Paris, the night train

Mom and I were so blessed to have caught that night train! We were so excited about it. We get onto the train and find we have a cabinmate already. He was about 25 6 foot 5 and his name was charles. He was really nice and we chated for awhile, honestly it was really nice to have him be on the train with us already because just as we were all dozing off to sleep the train stopped to let on other passengers and two men made thier way into our cabin, they were rather loud. I agree with mom when she said that it was a good thing charles was there because we talked to him already and his presence was comforting with these two strangers. Anyways our trip was smooth after that. Mom slept well she woke up only once to my 5 or 6 times. I dont know why, but I was a little restless. I guess I was nervous about our safety still. We woke up coming into paris, said good-bye to charles, and wished him well with his ex-girlfriend adventures and things, and walked off the train all in all, it was a really good experiance. Very educational, and I guess it was pretty fun. Well thats all for now, I will write again soon!
Love,
The World Travellers

It sounds like you've had some great adventures already! Wow. Everyone I tell about you two being in Europe is so jealous and excited for you. I must say my life hasn't been quite so exciting as night trains, bruises and european hotels but I got to go to the dentist! haha! It was great. They said I was a good brusher and I needed to floss more (but who doesn't besides mom ;D) and they didn't even need to scrape my teeth because I had nothing to scrape! I was excited. It's amazing what brushing morning and night can do for your dental experiences. I know... EXCITING! haha. And I'm becoming a pro at donating plasma. We went today and we are going again on Wednesday. But whatever must be done to make a few dollars for vacation!
We also found out that Joel qualifies for the SMART grant so we are getting $2000 more in scholarships per semester. Which we couldn't possibly need more than now after paying out of pocket to attend summer semester. Our anniversary is next sunday which is awesome but crazy that we've been married a year because it feels like notime and forever at the same time. It's wierd to think back on last fall because it seems so long ago. But it has been great just so you know and feel involved ;D. We are excited to see you both on the 20th and we expect to hear some of the stories not present here. It will be a fun car ride where you don't have to rush to trains because you'll be on a private taxi! Haha! hope you are having a blast!

This is what archaeology looks like. Most of the time you bend over into a big hole and scrape away at the dirt for hours at a time

This picture is from last summer in St. George. Sometimes we loose our minds in the sun and think we are pirates for awhile, I myself went through multiple-personality disorder. I thought I was a pirate, tinkerbell, an indian and we had fights with Russian cosmonauts. Yeah, I lost my mind.
