire dans Lyon pour aller d'un endroit à l'autre, mais on a passé de très bons moments.&lt;br /&gt;Ensuite, dimanche après-midi, on est revenus à Grenoble et on est allés voir les Charras (Chantal, Patrice, Camille, Paul et Alice) car Chantal me fait ma robe de mariée et je devais aller faire un deuxième essayage... Elle est vraiment super!&lt;br /&gt;Puis, le soir, on est allés à mon appart pour chercher des affaires pour aller au Camp ensuite. On a mangé chez moi et ensuite on est partis pour le Camp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Je suis restée ici depuis et, comme d'hab, c'est super!&lt;br /&gt;Une équipe de Caroline du Sud est arrivée le vendredi avant nous au Camp pour travailler dans les combles du Grand Bâtiment.  Ils sont vraiment très sympa et j'en connais certains (Bob et Jane) depuis un moment... Donc c'est toujours chouette de les revoir.&lt;br /&gt;Hier, ils nous ont invité pour le dîner et pour faire des jeux. On leur a appris à jouer à "Take it easy" et ils ont bien aimé.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Demain soir, le Camp de Ski Franco-Américain commencera, donc tout est prêt pour ça et on n'attend plus que les campeurs arrivent. Ca va être une super semaine. Je sais que le temps va passer très vite, mais bon, c'est toujours bien de revoir des gens qu'on n'a pas vus depuis longtemps...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pour le mariage, on a encore quelques trucs à préparer. On a décidé du repas et on doit maintenant discuter pour tout ce qui concerne la cérémonie (la musique, les chants, qui va faire quoi, ...etc).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-7081828927421889810?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/7081828927421889810/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=7081828927421889810&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/7081828927421889810'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/7081828927421889810'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2009/04/vacation-en-vacances.html' title='Holidays - En vacances'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-5953701899499356367</id><published>2009-03-31T21:50:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-01T03:27:42.939+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Crikey! - Sacrebleu !

So here it is. &lt;br /&gt;Anyway, it was kind of hard to go to work after that, but... I'm almost on vacation (at the end of this week!!) so it's OK. &lt;br /&gt;Well, that's all I have to say : CRIKEY!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr width=30%&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dimanche dernier, Allison et Shannon sont venues pour passer la nuit chez moi car elles avaient des trains/avions à prendre le lendemain !&lt;br /&gt;Donc, on a passé de très bons moments ensemble et on a regardé "Australia".

On a bien rit avec le mot "Crikey" (sacrebleu je crois en français) donc j'ai décidé de créer un post sur mon blog avec Crikey omme titre...

So I left Camp early and missed the Talent Night! (But that's OK) But we had a lot of fun and we worked to prepare the animation for the big family week-end we'll have in May... &lt;br /&gt;Then, last week-end, we had the "Doors open day" at school (work) from 8:30 am til 4:00 pm. It was exhausting and then we had church that evening...&lt;br /&gt;Now, this week-end, I had another cousin (Jérémie, Stéphanie's brother) for the week-end too. It was very nice to see him and spend time with him. And also, we talked about what we would do for the family reunion again!!!!&lt;br /&gt;Today was also very sunny (blue sky and no clouds) and hot (well, not summer hot, but hot for March...). So, when Jérémie was looking at some stuff on the computer, I took a book (that I started quite long ago "Gone baby gone") and went on the balcony to read in the sun. Great time, very resting... (I needed that)&lt;br /&gt;:( But tomorrow, I'll have to go back to work and I already know that it's going to be a big week (starting with some Internet problems that we couldn't fix Friday afternoon...)... But that's life!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr width=30%&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Donc, ça fait un bout de temps que je n'ai rien mis sur mon blog...&lt;br /&gt;Il y a deux week-ends, j'ai eu ma cousine (Stéphanie) à la maison pour le week-end (depuis le vendredi soir jusqu'au dimanche après-midi). Donc, je suis partie du Camp plus tôt est j'ai loupé la soirée Talents! (Mais ce n'est pas grave) Mais on a passé de très bons moments et on a pu travailler sur la préparation de l'animation pour la grande réunion de famille en mai. ..&lt;br /&gt;Ensuite, le week-end dernier, il y avait la "Journée Portes Ouvertes" au lycée (boulot) à partir de 8h30 jusqu'à 16h. C'était très fatiguant et on avait culte le même jour au soir...&lt;br /&gt;Et ce week-end, j'ai eu un autre cousin (Jérémie, le frère de Stéphanie) à la maison pour le week-end. C'était super de passer du temps avec lui et de le voir. Et, évidemment, on a aussi parlé des anniversaire du mois de mai!!!!&lt;br /&gt;Aujourd'hui, il faisait super beau (ciel bleu et pas de nuages) et chaud (enfin pas chaud comme en été, mais chaud pour la mois de mars...). Donc, quand Jérémie regardait des trucs sur Internet, j'ai pris un livre (que j'ai commencé depuis un certain temps "Gone baby gone") et je suis allée sur la balcon pour lire au soleil. Super moment, très reposant... (J'en avais besoin)&lt;br /&gt;:( Mais demain, il faudra que je retourne bosser and je sais déjà que ce sera une grosse semaine (qui commencera avec des problèmes d'Internet que l'on n'a pas pu résoudre vendredi après-midi...)... Mais c'est la vie!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-897909629899380231?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/897909629899380231/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=897909629899380231&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/897909629899380231'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/897909629899380231'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2009/03/family-week-ends-week-ends-en-famille.html' title='Family week-ends! - Week-ends en famille !'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-5685745308058821074</id><published>2009-01-27T17:26:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-11-01T04:18:43.568+01:00</updated><title type='text'>My first opera - Mon premier opéra</title><content type='html'>Well, yesterday I went to see my first opera!&lt;br /&gt;It's a crazy story...&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday, I was at work and one of the teachers called me and asked me what I was doing that evening. I said that I didn't have anything in particular, so she asked me if I wanted to go to Lyon with them and some kids to see an opera.&lt;br /&gt;I hesitated a little bit and, after 1 minute, I decided to go! (That was a record for me, I took a decision in 1 minte!!!!!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, the show was great and we got to see two of the singers (from Iceland) after the performance to ask them questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was really a fun time.&lt;br /&gt;Then, we came back at around 1 am and I went to bed very quickly because I had to work this morning!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;hr width="30%"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hier, je suis allée à mon premier opéra!&lt;br /&gt;C'était une histoire folle...&lt;br /&gt;Hier, donc, j'étais au boulot et une des profs du lycée m'appelle et me demande ce que je fais ce soir-là.

