We're on the move!

Now you may be thinking, you guys are always on the move, but this time it's different. We're leaving Basel and moving to Montreux. Yay!

BK has a new position at his company and will now be working in Fribourg, which is about two hours south of Basel by train, so we need to relocate. We chose Montreux because it's about a 30 minute drive from Fribourg, has a much bigger expat community for Kate and I to get involved in, and is closer to Geneva so that I can possibly do some social work.
A new view
Montreux is in the French part of Switzerland on lake Geneva.  It's probably more what you think of when you think of Switzerland- a beautiful lake with the Alps in the background. Hopefully the picture above will be what we wake up to everyday!

Outside of knowing that we'll be moving around the first part of August, we're just starting the process. Although now that we know it's happening, and pretty quickly, my wheels have started turning on all of the stuff I need to get taken care of before or right after we move. Luckily since it's a relocation, we'll have movers who pack up, move, and unpack for us, but there is still a lot outside of that to get done. Not to mention that now I need to figure out how to get it done in French, not German. Hopefully those five years of French in school will finally pay off!

So here I say...Auf Wiedersehen to Basel and Bonjour to Montreux!
