{moving to Paris}

At the end of this week we leave for the annual ski trip with Chris' grad school (you might remember seeing photos from last year's theme-filled trip here, here or here) and after that we head straight to LA/Orange County for Christmas............ but right before New Years Eve we hop on a flight and will be heading TO PARIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even as I write that it doesn't quite feel real.  In the past year and half since moving to Chicago, we have gotten some amazing opportunities and had some once in a lifetime experiences, but this one truly takes the cake.  Chris will be taking the winter quarter to study abroad at a business school in France and so we will be living in Paris for 3 full months!  We found an adorable (aka tiny) apartment right in the middle of the 7th arrondissement using Airbnb. 

I will definitely still be blogging in the time that we are living there, although the content will be slightly different as you might expect.  I really pride myself on trying to create original content for the majority of the posts here and those generally center around our home decor and entertaining so while those kind of posts will be much fewer I still have plenty of fun posts planned for our time there. 

Right now the biggest priority in my life is trying to stuff as much of my closet as I physically can into only two suitcases.  I have been pinning interesting activities to this pinterest board as well as eliciting "must-do" lists from some of our friends who have travelled in France or even lived there.  

Do you have any favorite lesser known places that I must visit/try/see?!?! Pretty please leave any and all suggestions for us in the comments!
