One Year in Zurich!!!

Happy Anniversary to us! We've been living in Switzerland for exactly one year yesterday...and exactly one year in this house today! We stayed in a hotel one night, then all our furniture arrived and we moved into the house.

I forgot about the anniversary yesterday, but just remembered today (at 9pm!).

I've been consumed lately with building our family tree online at ancestry.com - such fun and so interesting! I find it a great user interface, very easy to use and helpful. If you're related to me and you want to see the family tree or help with it, just let me know and I'll invite you to join and you can find out all kind of interesting things (or add stuff I am missing and correct what I've got wrong).

How about in celebration of our relocation anniversary, someone (or several someones) "delurks" by leaving a comment for the first time (or first time in a long time)? That would be lovely. Thanks!

I love Switzerland.
I love learning new languages, even though it's hard and humbling and takes a long time.
I love mountains.
I love flowers.
I love rain and greenery in summer.
I love variable weather.
I love chocolate.

I love my family and especially my husband, who is so long-suffering and patient and generous and wise and self-controlled. And fun and smart. Did I mention handsome? (I just looked over at him and he doesn't know why). He has a special birthday coming up soon...we're planning to go up to the high ropes course on Pilatus mountain in honor of it. And make a Ben & Jerry's recipe Super Fudge Brownie Ice Cream Cake. It should be a good weekend!