(C'est un record, j'ai pris une décision en 1 minute!!!!!).&lt;br /&gt;Bref, le spectacle était super et on a pu discuter ensuite avec deux des chanteurs (qui viennent d'Islande) après le spectacle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C'était vraiment un bon moment.&lt;br /&gt;Bon, après on est rentrés vers 1 heure du matin et je suis vite allée me coucher car ce matin je devais me lever!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-5685745308058821074?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/5685745308058821074/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=5685745308058821074&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/5685745308058821074'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/5685745308058821074'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2009/01/my-first-opera-mon-premier-opera.html' title='My first opera - Mon premier opéra'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-1704882445408007925</id><published>2009-01-04T10:31:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-10-01T03:27:43.088+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Vacation's over! - Les vacances sont finies !</title><content type='html'>Well, here we are, back to Grenoble after a week in Perpignan for Christmas and 4 days at Camp. &lt;br /&gt;It was not too hard to go back to work so it's OK.&lt;br /&gt;Christmas went weel although we were all sick (not at the same time hopefully)! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I just wanted to say : &lt;br /&gt;HAPPY NEW YEAR to everybody!

I tried to stop him but he was stronger than me so I gave up because I didn't want to get hurt!&lt;br /&gt;I was feeling very bad for the next day and I had to tell the people at work what happened...&lt;br /&gt;When I told them, they were all very nice and asked me if everything was OK, if I wasn't hurt... They also said that it was not bad if there is one computer missing... They were (and still are!) very nice. &lt;br /&gt;Yesterday, I was reading my Bible after Bible study (I am reading the Bible in One Year) and I was reading Monday's verses and here is what I read: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"I look up to the mountains - does my help come from there? &lt;br /&gt;My help comes from the Lord, who made the heavens and the earth! &lt;br /&gt;He will not let you stumble and fall; the one who watches over you will not sleep. &lt;br /&gt;Indeed, he who watches over Israel never tires and never sleeps. &lt;br /&gt;The Lors himself watches over you! The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade. &lt;br /&gt;The sun will not hurt you by day, nor the moon at night. &lt;br /&gt;The Lord keeps you from all eviland preserves your life. &lt;br /&gt;The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever. " &lt;br /&gt;Psalm 121&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those words were very encouraging to me. Then, when I went to work the next day, I saw on my iGoogle page (I have a gadget that gives you a verse per day), on Monday, it was one of my favorite verses, Jeremiah 29:11: "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." I saw this verse from another angle. Usually I love this verse because it says that God knows what he is doing and you just have to trust him because he has a plan for each one of us. But that day, the words that came out were "not to harm you"... God has a plan for us all and it is a plan that will not harm us, just like the guy who took the computer didn't hurt me! I really think that God was with me that day (as always)...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;hr width=30%&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lundi dernier, je revenais du Badminton à 20h00 quand un type qui me suivait m'a volé l'ordinateur portable de mon boulot et est parti en courant avec. J'ai essayé de l'arrêter, mais il était plus fort que moi et j'ai abandonné car je ne voulais pas qu'il me fasse du mal! &lt;br /&gt;Du coup, j'étais vraiment mal le lendemain et je devais dire au proviseur ce qui s'était passé...&lt;br /&gt;Quand je le lui ai dit, il m'a tout de suite dit qu'il ne fallait pas que je m'inquiète, que ce n'était pas grave et qu'ils ne m'en voulaient pas. Il a vraiment été très sympa (et tous ceux à qui je l'ai dit!)&lt;br /&gt;Hier, je lisais ma Bible après le groupe étudiants (je lis la Bible en un an avec un petit guide) et je lisais le passage du lundi. Voilà ce que j'ai lu : &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"Je lève les yeux vers les monts : d'où le secours me viendra-t-il?&lt;br /&gt;Mon secours vient de l'Eternel qui a fait les cieux et la terre.&lt;br /&gt;Il te gardera des faux pas, ton gardien ne dormira pas. &lt;br /&gt;Non, jamais il ne dort, jamais il ne sommeille, le gardien d'Israël. &lt;br /&gt;L'Eternel sera ton gardien, l'Eternel est à ton côté comme une ombre qui te protège, et, durant le jour, le soleil ne te causera aucun mal ni, au cours de la nuit, la lune. &lt;br /&gt;Oui, l'Eternel te gardera de tout malheur : il gardera ta vie. &lt;br /&gt;L'Eternel veillera sur toi de ton départ à ton retour, dès maintenant et à jamais. "&lt;br /&gt;Psaume 121&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ces mots m'ont vraiment encouragé. Puis, le lendemain, je suis allée au boulot et, sur ma page iGoogle (j'ai un gadget qui affiche un verset par jour), pour le lundi, c'était un de mes versets préférés : Jérémie 29:11 : "Car moi je connais les projets que j'ai conçus en votre faveur, déclare l'Eternel : ce sont des projets de paix et non de malheur, afin de vous assurer un avenir plein d'espérance. " J'ai vu ce verset sous un nouvel angle. D'habitude, j'aime ce verset car il dit que Dieu sait ce qu'il fait et que nous avons à lui faire confiance car il a un plan pour chacun d'entre nous. Mais cette fois, les mots qui sont ressortis sont "et non de malheur"... Dieu a un plan pour nous tous et ce n'est pas un plan qui va nous blesser, comme le type qui n'a pas chercher à me taper et à me faire du mal! Je suis convaincue que Dieu était présent à mes côtés ce jour-là (comme d'habitude)...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-1629758536806950890?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/1629758536806950890/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=1629758536806950890&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/1629758536806950890'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/1629758536806950890'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2008/12/third-thought-une-troisieme-pensee.html' title='A third thought - Une troisième pensée'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-1107813897529718800</id><published>2008-11-28T21:25:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2009-11-01T04:16:36.380+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Snow in Grenoble! - La neige à Grenoble!