< 1 Day Til Summer In The USA >

That is one HUGE yellow circle, but I think I will keep it.

Tomorrow, Wednesday is our last full day in Switzerland! Just one day folks, ONE. Everything went well with Jachen's VISA interview on Monday and then today we picked up his paperwork that we give to the border control at the Seattle airport{they will give him the official yes you may come in to live in America}. Can't wait.

Tomorrow we are busy with last minute randomness and then we're off! Goodbye Switzerland, hello America!

< 27 Days Til Summer In The USA >

New countdown folks, I need to have a countdown so it feels official in my brain, you know what I mean? Since our date for Jachen's interview has changed from what we had hoped, we now have 27 days until our new flight outta here! {at least this better be the final date, you never know with the Visa process. But we are very optimistic it will all work out this time}We move out of our apartment June 29th, so soon, and will bunk with Jachen's dad for two weeks. We are thrilled and nervous that we have so little time left.

We still haven't heard back from the NVC on when Jachen's interview date is...but we have faith it will all work out and that we can still leave on July 2nd. I'm not letting myself stress out about it. Hopefully, we will find out by the end of this month!

We are out of the 40's folks! That's good news, big time. This month is seriousssly going by sooo slow though. Is it going by slow for you too?

I am dying to try Drew Barrymore's makeup line, especially her lipstick. She is adorbs and I have heard good things about it. Also, I am pretty sure I NEEED that tote bag, I love love how huge it is.

Some goodies for beach day. Don't we love beach day?!

Camping! Hopefully Jachen and I can do some camping this summer with my family and hopefully we can start our own collection of gear {probably not this summer though?}.

Some camping gear I am drooling over right now that I would like to snatch up.

< 54 Days til Summer In The USA >

I want to start a Summer countdown to July 2nd...the day we plan to fly out of Switzerland and make our way to the States. We are itching to get there, you have no idea. Jachen and I wanted to make a paper chain countdown, but we have no staples!...and we can't find staples here to fit. SOO to cure my need for a countdown, my blog will be my source. 54 days left sure does sound like a lot, but when you say less than two months, that sounds quick!

Ohhh sweet summer. //art by Amy Walters
