I'll go back someday...

Somewhere I kinda wish I could be right now...





I remember this day. Austin and I had been walking for what seemed like a lifetime through Paris. We got lost, walked in circles and even got distracted by some guy at Le Sacre Coeur with his floating, glass balls. We were determined to find it. Oh, and when we did...I remember tears came to my eyes (yes, real ones) and it hit me that one of my dreams had come true.
When I was younger I made a bucket list, and seeing the Eiffel Tower was on my list. So, there it was towering above us. All we could do was drink it in. To be honest, the tower is nothing pretty and sparkly (unless it's night time) but just the thought of a man who had an idea, who convinced the people of France to believe in his idea, and who succeeded in bringing his idea to life was awesome. I was so happy to be a part of it.

It's encouraging and exciting to meet goals. So I'll set another; someday, I WILL go back to the place that captured my heart and fascinated my mind.