</title><content type='html'>This morning, when I woke up and opened the window, I saw snow in the street, the sidewalks, the trees...!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lot of people arrived late at work and it was a good day.&lt;br /&gt;It was beautiful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;hr width="30%"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ce matin, quand je me suis réveillée et que j'ai ouvert les volets, il y avait de la neige dans la rue, sur le trottoir; dans les arbres...!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beaucoup de personnes sont arrivées en retard et c'était une bonne journée.&lt;br /&gt;C'était très beau.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-1107813897529718800?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/1107813897529718800/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=1107813897529718800&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/1107813897529718800'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/1107813897529718800'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2008/11/snow-in-grenoble-la-neige-grenoble.html' title='Snow in Grenoble! - La neige à Grenoble!'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-4730573050222759386</id><published>2008-11-06T18:01:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-11-01T03:51:22.362+01:00</updated><title type='text'>New Car! - Nouvelle Voiture!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/Suz3kX5WllI/AAAAAAAAADQ/fIVz4aF3rFc/s1600-h/clio.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/Suz3kX5WllI/AAAAAAAAADQ/fIVz4aF3rFc/s200/clio.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398962257572304466" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ytxtlc15k50/SRMqzYCE-JI/AAAAAAAADzk/klGq7SU4tyE/s1600-h/P1000035.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;On Monday, I bought a "new" car! It's a Renault Clio, I bought it from Léo Mutzner (one of the elders at Church) and it works very well.&lt;br /&gt;Other than that, I just went back to work today after a week and a half of vacation.&lt;br /&gt;We went to Perpignan with Dan and we saw Edwige's new appartment! It is lovely. It's small but she did a great job with the decoration!&lt;br /&gt;We celebrated my birthday there and the bought me a digital camera! So all the pictures you'll see here from now will be taken with that camera (instead of the webcam on my computer!...)&lt;br /&gt;Well, here is a fun story... Yesterday, I went to Carrefour to buy some gas for my new car. I filled the car and then I looked for my checkbook in my bag and couldn't find it! Then, I looked for my credit card and couldn't find it either...! Then, I remembered that I was doing my accounting before I left and that I left both my checkbook and my card on my desk!&lt;br /&gt;I was really embarassed and went to see the woman who was taking the money from the custumers and I told her that I forgot my checkbook and my card and that I didn't have enough cash to pay her. Then, she asked me for the paper of the car and wrote my name, address, ... on a piece of paper. Then, she told me to go get some money and come back to pay.&lt;br /&gt;So, she let me out of the gas station and I drove back home, took my checkbook and my card and drove back to Carrefour (hopefully, it's only 4 Km away, which is like 15 minutes driving). I got there and paied her and everything was fine!&lt;br /&gt;So if this ever happens to you (I hope it won't...), you'll know what to do!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;hr width="30%"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lundi dernier, j'ai acheté une "nouvelle voiture"! C'est une Renault Clio 1.9 Diesel et je l'ai achetée à Léo Mutzner (un des anciens de l'Eglise) et elle roule très bien.&lt;br /&gt;A part ça, je viens de reprendre le boulot après une semaine et demi de vacances.&lt;br /&gt;On est allés à Perpignan avec Dan et on a vu l'appartement d'Edwige! Il est super! Il n'est pas très grand mais elle a bien emménagé l'espace et ça rend vrai,ent bien avec sa déco!&lt;br /&gt;On a fêté mon anniversaire et ils m'ont acheté un apareil photo numérique! Donc les photos que vous allez voir sur mon blog à partir de maintenant seront prises avec celui-ci (au lieu de la webcam de mon ordinateur...!)&lt;br /&gt;Sinon, voici une petite histoire drôle... Hier, je suis allée à Carrefour pour acheter de l'essence pour la Clio. J'ai fait le plein et, en cherchant dans mon sac pour mon chéquier, je ne le trouvais pas. Du coup, j'ai cherché ma carte bleue, idem...! Ensuite, je me suis rappellée que j'étais en train de faire mes comptes à la maison avant de partir et que j'avais donc tout laisser sur mon bureau!&lt;br /&gt;J'étais très embarrassée quand je suis allée voir la caissière pour lui dire que je n'avais aucun moyen de paiement. Alors, elle m'a demandé ma carte grise et a noté mon nom, mon adresse, ... sur une feuille en me disant d'aller chercher de quoi payer et de revenir.&lt;br /&gt;Elle m'a donc ouvert la barriere et je suis rentrée à la maison chercher mon chéquier et ma carte bleue et je suis retournée à Carrefour. (Heureusement, ce n'est qu'à 4 Km, environ 15 minutes).&lt;br /&gt;Donc, je l 'ai payée et ensuite j'ai fait mes courses normales!&lt;br /&gt;Donc, voilà, je vous partage mon expérience pour que, si ça vous arrive (et j'espère que ça ne sera pas le cas!), vous sachiez quoi faire!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-4730573050222759386?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/4730573050222759386/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=4730573050222759386&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/4730573050222759386'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/4730573050222759386'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2008/11/new-car-nouvelle-voiture.html' title='New Car! - Nouvelle Voiture!'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/Suz3kX5WllI/AAAAAAAAADQ/fIVz4aF3rFc/s72-c/clio.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-1384188807776339976</id><published>2008-10-20T11:00:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-01T03:27:43.022+02:00</updated><title type='text'>It's been a long time! - Ça faisait longtemps!</title><content type='html'>Hey everyone, it has been a long time since I've written my last post!!

