I WILL do this

Don't ask me how many times I've watched this, you don't want to know.
Maybe its because I secretly wish my life was a musical...but
I LOVE THIS.

I cannot wait for my wedding music video.

I Love

These people.
They are Max and Suoma Lieber, and this picture says it all.
We are somehow related, distantly.
They are pretty much my surrogate grandparents out here, and come to my rescue when I need it most.
They have taken me out to dinner more than once, Max brought me fresh strawberries at work, and they sit by me in church.
Last time we were at dinner I asked how they met, and this is their story:

Max: We met in London. I was from Switzerland and she was from Finland.
I was not a member yet, and she had been for a couple years.
I went to a night where the organ was played at the church, and was told about a single's dance that would be going on next week.
I went, and Suoma and I were the only ones who did not have a dance partner, so they said,
"You can dance with each other!"
Suoma: And we've been dancing ever since!
Max: And then three weeks later when she dropped me off at the train station, I said,
"I'm going to marry you, you know."
She said, "You're crazy!"

(They both laugh.)

They are the greatest.

Facebook Knows What's Up

Yes, its true, sometimes I take Facebook quizzes.
Only the good ones.

Sara completed the quiz "What U.S. state do you belong in?" with the result Hawaii.
You truly see the world as your oyster. Life, to you, is one big playground. Money means very little to you.. Uncle Sam, who? And as far as you are concerned, beyond sand, surf, and sun, there's nothing more in the world you could ask for. You are most at ease and comfortable when your hair is wet, your toes are sandy, and your drink is cold. Friends and family mean a lot to you, but that doesn't mean you have to spend every waking hour together; sometimes you find comfort in solitude. And plus, absence makes the heart grow fonder. You will, however, find that one person that really completely you.. and once you do, you'll never want to live a day without them..
Me to a T.
I'll make it there someday. Don't be worried...
I'm not.

Zurich Adventures

Train Station
Some clowns from a flower shop gave us roses...yes, clowns.
Climbing to the top of a sweet church...
To check out this view
They had these s.w.e.e.t. pots for the trees along the road that was some sort of art project that I of course, was obsessed with.
Walking around Zurich
Things that I sadly did not get a picture of:
-The Gay Pride festivities that were going on
-The inside of the churches and the amazing stained glass windows (cameras not allowed)
-The inside of the art museum because a lewd, crude and decidedly RUDE dude came up to me (after passing about five other museum workers) and told me that my bag was too big. The best way I can describe it was that this grown man was about to throw a hissy fit, yes, that's what I said. So I had to check it in, because I don't know, I could be hiding a bomb in there, or make off with a sculpture or something?
All in all, a great day.

one of bEsT and most [{interesting]} things

in this W.O.R.L.D is instant happiness. You know what I´m talking about. When something,

Anything.

Happens, and instantly makes you happier, brightens your day, makes you pause and leaves you smiling.
This little gem came to me during the office doldrums. I was laughing out loud, and am now going to watch it for the third time.

(r)(a)(i)(n)

The reason for the green finally came, on my eleventh day here. And when it rains it POURS! I arrived at the grocery store about 2 seconds before the downpour started...

Angry skies
I knew it was bad when all the Swiss people who supposedly experience this all the time were staring, open mouthed at the sky...
Waiting for the bus...slightly wet.
Finally home! (With my celery)
I survived my first doozy of a rainstorm here...
and let me tell you it smells
l.u.s.c.i.o.u.s.
