Moving to Switzerland

Phew! that was crazy

April 16, 2008

let me begin by letting out a HUGE sigh! I’m so glad that today is almost over..well actually there are a few more hours left. EEK! This morning we woke up in our new apartment in Thoiry. It was pretty good. The bed wasn’t horrible and it’s very quiet. The only complaint was that it [...]

Yesterday we did a final clean and had some professional carpet cleaners come in and wash the carpets. Our landlady came and inspected our place and was happy with how everything looked. We returned our keys, [...]

Get your clean on!

March 9, 2008

Our place is starting to take on the appearance of one that is soon to be abandoned by us. We took a bunch of stuff to the dump finally, and a carload of stuff to the Salvation Army! Our living room now has only toys, boxes to be shipped, and the basic furniture. Oh there [...]

This weekend was a big one in our world of moving! We packed a truck full of our most valuable stuff and brought it over to Vancouver to be stored while we’re away. There is now hardly anything left in our place that is going to be kept by us and it feels great! Of [...]

The eagle has landed

February 23, 2008

We finally have a place to live in Geneva. It’s a lovely one bedroom apartment in Geneva! It’s owned by CERN and is only a temporary residence until we find somewhere bigger/cheaper/better. Our official move in date is March 26th! Last night Daniel also booked our flight over to Switzerland. We’re leaving on March 25th [...]