Before we had had dessert, it was rainning! So we went back to the car in the rain. It was great!&lt;br /&gt;Then, we came back to Camp and it is still rainning hard now! We were glad we could enjoy the sun and take pictures before it started to rain!

Du coup il a fait beau depuis le départ du Camp jusqu'au dernier lac où on a mangé. Quand on en était au dessert, il a commencé à pleuvoir et on est rentrés sous la pluie! C'était super!&lt;br /&gt;Ensuite, on est revenus au Camp et il pleut encore très fort maintenant!

Robert told Dan about it because he used to go too. He didn't this time because he couldn't, but we did! It was the 9th annual hike to "La Croix de Cassini". So we left at about 9:45 am from Le Freney, we drove from there to Col de Sarenne and we hiked to the top where people were waiting for us with bottles of wine and "saussisson"... We had a speech from a guy who is teaching geography and more (I don't really know what it is!), but he told us about the dynamics of the mountains around us. It was very interesting. Then, we went back down and people from Le Freney had mowed a part of the grass and put tables and chairs and were cooking "diots" and mushrooms... So we started to eat at about 2:00 pm and finished around 5:00 pm! A French meal! Everybody had homemade alcohol to try... I didn't take any because I don't like alcohol, but Dan had some of them and I guess it was not too bad! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was great 'cause we met a lot of people from the area and we were able to tell them where we stayed (which is Camp!) and what we are doing there! Anyway, I drove back to Camp and we were supposed to go to church, but we were late! So we stayed at Camp and watched some episodes of Alias!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;hr width="30%"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aujourd'hui, Dan et moi sommes allés faire une randonnée avec les gens du Freney (un village au dessus de La Rivoire). Robert avait parlé à Dan de cette sortie car il y va d'habitude. Cette fois il ne pouvait pas y être, mais nous y sommes allés! C'était la 9me randonnée annuelle de La Croix de Cassini. Donc on est partis vers 9h45 du Freney en voiture jusqu'au Col de Sarenne et on est allés jusqu'à la Croix où des personnes nous attendaient avec des bouteilles de vin et du saussisson... Nous avons eu un petit cours de géographie sur les dynamiques des montagnes aux alentours par un gars qui est prof à la fac de Lyon (je ne suis plus très sûre où exactement). C'était très intéressant. Ensuite, nous sommes redescendus et des personnes de la commune du Freney avaient tondu une partie de l'herbe et installé des tables et des chaises. Ils cuisinaient des diots et des champignons... Donc, on a commencé à manger vers 14h pour finir vers 17h! Presque tout le monde avait un digestif fait maison à faire goûter... Je n'en ai pas pris, malgré l'insistance des gens. Dan en a goûté certains et a aimé. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C'était super car on a pu faire connaissance avec des gens du coin et on a pu leur dire où on habitait (c'est-à-dire au Camp) et ce que l'on fait là-bas! Bref! Du coup j'ai conduit jusqu'au Camp et nous devions aller au culte, mais du coup c'était trop tard donc on est restés au Camp et on a regardé quelques épisodes d'Alias!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-4731262890820054930?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/4731262890820054930/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=4731262890820054930&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/4731262890820054930'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/4731262890820054930'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2008/08/hike-with-people-from-le-freney-rando.html' title='Hike with people from Le Freney - Rando avec les gens du Freney'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-4182455923375496029</id><published>2008-08-26T12:46:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-01T03:27:43.055+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Great Week-end...already finished! - Super week-end...déjà fini!</title><content type='html'>Well, last week-end was very nice! We all had good times together. &lt;br /&gt;On saturday we went shopping in town (to find the Huguenot Cross for Shannon and more!) and after lunch (that we had at around 1:30 pm!) we went to Grand'Place which is a mall in Grenoble. So in total that day, we walked for about 7 hours!&lt;br /&gt;Then, on sunday, Dan joined us to go to Church. We went to a bilingual service with the International Church of Grenoble and the Centre Evangelique Prostestant. It was a very simple but nice service. &lt;br /&gt;After that, we (Shannon, Dan and I, Jess didn't want to go) went to the movies to see "The Dark Knight" in English with French subtitles. Then we just relaxed for the rest of the day. We had a chocolate fondue with crepes for dinner... it was very good!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;hr width="30%"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le week-end dernier était vraiment super! Nous avons tous passé de très bons moments ensemble. &lt;br /&gt;Samedi on est allées faire du shopping en ville (pour acheter la Croix Huguenote de Shannon entre autres...) et après manger (on a mangé à peu près vers 13 heures!) on est allées à Grand'Place. Du coup durant toute la journée, on a dû marcher environ 7 heures!&lt;br /&gt;Ensuite, Dimanche Dan nous a rejoins pour aller au culte bilingue. C'était avec l'Eglise Internationale de Grenoble et le CEP. C'était un culte très simple mais vraiment bien. &lt;br /&gt;Après le culte et après le repas, Shannon, Dan et moi sommes allés voir "The Dark Knight", le dernier Batman en VOST. Jess n'avait pas spécialement envie de le voir, du coup elle est restée. Ensuite on n'a rien fit de particulier sauf se reposer un peu... Pour le repas du soir, on a fait une fondue au chocolat avec des crêpes! C'était vraiment délicieux!!