I Survived.

I'm back from Paris.

It was a lot of work but definitely worth it. I can certainly get used to 5 star hotels, international travel, and fabulous food. But thats not why I went....

Those of you that know me (hopefully all of you), know that I hate public speaking. In fact, I become paralyzed even amongst small crowds. I had the opportunity to overcome that fear this last week by pitching our foundation and asking a very large crowd of people for money. This could have gone terribly wrong....but it didnt. Why? There is only one explanation--help from Above, for which I am extremely grateful.

Here are a few pictures from the trip:

Yours truly hard at work...

The reason I suspect my blood glucose test will come back 'dangerously high' in a few days...

Competing to be as large as Notre Dame and winning...

The Opera House, by far the most incredible place I've ever seen...



Continued...

Napoleon's tomb....which holds a special place in my heart, due to Napoleon's primary role in bringing Bichon's back into the royal circle...



That's pretty much it. Now back to work in good old Utah, with my cute little family to come home to every night. I much prefer them.

Let me strongly advise against international travel after 6 months of pregnancy.... I felt like Martin Short in Pure Luck sitting through church yesterday :)
