This week is a year since my permanent arrival to Switzerland, I can barely believe it's been a year already... they say, time flies when you are having fun... well it hasn't always been fun but it's definitely been a year to remember!
The first half of the year was difficult... it was cold, very cold and grey, i also had the stress of organising our wedding and adjusting to living in a new country whose native language is not English and where foreigners aren't exactly welcomed with open arms (i was even attacked by a little old lady in the supermarket... probably my lowest point)! But summer arrived and things just got better from there... I had made some awesome friends i met through afternoon drinks and the sun was shining, how could things not get better! :)
Now, things are pretty good even though winter is back and so is the cold, very cold and grey! The main reason for the change is the fact that i have a job now... thanks to my fabulous friend Paula who hooked me up with the job, i am now a teacher at a preschool for English speaking kiddies, McTots and i'm loving it! :) It's a great feeling to be able to earn my own money and contribute to the household finances, it also gives me something to do during the day, not sure i'm cut out to be a stay at home housewife... all is good in the world again :)
So here is to another good year of cheese, chocolate, skiing and wine in Switzerland... I've already had my residency permit extended for another year, so there is nothing stopping me now :)