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-4182455923375496029?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/4182455923375496029/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=4182455923375496029&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/4182455923375496029'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/4182455923375496029'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2008/08/great-week-endalready-finished-super.html' title='Great Week-end...already finished! - Super week-end...déjà fini!'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-4275219676831898492</id><published>2008-08-23T08:01:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-01T03:27:43.063+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Great week-end...only starting! - Super week-end...qui ne fait que commencer!</title><content type='html'>Well, yesterday, I went to the train station to pick Shannon &amp;amp; Jess (an Australian friend) up when they arrived from BDO (Bourg d'Oisans)! Last week, during Family Camp (before I had to go back to work!), I invited them to come visit me in Grenoble for a week-end. (I also invited Heather, another great Australian girl, but she couldn't come yesterday, so maybe today?). &lt;br /&gt;Anyway, we ordered pizzas and ate them on my porch (balcony...) watching the sky changing while the sun was setting behind the mountains... It was great, except for the fact that after a while it started to rain on us!!!&lt;br /&gt;Right now, the girls are still asleep, but we are planning on going to town today to buy a Huguenot Cross for Shannon and go shopping...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;hr width="30%"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Donc, hier je suis allée chercher Shannon &amp;amp; Jess (une amie Australienne) à la gare routière alors qu'elles arrivaient de BDO (Bourg d'Oisans)! La semaine dernière, pendant le Camp de Famille (avant que je retourne au boulot!), je les avait invitées à me rendre visite à Grenoble pour un week-end. (J'avais aussi invité Heather, une autre super fille Australienne, mais elle n'a pas pu venir hier, peut-être aujourd'hui?). &lt;br /&gt;Bref, on a commandé des pizzas et on les a mangées sur mon balcon tout en regardant le ciel qui changeait alors que le soleil se couchait derrière les montagnes... C'était super, sauf quand il s'est mis à pleuvoir en travers et à nous arroser!!!&lt;br /&gt;Maintenant, les filles sont encore en train de dormir, mais on a prévu d'aller en ville aujourd'hui pour acheter une Croix Huguenotte pour Shannon et faire du shopping...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-4275219676831898492?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/4275219676831898492/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=4275219676831898492&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/4275219676831898492'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/4275219676831898492'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2008/08/great-week-endonly-starting-super-week.html' title='Great week-end...only starting! - Super week-end...qui ne fait que commencer!'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-7787064649340635577</id><published>2008-08-20T18:46:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-01T03:27:43.071+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Back to work! - De retour au boulot!</title><content type='html'>So, summer is over... It went by very fast, too fast actually, but it was great, as always!&lt;br /&gt;So today was my first day back to work. It was not too bad, it's funny because there's nobody there yet, they'll arrive on September 1st, so now it's only a couple of people there! It's fun!&lt;br /&gt;It was strange to find myself alone in my apartment after having spent a week with 93 people! But I like it too. &lt;br /&gt;It's funny that after having spent two months away from home, when I got back I just act like if I never left, I just went back to the habits I had before I left and the routine of going to work, eat and then go back to bed...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;hr width="30%/"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bon, ben l'été est fini... C'est passé vite, trop vite en fait, mais c'était super, comme d'hab!&lt;br /&gt;Donc, aujourd'hui c'était mon premier jour de reprise du boulot. Il s'est bien passé, c'est marrant parce-qu'il n'y a personne encore, ils vont tous arriver le 1er Septembre, donc maintenant il n'y a que quelques personnes! C'est chouette!&lt;br /&gt;C'était bizarre de me retrouver toute seule dans mon appartement après avoir passé une semaine avec 93 personnes! Mais j'aime bien ça aussi. &lt;br /&gt;C'est marrant car même après avoir passé deux mois au Camp, quand je suis revenue, j'ai retrouvé mes habitudes comme si je n'étais jamais partie et la routine du "métro-boulot-dodo"...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-7787064649340635577?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/7787064649340635577/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=7787064649340635577&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/7787064649340635577'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/7787064649340635577'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2008/08/back-to-work-de-retour-au-boulot.html' title='Back to work! - De retour au boulot!'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-1775123375729098865</id><published>2008-08-19T19:01:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-01T03:27:43.080+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Bilingual blog! - Blog bilingue!</title><content type='html'>From now on, I'll write my posts in both English and French, so that my French friends will be able to understand what I am writing here!

