A few things I'm looking forward to..

upon our move to Switzerland

  1. Trains. I kind of love figuring out time tables, reading a good book while whisking through the countryside, and enjoying a cappuccino in-between departures.. there's just something so very romantic about it. 
  2. My name being pronounced correctly for the first time in my life. It's Lay-nuh.. did you know that? Anyway, those who speak German pronounce an e like we pronounce an a. My name and the way it's spelled has been the cause of great confusion for as long as I can remember. Not anymore.. happy dance
  3. Chocolate. So much chocolate. I'm not even sure if this needs to be explained but I have this thing for dark chocolate. That thing and me are about to get a lot more serious.
  4. Glorious snow. I think that little white stuff is so absolutely magical (I've only had to shovel it a handful of times, so this sentiment is subject to change). But really, with snow comes skiing and I'm embarrassingly excited for that joyous activity on a regular basis.
  5. The milk. I'm not even sure if I can explain how good the milk in Switzerland really is (each of you are just going to have to come visit for a milk tasting adventure). My mouth is watering just at the thought of it.
  6. Bakeries. Warm, homemade chocolate croissants. Nothing more needs to be said here..
  7. The Swiss Alps. My soul finds ultimate joy amidst big snowy mountains. I can hardly imagine what living near them will be like. If I'm really being honest with you, I think there will be a lot of swooning going on. I know, swoon.. I said it. But seriously, I'm pretty sure that it's going to happen.
  8. Exploring Europe with my best friend. Pinch me. Really.
