Honey, we're going to Switzerland!

YES! We have finally obtained our entry visas to get into Switzerland!

Once we get there we have to go to the 'Foreign police,' as the lady at the Swiss embassy called them, to get the work visa/spouse visa. For our entry visas, we had to bring the paperwork from the lady in Switzerland, fill out another application at the Swiss embassy, get another passport photo, pay an application fee, and bring a copy of our marriage license. Wonder what we'll need in Switzerland...

Now we have to get to work sorting and packing all our worldly possessions. We have decided to distribute as much of our furniture and appliances as our friends will take, and pack up our books and artwork, and some kitchen stuff, to store. The items we are packing to store, we will be making item level inventories for each box, in case we ever want to ship them to Europe. Though from what some people have said, the shippers may need to re-pack everything anyway, as they need to be able to certify the contents of the boxes they are moving. We'll worry about that if that time ever comes! For now, we'll be hard at work paring our life down to the essentials.
