pics of our hotel and the view in Lucerne

Switzerland!

Bonjour! We are in Switzerland, the flight went well. Addie has been flying for most of her life, she is a total pro. Last night we stayed in Lucerne, which is about an hour out of Zurich. They speak swiss german, so ryan was a great translator. We rented a car and drove to Lucerne and stayed in a Swiss Chalet, with a bathroom (water closet) that was shared with the entire floor. It was very european type hotel. I felt like a very adventuorus girl. Online it was said to be a 4 star hotel, our room was maybe 2 stars but the breakfast buffet this morning was the redeeming moment. Besides smelling old and musty, we loved our view of the lake and the gorgeous mountains. I also discovered Nutella this morning. It was the most amazing moment of my life.

We then drove from Lucerne to Geneva and dropped off the rental car. We arrived at our hotel the grand pre, its a great hotel. And we are just down the street from a market and a boulangerie and patissire. I am excited to try the breakfast buffet tomorrow. I also have a lunch card to eat at the University. Tomorrow i need to try inderstanding the bus schedule so that i can get myself to the mall! H & M here I come!

I had the best vegetable samosas tonight at a little turkish restraunt! They were so cute with Addison, everyone kept bringing her treats and bags of french fries. She has learned to say Merci and Au revoir. Its about the cutest thing i have ever heard


Pictures soon.

Alaska!

Moving, Hunter's Wedding and getting ready for Alaska!

I realized i hadn't done a real update on our fam in a while so i uploaded pictures and tried to remember what has been keeping us so busy.

We moved out of our old apartment and are currently subletting from the Gochnours. We didn't want to move into a new apartment and have to pay for it while we are living in Switzerland and the Gochnours were leaving for the summer so it worked perfectly once our contract ended we moved in and just have kept almost everything we own in boxes. Orginally our plan was to move into storage, so this is much easier for us. We are trying to move into the complex that a lot of our friends live in. We are so sick of living in an apartment and a town home with a backyard sounds fantastic.

Addie and I also drove to DC to see Hunter, my cousin get married to a really cute girl. We love being there and sharing this experience with them. Her dress was gorgeous! We are so excited for Hunter and can't believe that he is married. It means we are all growing up. And I can't wait to get to know Aubrey better, she seems like such an awesome person.


I have so many pics that i will just do a Pic Post... So that brings us to today and today Addie is still trying to get better and the fever is gone but last night she threw up but seems much better today. Next Friday we fly to SLC to meet up with the fam and see Gram and Gramps Hendry and then we fly to seattle with the Spiers side to leave on our Alaskan cruise!!!!

We are so excited and i am frantically doing laundry and trying to prepare to be gone for a week and half!

Happy 27th to the greatest guy i know!

Today is Ryan's 27th birthday.
You are the greatest.
Happy birthday Ry
i love you a million trillion.
You are my bffaeae. haha

Hey Good Lookin' Whatcha Got Cookin'?

So as most of you know Megan is fairly vegetarian. (fairly in that she does occasionally eat meat if she feels she needs it and she is also fair to Addie and I in allowing meat in the house) Ryan, however, is not vegetarian, but as the kind, loving husband that he is (aren't I though?) he cooks almost exclusively vegetarian at home. We love food and Ryan loves to experiment in the kitchen, so everyone wins. Many of you may be wondering: What does Ryan eat when Megan is out of town? Fear not, I intend to indulge your curiosity by divulging what I am eating right now!

Wait, not yet. First, normally when Megan is gone Ryan eats this from his favorite local Chinese restaurant:

Dry tofu with shredded pork; only available by request from the special authentic Chinese menu they only cook three days a week. Delicious!

However, seeing as how the loan period has come to a close and the budget has tightened, I opted instead for something more traditional. In order to get full from a fast food restaurant I would end up spending at least $5, so rather than waste $5 on burgers, I went to Costco and bought a Rotisserie Chicken.

So what does Ryan eat when Megan leaves? An entire chicken.
