We already had our first house guests, Rebecca and Kathleen who drove all the way from Holland! Rebecca is an old friend from Lexington and I just met her friend Kathleen.. they arrived at about midnight on Friday night.. Wes left early Saturday morning to make the long 7 1/2 hour roadtrip to a tournament so it was just us girls.. While they went sightseeing for a few hours around Le Havre I decided to go to Ikea since we had no plates/silverware or even bedsheets... We all met back up and walked to the center where we found an amazing Fondue restaurant, I'd never had fondue before and I was super impressed! It was SO good! After that we walked to an Irish pub close by and had a blast talking & drinking with the locals.. after a few more drinks we got a cab back home around 2am.. fun night! So today the girls took off back to Holland so it's just me until Wes gets back tonight.. Here's the downer, today I got in a heated argument with a woman that lives an apartment building away from us.. as I was walking the dogs back to our building she was watching me from her balcony.. She started telling me, in french of course to get my dogs off the grass.. Normally I would try to avoid her and play the "I don't speak french" card but the little pistol in me opened my mouth and told her to find something better to do.. that apparently upset her because she darted back inside and was down standing in front of me within 30 seconds.. I proceeded to let my "pistol" side (as Wes calls it) take over.. I decided to let the dogs off the leashes right in front of her, where they made a beeline to the grass.. Now she's super mad and yelling louder and louder, speaking faster and faster... I told her she couldn't tell me what to do, laughed in her face and walked away.. I went back up to my apartment and looked out the window to see her venting to another woman, who i'm guessing is the apartment manager, judging by all the keys she had on her keyring.. ?? So i might be in trouble, but REALLY is it so bad to let my dogs on the grass.. I pick up after them and they aren't hurting anything so it's annoying to me when some people have nothing better to do with their time than patrol what everyone else is doing.. Ohhhhk, I'm done venting now..lol! So that's the not so good stuff I had to write about... Wes is going to be impressed when he gets home to find out i'm already fueding with the neighbors.. haha.
Now I'm going to head back home and finish putting our place together with all my fun stuff from Ikea :) Can't wait! Maybe it will take my mind off of being homesick for a little while.. It's hard not to get homesick when you're all of the sudden by yourself AND you have to read everyone's posts on how fun the first HUSKER game was!!!! So jealous! Although my parents are awesome and recorded the game on our dvr so once we have internet we can watch it via slingbox! Even if we know the outcome it will still be fun to watch :) Hope everyone had a great weekend! Cross your fingers for us that we get internet soon..I'm sure the McDonalds employees are sick of seeing my mug around here! ;)

Would she rather u let the dogs poop on her sidewalk? Try that next time!
French people are not always good!! Don't worry, it's normal if she has nothing to do. You have to speak english with her.
