Life is a Series of "Hello's" and "Goodbyes"



Wow.. a lot has happened in the last few days. We have officially moved out of our home (April 1) - a bitter sweet feeling! Thrilled that the house rented so quickly - sad to close the door to two and a half years of wonderful memories. After a day filled with packing our remaining belongings for storage, intense cleaning (thanks Mom!) and extreme exhaustion, we moved into our temporary housing until we depart for CH on the 10th.

Our temporary home in Eagleville.

We have come to realize that life is a series of "Hello's and Goodbyes." Throughout this process, we have met some wonderful people - Herr Carllson, our German teacher, all of our movers, we have become quite friendly with all of the H.R. people at work, and too many others to mention. So as we begin this new chapter in our lives, we realize we must temporarily say good-bye to family and friends (this is truly the hardest part!) - but we do hope to say, "hello" as you make your way over to our place in Switzerland.

We are on the official countdown now...only 4 more days.

Thanks for the support everyone!

How very well put - life is most definiely a series of "Hellos" and "Goodbyes". Hopefully we'll be saying Hello to you at your new place sometime soon. Wait...what's that knock at your door...psych! Hopefully you are settling in and your journey over there was not the adventure you experienced getting there for house-hunting. We love you and miss you both - Mary, John & Katie
