One week ago (Sept 17th exactly) Kyle informed me that he was given the opportunity to possibly go to Zürich, Switzerland for a two year rotation. At first I thought he was crazy, or lying. He brought it up during my end of tax season party and I had been drinking since lunch...yes mom, I was responsible - one drink an hour, I just happened to have been drinking for about 12 hours at that point.
From my understanding, 'given the opportunity to possibly go to Zürich' means that his bosses really like Kyle and want to train him at Swiss Re's world headquarters but wanted to see if Kyle would even be interested in going before they started working on actually getting him (and his beautiful wife) over there.
Needless to say, I have a new obsession. What's it like? How is it different from the US? Where is it on a map? How much do they hate Americans? What am I going to do if we get to go? Do the sell Jif reduced-fat peanut butter over there? All the very important questions.
Right now no one knows that this opportunity has been offered to us - I mean him - and even fewer people know that I have set up a blog to record our adventures.
I've already started doing some preliminary planning - well, more planning to start planning (can you tell I'm an accountant?)
I'm hoping to use this as a catch all for our time across the pond. I created this just as much for me to use like a journal as I did for our friends and family to keep track of us.
I can't promise I'll be P.C. all the time -we are stupid American's from the Midwest - but I do promise this will be a ride for everyone!
