finally here!






I arrived in Geneva yesterday morning at about 7:15 Geneva time. I think I slept a good amount on the plane, because it didn't seem that long, and I was able to stay awake all of yesterday...well, I admit, I might have dozed off a little while we were watching Beauty and The Beast.

I am all unpacked and I have my books lining my dresser and my desk, a picture I brought from home on my bedside table, and an angel figuring Lauren gave me for my birthday next to my jewelry box on my dresser. I am hoping to get a picture for my wall and a colorful bedspread to add color, because the walls and duvet are neutral tones- a blank canvas of a room, if you will. My window has a nice few of the town and mountains...as you will see in these pictures.









After Mia got home from school, we walked around the town (pretty much 2 streets) a little bit. Then had a snack, played, dinner, and Beauty and The Beast...and finally some much needed sleep.

I keep looking around and thinking to myself "this is my life now," "this is where I live." It is an odd feeling, and I look forward to the day when I won't have to remind myself that this isn't just a vacation. I look forward to getting into a routine, getting used to the roads and the grocery stores and speaking French. I look forward to going to church and making friends and really sinking my roots in. Here's to that day!