We arrived yesterday by train (it os cheaper that way!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;We took my car to drive to G-town (Grenoble) and parked it at the train station (there's a free parking there). We took a bus from G-town to Valence and we almost missed it because they usually park at the end of the bus station, so we waited there, and I went to the train station to take some labels to put on our luggage and I saw two buses waiting for passengers with signs on them saying "Valence TGV" and "Valence Ville"! So I ran back to tell Dan that we had to go there. We were just in time, thanks to God! If I didn't want to go get those labels, I wouldn't have seen the buses and we would have missed it! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Anyway, we arrived in Valance Ville where we had to wait one our for the train that would take us to Perpignan! After 30 minutes, we saw that the train we were supposed to take was already 30 minutes late! So we had one more hour to wait. I called my Mum to tell her that we'd be late and she told me that when a train is more than 30 minutes late and it, the SNCF gives you an envelope and you can get reimbursed for 20% of the price you payed the ticket! So we were kind of hopping that the train would be more that 30 minutes late!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We were supposed to leave Valence at 3:08 pm and at about 3:20 pm, we decided to go to the dock to wait for our train. Then, the loudspeaker announced our train would be 40 minutes late! So Dan went to buy some Gelato ice cream "on the SNCF" as he said!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Finally, our train arrived at about 3:50 pm and we went on it. We started to move when the train stopped for about 10-15 minutes! I don't know why we stopped but we were now 1 hour late! We finally left Valence and I guess I slept for at least one hour (which was great!) while Dan was working on his e-mails!!!! During the trip, the SNCF people on the train announced that, for some destinations, people had to take a different train because we were late, so they would miss the train they were supposed to take after that one, so it was crazy! Hopefully, we&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; only changed once in Valence. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/Suzvxe9Z8bI/AAAAAAAAADA/vtJ6tZP_mNc/s200/gare+perpignan.jpg" style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398953686713627058" /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Finally, I called my Mum when we arrived in Narbonne (because the time the train take to go from Narbonne to Perpignan is the same as Mum needs to come from home to pick us up at the train station! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So we finally arrived 1 hour and 15 minutes late and we got the envelope o be reimbursed! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I just saw that we have 45 days to send it to them, but I guess I'll do it as soon as I can! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But we made it... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-5941883399824369595?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/5941883399824369595/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=5941883399824369595&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/5941883399824369595'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/5941883399824369595'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2008/08/sncf-which-is-national-train-service-in.html' title='SNCF (Which is the National Train Service in France)'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SuzvrU4bxdI/AAAAAAAAAC4/uBCxHT5pWQc/s72-c/sncf_logo.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-9112913671698011014</id><published>2008-08-01T07:49:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-01T03:27:43.113+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Adult English Camp</title><content type='html'>So, after the English Camp, we had the Adult English Camp.

We spent one night there and I woke up hearing cows running around! I was very afraid that they would trampled us, but it didn't happen! Also, we went to the Lac Lauvitel and I went in the lake (just the legs, but still...). It was so cold! I guess it was around 8°C! It was cold for me, I am not used to go in water so cold, but I went there slowly, talking with Shannon...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now, we have a week before Family Camp starts and Dan and I are going to Perpignan to see my parents on August 4th!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-9112913671698011014?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/9112913671698011014/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=9112913671698011014&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/9112913671698011014'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/9112913671698011014'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2008/07/adult-english-camp.html' title='Adult English Camp'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-1773541482628785214</id><published>2008-07-25T07:59:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-01T03:27:43.105+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Another thought...</title><content type='html'>Here is a thought I had today while we were having our "solo time" after our night out at Col d'Arsine. For the "solo time" I went up the hill surrounding the place we planted our tents. I could see the whole valley with the path we took the day before, it was a great spot! So here is my thought: &lt;div&gt;We are in a path (the path of our life) and sometimes we don't know which way we have to go. We see several different ways we could go for, but we don't know which one God wants us to take. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sometimes we see a path that looks easy and we think it's the one we're supposed to take, or we want it to be! But God is on the top of a mountain and He sees all paths. So we have to trust Him and pray that He shows us the right one He has prepared for us. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sometimes that path is hard at first and we may not want to take it, but we have to, for "He knows the plans He has for us..." (Jer. 29.11)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Jesus showed us the way...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;God is the way...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-1773541482628785214?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/1773541482628785214/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=1773541482628785214&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/1773541482628785214'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/1773541482628785214'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2008/07/another-thought.html' title='Another thought...'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-5816371520725283749</id><published>2008-07-19T07:37:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-01T03:27:43.121+02:00</updated><title type='text'>English Camp 2008</title><content type='html'>So, as I wrote on my last post, I am at Camp des Cimes for the summer.

(I had Steve, Morey, RC, Caleb &amp;amp; Dan from Camp and two friends of Angélique came to help us!) &lt;div&gt;It was great to be able to help friends so we had to take care of the "vin d'honneur" (I don't know how to say this in English! It's when you drink and eat after the church's ceremony and before the meal: an "apéritif" at church), so we prepared all the drinks and people had to bring something they cooked (pizzas, "quiches", ...) to eat. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then, we went to the place where we had the meal at to be sure that everything was OK. (I went there on Friday after work to help with the setup of the tables and silverware... (it's right across the street from the High School I work at!). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Anyway, we were waiting for everybody to come in and then we had to welcome them, help them find their seats... Then, when the person in charge of the animation said "Sit down and the service team will bring the plates to you to eat the "entrée"!", then we took all the plates we prepared for the people. Then, we had a buffet so people kept their plates and went to take the main meal. We had to put the stuff on the buffet table and make sure that everybody was happy, had enough wine, water, ...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then we served the cheese (at the buffet table too) and then fruits and, at last, the cake (that Amandine and Nathania made!). The cake was very cool! It was in six parts in the shape of a flower. Bernard had made a support to design the flower pattern... It was great and Anaël &amp;amp; Angélique loved it! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then, we did the dishes and took all the plates, silverware and glasses out! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then, we cleared the tables so that people had room to dance! While people were dancing, we were finishing the dishes and clearing the kitchen. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We left at about 3:30 am feeling very tired and with feet and back hurting!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;But when Anaël &amp;amp; Angélique came in the kitchen to say goodbye, they told me that we did a great job. Angélique even told me it was perfect and better than she expected, so I was glad that they liked what we did. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then, she told me to take one of the big compositions of flowers people took for her. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I was very tired yesterday when I came back, but now I can say that I did a part of the job of a Wedding planner! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you want to go see Anaël &amp;amp; Angélique's Wedding's Website, &lt;a href="http://flickr.com/photos/angelique_anael" target="blank"&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This post illustrates the title of my blog...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It's funny, it has been raining for about two minutes,  one minute ago, and now it smells like rain on concrete, I love that smell... and the air is cooler...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-7198276865256508179?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/7198276865256508179/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=7198276865256508179&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/7198276865256508179'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/7198276865256508179'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2008/06/wedding-planner.html' title='Wedding planner?'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-6635642688850506738</id><published>2008-06-17T16:20:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2009-11-01T03:12:07.376+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Great Week-end... rainy monday!</title><content type='html'>Last week-end was great.

