The First Montagnola Snow
This is a view from my apartment of the crazy amount (for this part of Switzerland) of snow. Unfortunately, no snow day at school--I just realized that I miss VA for that reason right now. Who doesn't love a good snow day?!
Raclette at the HoJo
Okay, so Mike and Erica planned a raclette evening out. Raclette is a Swiss cheese that you heat up and scrap off onto potatoes, bread, etc. It is very tasty. Anyway, we couldn't get into the restaurant down the street, so we found a place in Mendrisio that had raclette. Little did we know, the little place was actually a little hotel. The little hotel reminded all of us of the classy establishment in the US, The Howard Johnson. The bibs we wore really added to the classiness of the place :).
Home At Last!!!!!
I was finally able to make it home in mid-December. Much to my surprise, my man treated me to a Christmas tree. This has been a little bone of contention in our relationship, so I'm glad he has finally agreed that I am right :). Isn't it cute?!
Back to CA
After spending a few quality days in VA, I headed to CA to see my family and plan, plan, plan for this wedding. I did manage an evening out with my best gals, Megan and Marilee. Here we are at Mar's house admiring my gorgeous ring!
Like I said before, I spent the rest of my Christmas break planning for the Big Day. I found a dress (yeah!) but I just can't post those pictures. What if he saw? Ellis came out for part of the ordeal and endured a few days of non-stop wedding. We both had a great time and we can thank my parents enough for organizing everything for us. Ellis and I also took engagement photos, which you can see at www.jimkennedyphotographers.com under the "Proofs" link.

I arrived back to CH in early January and I have been making my way through each week ever since, enjoying the few day trips I have taken. Check out the next posting to see what I've been up to!
