Getting Ready

Wow, I haven't blogged here in a little bit, so I guess as I have a little free time on my hands I will. As most of you know I am moving to Switzerland in Sept. for a whole YEAR! Crazy stuff. I never thought that I would actually be living in Europe, and a year for that matter, but here I am going with the flow. Ever since I had the feeling to put my name on the Aupair website, everything has fallen into place, continuously. First, my family contacted me the very next day and we got that put together very quick. My dad offered to pay for the ticket over to Europe and is also paying money to fix my car so I can sell it, and letting ME keep the money. Amazing. My mom is even cool with the idea...but I can't lie and say she was the whole time. At first she seemed really upset, but as I explained more about the family, etc, she is now excited for me. I am looking for someone to rent my apartment for a year, and hopefully I can get by with this and be able to move back in here next year. It is going to be a tough call as I am going to have to call my landlord soon to tell him the news and see what he thinks. Also, like I mentioned we are selling my car. It's a 2001 Ford Focus ZX3 and I am hoping to sell it for $5500 but we will see how that goes. It isn't in PERFECT condition, it has some scratches on the bumper from the previous owner, but everything else should be in tip top shape! One thing however that I am EXTREMELY nervous about is my cat, Bella. She is AMAZING...the best cat I ever had and I have to give her away and hopefully to someone I know for a year that will let me have her back when I get back. So far both parents are not allowed to have cats, and I have posted a ad on facebook, so I really hope to find her a good home soon.
As for other things, I really should just chill out. Like I said everything is falling into place and I really have to go with the flow. I was given a blessing the other day and I really get the feeling I will be doing some missionary work there in Switzerland..we will see. :0) I think this is my "unofficial" mission.
Anyway, lots of stuff going on...just trying to make sure everything falls into place.