The sun was there and it was not too cold. I'll update the pictures I took with Dan's camera as soon as possible (it means when I'll copy them from his computer to mine!!!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, on sunday I went to church and after church, Morey, Dan &amp;amp; I went climbing in the "Vouillands", next to church! It was great because it was not too hot and not too cold and also it didn't rain!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, yesterday, I went back to work and... it was raining all day! And today is the same! Well, I'm glad it didn't rain on sunday and I don't mind if it rains when I'm working, I like it better when it's raining during the week and sunny during the week-ends! I guess I'm not the only one...&lt;br /&gt;But still, it's June, it's supposed to be hot and sunny, but we have rain! I know I'm complaining now and when it's going to be hot I'll say that it's too hot and I will want rain...

By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible."&lt;br /&gt;It is sad to think that some people doesn't have faith in anything! Or, that's what they say! But still, I cannot see how you can live without believing in something, at least yourself!&lt;br /&gt;I guess that's what they say in Ecclesiastes 3:11 &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;"He has made everything beautiful in its time. &lt;em&gt;He has also set eternity in the hearts of men&lt;/em&gt;; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.&lt;/span&gt; " There is a gap in all the hearts of all the people, and this gap can only be filled by God. You can try to fill it with something else, but, in my opinion, it will fill your gap for a time, and then you won't be satisfied. But if you let God come into your heart, He is going to fill the gap in it once and for all!&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, that was just a thought...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-3705910583721821959?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/3705910583721821959/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=3705910583721821959&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/3705910583721821959'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/3705910583721821959'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2008/05/just-thought.html' title='Just a thought'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-2591584067772171552</id><published>2008-05-20T10:10:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-01T03:27:43.198+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Back to work &amp; bad news (well, not that bad after all!)</title><content type='html'>I'm back to work...&lt;br /&gt;The week-end I had with my family was great!

I can only tell you how it feels to sit in it because I haven't slept in it yet, but I will in about 5 days (when I'll be back from Camp!). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then, we installed the two ceiling fans in the living room and in the kitchen, I'm sure I'll love to have them on when it's going to be very hot... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well, after that, we went to Camp and were invited to eat with the Lindquists tonight, and then we went to bed...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tomorrow, the first members of our family are coming, I really hpe they will like Camp and enjoy it as Edwige (my sister), Nicolas (my cousin) and I do...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I pray that this week-end can be great and that we can have some good times talking and seeing each other...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I'll tell you how it went...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-7171741063199017147?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/7171741063199017147/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=7171741063199017147&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/7171741063199017147'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/7171741063199017147'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2008/05/beginning-of-long-week-end-2-back-to.html' title='Beginning of Long Week-end #2: Back to Camp for the Family Reunion!'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-9052812852062413133</id><published>2008-05-05T20:09:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2009-11-01T04:04:30.585+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Back to work after Long Week-end#1</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;Hey! I'm back at work after my first long week-end of May!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;It was not too bad actually, I was getting a little bored! I didn't really have much to do...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well, I bought all the gifts we're going to give to my cousins next week-end, so I spent about 6 hours (2x3 hours!) shopping for that... The hard part was to find the good ideas, but we did it! Thanks to my spies... (one of my cousin (Laetitia)'s husband and the other cousin (Mickael)'s brother (who is Nicolas for those who read this and know him!!). ..). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well, the week-end looked pretty long, but now it is over, I think it went by quickly... That's how time is...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/Suz6oN7dlJI/AAAAAAAAADY/VppWwLw4Epw/s200/tapis.jpg" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 140px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398965622151156882" /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well, when I was shopping, I saw a carpet at Conforama (a nice shop that is not too expensive...) and I loved it, so I bought it... It was my "Crazy thing of the day"!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So I took a picture of it as you can see on the left...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;But anyway, I love it, it's so comfy and the colors match my future new coach!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Some friends from the Church I went to in Perpignan gave it to my parents and they asked me if I wanted it, so I said "Yes". So my Dad is coming this Thursday and will bring it to me!!! I can't wait to see it for real... He is also going to bring me two ceiling fans (Google translation, I don't know if it is correct...!). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;My apartment is getting better and better and I like it more and more...

