When I wasn’t sure what to do this song came on the radio and I became calm. I knew I had no choice because I had changed too much and America is just too young to understand.

We are headed to Strasbourg, France for a few days. The kids will spend their Easter break with their French grandparents so we can work. The kids are pretty excited. I am happy to see Strasbourg, again.
I took the photos below when we visited Strasbourg during Christmas last year. I really love this city.

Picture taken of the cat next door after I fished her out from under my bed. She used to try to come in our apartment all the time when she was a kitten. She is super friendly and just beautiful. She is most likely a Van Cat. If we ever add another cat to our family I would love to have one like her…Or him???
She is my official Easter Cat! :D
Happy Easter!

…Is taking on a more planned out feel to it than it has ever before. I know where we are headed and it is just a matter of staying the course.
There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth…not going all the way, and not starting.

Sooner or later we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip.

The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination.

We have decided to stay in Switzerland.
We couldn’t use Vilay’s pension as a downpayment to construct a house in France unless we were already living in France. We could wait for my French citizenship to arrive in the mail and move to France. Afterwards, we could build in France.
Yet, I think things happen for a reason.
We have decided to stay in Switzerland.
We will soon have the famous C permit which is for life (as long as you stay in Switzerland) and our current location is pretty much perfect in regard to getting around to other cities. So, we will save up like crazy over the next three years and buy a house or apartment here. In Switzerland. And, that makes us happy.
I worried about the long commute Vilay would have had to make from France to the city he works in. It would have been over an hour. Not to mention the kids. They were really upset about leaving Switzerland. I get that. In their heads, they are more Swiss than French or American. Switzerland is their country. It is who they are and to leave Switzerland scared them.
No matter where life takes us I know that we are blessed to have each other.
That is really all that matters.
Switzerland has been really good to us. We are grateful for the opportunities that we have been given. We are at home here.
