Life Between January, 2014 to January 2015

It's been almost 2 years that I haven't written anything on this blog.  My friend Michelle has been encouraging me to start writing my life here in Paris on my blog, and here I am, writing about my life.  Before I start talking about my life in Paris, maybe I should at least talk a little bit of what I've been doing since my last post.
