Alex made it to Switzerland :)

He flew out of Phoenix at 8:56am on Saturday morning, had a 2 hour layover in Washington D.C. adn then flew out of D.C. at 6:00pm, and arrived in Zurich Switzerland at 8:25am(on Sunday)., which was 11:25pm(on saturday) here in Flagstaff. So, he pretty much got into Switzerland when he is going to bed here. I talked to him for a little while when he got in and he said he was going to take a shower and then take a nap. Turns out, he took a bath, layed down, and slept just about as much as I did. hahaha. He didn't do much today because he was exhausted and his co-worker was not intown yet. I think he watched some gymnastics, fencing, handball and Back to the Future, haha.
Tomorrow him and Sean (his co-worker), who is from Ireland, will hopefully go scope out Zurich. They can't meet with their client until the afternoon, if at all, so they will have some time to hang out tomorrow. :)
Unfortunately it was cloudyand foggy today so he couldn't see the Alps, hopefully it clears up this week before he leaves!!

As for me, Lastnight after I got off of work, I went shopping for a little bit, got some frozen yogurt, popped some popcorn and watched 2 episodes of Say Yes to the Dress and Rent :) It was a FANTASTIC night! haha.

Today, I watched some more Chick Flicks, Disney Movies, did some homework, Pilates, Took a Bubble Bath, and hung out with my Roomies! I'd say it was a successfully realxing day!

I'm missing Alex A TON, so it is nice to be able to talk to him a little bit and have plenty of stuff to occupy my time!

Speakin of which, I have a mid-term tomorrow, so I should probably get back to studying :( It is discouraging though when I talk to my Nebraska friends who are all on Fall Break, we don't get a fall break :( booo!!! Guess we will just be smarter, huh? :)

Well Hello!!!

These past few weeks have been busy, but extremely fun!

Last week, Alex's parents came to Arizona to check up on their house and meet with people to get it fixed up. Alex and I went down to Anthem on Saturday to do some shopping and to have dinner at Applebee's ( we do not have an Applebee's here, so it was awesome to finally have it )...We headed to their house after that. Alex and I both really liked the house. It will be fun to see all the changes and progress on the house. Sunday we went for a walk to the Clubhouse and then walked the golf course back to their house. It was VERY hot! Alex and I have not been keeping up with our Wednesday, Saturday workouts for him so it was a bit of a struggle :) haha. That afternoon we hung out at the pool for a few hours and then we had to head back to Flagstaff :( I think we got a little too used to the hot weather while we were down there, when we got back and it was 48 degrees, we were shivvering! We both just had 3 day work weeks that week, and then we headed back down to Anthem before we flew to Nebraska.

My dad turned 60 this past Saturday. SO, My sister Rachael, Brother-in-law Dan, Niece Lupita, Alex and I decided to surprise my family by going home for Dad's Birthday. Alex and I flew out of Phoenix Thursday morning and met Rachael in Denver around 3:00pm. From there we had a long trip to Gothenburg to surprise my dad and sister. They were EXTREMELY excited to see us. Ann didn't stop jumping for about 5 minutes and Dad was pretty much speechless. Throughout the day, more and more of my family showed up and were happy to see us. The whole weekend was full of family, friends and fun.

I definitely miss my family already and cannot wait until Christmas when I will get to see them again. These past few weekends have been some of the best weekends since we moved out. It was great to see family and get out of Flag for a little bit.

Back to the grind this week!!! :(

Alex flies out to Switzerland this weekend and will be gone for about a week or so. He doesn't get much down time in the next couple months, so having a long Christmas Vacation will be much needed for him. Tonight he worked until 6 on a machine that they still cannot get working :( Not a very good feeling for him. But, I'm sure he will get it figured out :) They love having him there at MSI to be a problem solver.

I have lots of tests this week and next week, which is not very fun, but I'll make it through :)
