It has been a while. Unfortunately, I have 2 midterms today so this post will be brief and in bullet form.
Since October 2...
- Lane, Lauren, Reed and Russell came from Madrid for a visit! It was so refreshing see some new faces! Y'all want to come back? Tomorrow maybe?
- Gave a group presentation in French and mistakenly prepared 2/3 of the recipes for our French dinner. Oops!
- Scanned for about 15 hours at work. Do I hold a new record?
- The invasion is tomorrow. Yep, Mom and Dad come! Yay!
- 2 Midterms, 1 paper due this week. "Ain't no thing..."
- Ate at McDonald's, again. I totally hate McDonald's and have not been there since 5th grade but for some reason, nothing tastes better than McDonald's fries and a McFlurry!
- Evelyn made the best potato soup for a dinner party the other night! SO good.
- Found a Dr. Pepper at a market at the and of my street!
- Discovered a new park, Louise Park, and it is beautiful. Alayna, Austin, and I spent Sunday afternoon there (along with everyone else in Brussels).
- We had the best weather of my 8 weeks in Brussels this past weekend (low 70's and sunny).
- Missed my train coming home yesterday. Boo. No chasing involved, I just missed it by 5 minutes.
- Convinced Gary (Bar tender/Protector of the TV at Fat Boys) to put the UT game on the big screen after the rugby game. By the way, both underdogs, UT and France won!
- The leaves are changing here, a perfect excuse for me and Austin to spend the whole afternoon in the park. And that is just what we have done!
- Trading Spaces: Alayna and Austin move in my building on Monday!
- Found my new favorite restaurant. Come to Brussels and I will take you there! They have the best pain (bread) and spreads.
- Listened to a repair man sing outside my door as I type this post.
More to come, I promise!

You demolished my scanning record at Quickway...ouch.
Dr. Pepper is a gift from God, and so are McFlurry's. Everyone here says when I come back from China, all I will want is a hamburger. Oh the things that remind us of home.
Get ready...European Vacation with the Griswolds,er, Prevosts.
Good afternoon!
Have the Griswolds made it? If you don't get the hugs and wishes from the Benefields via tall guy, aka Billy, let us know and we'll have Carlos swing by.
Have you been working on your tennis game, you know, mirroring the strokes, continental grip, eastern grip?
Keep on scannin'
Shalom & Bracha,
Hey Katie--Hope your mom & dad arrived safely. Have a great visit w/them!! I enjoy reading your blog! Love and prayers, Miss Rhonda
