Il Neige!

Yesterday Mere stopped by on her way to meet the others. I was in part two of my chicken soup-ing, and had to wait til it finished. But as she left, she stood, shocked, in my doorway. I looked out and sure enough-- snow! Just some flurries, and it didn't stick, but still, it was the first time I actually saw snow in Troyes (although heard it had snowed a couple other times). So yay, I did get to see my snowfall. But it is supposed to start getting warmer, which makes me happier.

JESS GETS HERE IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS!!! I am praying he can catch the 9:40 train and be in Troyes by 11:15. But he would only have an hour & twenty minutes to land, get his bags, get the RER into Paris, get the metro to Gare de L'est and make his train. I'm not holding my breath :( What is more likely is that he will have to wait & catch the noon train, getting into Troyes at 1:30. It would kill me to know he is sitting in Paris while I am waiting anxiously in Troyes, but think I will have to forgo the temptation of buying a 22E roundtrip ticket to just go up & come right back (even if it does mean sitting on a train snuggled with my honey). I am just so excited to finally see him-- it'll have been exactly 2 months since he last visited. And then, the final stretch... the next time I see him will be at San Francisco airport. :)

So everyone, keep your fingers crossed, pray to the transportation gods, whatever you can think of that may influence fate to enable Jess to catch that early train! :D
