This morning I woke up to the sound of birds chirping and sun shining in my window! I kid you not. This is quite a change coming from New York City where our apartment only had two very small windows and I don’t think I saw a single bird from the windows our 3 years in the apartment.

Our flat is not nearly complete but it is definitely starting to feel like home. It’s amazing what fresh flowers, even if they are in a measuring cup instead of a vase, can do for the heart! 

  

This morning I learned first hand just how small Geneva can feel sometimes as I ended up at the bus stop with two co-workers! The commute to work took about 25 minutes which wasn’t bad at all and includes a nice quarter mile walk. I’m sure there are times when I wish that walk wasn’t included especially when it is raining or snowing but for now it is very refreshing!

Before leaving for the bus this morning I asked Bo to take a picture. This makes me smile so much as it reminds me of those first day of school pictures my mom used to take of me and my brother, Ryan, each year!

Depending on what time I get home this evening I will do my best to give you all a proper update with more pictures and details surrounding our weekend!

Fresh flowers? If you could have fresh flowers in your home everyday what flower would you choose? I love peonies and zinnias!