He is great, he is really close to the youth and he knows how to get their attention!&lt;br /&gt;This week, the theme is: "Does Love always implies to tell the Truth?".&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday we saw that Jesus is the archetype of both Love and Truth.&lt;br /&gt;Today, we talked about telling the truth to the people you love and if it was always good to tell them the truth. We said that telling the truth or telling a lie both have consequences and that the consequences for lies are always worse than the ones for a truth! We took some examples and I think that we have to tell the truth to the people we love but also to the people we don't really like either! It is hard, but God is here to help us to do it!&lt;br /&gt;That's a great theme and the kids are really getting into it. They ask questions and say what they think.&lt;br /&gt;He has a good interaction with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess they're also having a lot of fun skiing (or snowboarding!). I'm not going because I don't really enjoy skiing, and I'm part of the Service Team, so I clean toilets and showers when people are up at Les 2 Alpes!&lt;br /&gt;But when I see them coming back and talk to them, they look like they had a great time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm glad to be a part of it again, it is really encouraging and I love to see those kids having fun!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-2580864639171490756?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/2580864639171490756/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=2580864639171490756&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/2580864639171490756'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/2580864639171490756'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2008/04/truth-and-love.html' title='Truth and Love'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-3109798416618900613</id><published>2008-04-19T17:49:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-01T03:27:43.239+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Baseball!</title><content type='html'>Hey!&lt;br /&gt;Today was the last full day off before we start the Ski Camp!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had fun with the Lindquist kids (Merrick and Malon only) and the Guffey's (Tom, Rhea and Noah). We played Baseball on the field below Camp.&lt;br /&gt; We were playing by the Camp des Cimes' rules, which is a lot more simple and fun! We were taking turns to the bat and it was the person who had the bat against the other ones!! When you were batting, you had to make it all the way to get a point, you cannot stop at a base!! Malon and Merrick had a lot of points and I also got one! Tom was not batting and Rhea and Noah almost made it but Malon was always after them and tagged them right before they were at the starting base! It was the same for me all the times except when I hit the ball higher and further than usual, that's when I made it, but it was still close and Malon was also after me!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, tonight, I'm going to have a roommate who is coming for he Ski Camp, and tomorrow we will start it!!!

I'm finally back at Camp des Cimes!&lt;br /&gt;It is so great to be back here! It feels like I never left! (I'm staying in the same room as I was in February! And I took the same bed!!!).&lt;br /&gt;I just love this place, it is so quiet... Instead of hearing the cars and scooters in the street below my apartment, all I hear is the river flowing down the hill! It is so different!&lt;br /&gt;I just feel like I'm back home after a long time spent abroad! For those who ever left their home for a long time, I guess you can understand that feeling!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm going to be here for two weeks: during the first one, I'll be helping with the French accounting in the office and also cleaning the Camp (especially the windows!)...&lt;br /&gt;For the second one, there's a group of people coming for an French-American Ski Camp. (we have this camp every year!) It's always a great time! And maybe they'll have some snow...&lt;br /&gt;I'm sure those weeks will pass by so fast and I'm going to wake up one morning and I will have to leave! But, still, I know it's a blessing from God that I have all the vacation times at my job and that I'm able to come here to help!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My wish (or my dream...) would be to stay to work here full time, but maybe, if this is God's plan for me, one day I'll be able to do it...?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-8355098928122912320?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/8355098928122912320/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=8355098928122912320&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/8355098928122912320'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/8355098928122912320'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2008/04/camp-des-cimes.html' title='Camp des Cimes'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-6984123838784353734</id><published>2008-04-11T23:02:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-01T03:27:43.255+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Great evening!</title><content type='html'>Hi again.&lt;br /&gt;I just spent this evening with a friend of mine who is working with me at the school.&lt;br /&gt;She is a teacher and I told her about God a little, so I keep praying for her because I think she really is looking for something!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, after work, we went shopping (even if I don't really like it, but...) and then she asked me if I wanted to go to a restaurant to eat. I asked her if she would like to come and eat at my place and that we may watch a movie and talk. So we ended up having a chocolate fondue (my sister is arriving tomorrow for the week-end and I bought her a chocolate fondue set!) and we watched a movie (a girly movie!!!) and we have a great time!&lt;br /&gt;I know, even if we didn't talk about God and serious stuff, that she appreciated the evening and she told me that she had a great time too. So it made me glad. I hope that next time we can talk more and I pray that God gives me the right words to talk to her.&lt;br /&gt;I invited her to church and she said that she would like to see it, so I hope that she will be able to come soon...&lt;br /&gt;Her name is Dorothée, so if you want to pray for her.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-6984123838784353734?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/6984123838784353734/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=6984123838784353734&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/6984123838784353734'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/6984123838784353734'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2008/04/great-evening.html' title='Great evening!'/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572901097152318134.post-4175554768627499402</id><published>2008-04-10T19:47:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-01T03:27:43.264+02:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Yesterday, I went to a study with the student's group. It was great, as usual, and we spent good times together talking about God and reading the Bible.&lt;br /&gt;Then, at the end, everybody agreed that we should take turns and share what we read during the week. I don't know if I can do it, I'm not really good at it... Every time I tried, all the words that came out of my mouth were not the ones I wanted and it was not what I wanted to say! Anyway, we'll see what happens when the time will come... I just don't feel ready for it right now. Maybe one day...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1572901097152318134-4175554768627499402?l=to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/feeds/4175554768627499402/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1572901097152318134&amp;postID=4175554768627499402&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/4175554768627499402'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1572901097152318134/posts/default/4175554768627499402'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://to-love-is-to-serve.blogspot.com/2008/04/yesterday-i-went-to-study-with-students.html' title=''/><author><name>Candide Weekes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00651561396720280161</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AVlKMj8uUkk/SsQDRsgOrkI/AAAAAAAAAAM/n0c7ZjYBNJw/S220/blog+picture.png'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
