Ramping up to move has been crazy. We packed up pretty easily and the movers came and went without incident. Then we cleaned our rears off and ran errands. We had a number of people come to our place to help us move out all our possessions. It was sad to see our things get purchased for pennies or be thrown out. Bummer!  But after all the Swiss Standard Cleaning and unregistering with immigration and checking off our long list of to-do items we managed to close up the doors, lock them behind us and say goodbye to our home of 2 1/2 years in Switzerland.

We stayed with the Schwendeners and then the Mascaros for awhile before our flights. We went down to the Jacksons’ and enjoyed their company on Saturday. Dani and I sang in Sacrament meeting. I completely fell apart after we finished. Mascaros threw us a great going away party with the Schwendeners, Baumanns and Sannemans after church on Sunday. Chad, Eden and I went to Jenna’s for a last “Thursday.” We crashed on her couch. It was wonderful. Things were pretty busy right up until our flights Wednesday morning.

We had a long day of traveling–almost 24 hours from door to door. Besides me getting motion sick the first leg, the rest of the trip went well. Eden did great. Unfortunately our fabulous BOB stroller was lost in transit. Who knows if we’ll ever see it again!

Going through passport control leaving Switzerland and then customs in the Atlanta airport made me get all emotional. It is sad to leave behind such a wonderful life we have had the last few years, but we are happy to be home.
