what a week..

My boyfriend's friend from Versailles came to visit on Saturday. Coming from such a big city and well, coming from FRANCE, one might worry he got a little bored in our sleepy little town albeit one of the best kept secrets of the midwest. We kept him pretty busy.. even created a page for him on a single's website to see if he could get a date. Here's how his week played out:
