We've started our German lessons (a whole four hours). Needless to say we're not very good...we can count to 100, recite the alphabet, conjugate about 4 verbs, and say a few things like 'My name is Crystal. I wear a blue shirt. It is quarter til 4 in the afternoon. Please turn on the light.'
Kyle is a lot better then I am. I blame it on the 6+ years of Spanish (including a minor in it). My 2 years of high school French only confuses the crap out of me!
In the meantime, me and my new pocket English/German dictionary are BFF.

The Bags Are As Good As Packed!!
I feel like I haven't written in a very long time...mostly because there was nothing to write about. Well, we finally have some news - the date has been set! MARCH!! (Yes, the entire month...) Actually, we don't have an exact date but our 'anticipated move date is sometime in March'.
Again, we have nothing set in stone and I'm convinced that nothing really will be until we get on a plane to move but at least things are moving in the right direction. We've lived the last 3 months of our lives in a holding pattern, afraid to think we were going and afraid to think we weren't, it's finally nice to be able to mentally move in one direction.
It's the little things that have been driving us crazy with this whole move. Our parents wanted to know what was on our Christmas lists - we had to have 2, one for things we needed/wanted if we went to Zurich and one if we didn't. I really need a new winter coat (the one I currently wear I've had for at least 5 years and my mom wore it for a couple before that - Thanks mom!). I can't even buy one because I don't know what the styles are like over there - same thing with clothes (and Kyle really needs some :) )
But, it's worth the wait! It is going to be an amazing experience and I can't wait to get it started!
