You’re so lucky. My family’s from France… six generations ago. I took one year of French in seventh grade and the next school system I went to didn’t have it for 8th graders so it fell by the wayside. My grandparents speak/spoke fluent Cajun but the number of fluent speakers is dying out fast. And I have no marketable skill to take me over there. Le sigh.

If you ever hang out in Haute-Garonne, I think it is, there’s a commune called Seilhan in that area, and that’s what my family’s named after. Got a very, very distant relative who’s mayor there. There’s also a house named after another very distant relative in Toulouse.

@Revanche,

Yup: him. He's going to be my next husband… well him and Mark Darcy!

If you’re talking about the Josh Lyman I think you’re talking about, that’s fantastic! It seems amazing to me that there are so few out there who fully appreciate his charm.

@Marta,

Whenever I comment it’s either as Kelly or Kelly from Almost Frugal. Occasionally it’s as kllycat, but very rarely. I love the Sew, Mama blog- it’s a lot of fun, but intimidating at times with its greatness!

As always, am loving your blog.
I, too, was an exchange student in France, but my love was on this side of the pond, so I just get to visit.
Are you Killycat on Moxie as well? I’ll look for your comments if you are.
Also, with all of your fab home-made ideas, have you checked out the sew mama sew blog? Some great ideas there I think you would really love.
Have a great weekend.
Marta

What a great post and I just finished reading your guest post on Blog Coach this morning which was equally wonderful. I get so mad when I read though that bloggers are making such little money though- you deserve so much more for putting your heart & soul out there like that. I will step off my soap box, I just wanted you to know you are doing a wonderful job! Amy´s last blog post..Great Budget-Friendly Gifts for Men

Kelly,

It is so great to learn some of these little tidbits about your life! I am such a sucker for a romantic story and I just LOVE your romantic-love-at-first-sight story. I definitely believe you just know when it’s right! On the third day I knew SLB I found myself thinking “I could have children with him and marry him.” Some might say that thought process was backwards (kids then marriage) but it’s exactly how things ended up working out a few years later!
