Hello everyone!
There we are, living in our new home decorated with beautiful full, half full and empty boxes all over the place! :-) We are having lots of fun unpacking them and finding out what`s inside.. (In most cases, they are labeled but it still is often a surprise what exactly appears. It almost feels like sinterklaas ( of Christmas ) sometimes:-)
Lukas had a week off, which we gratefully spend on this `boxes project` in trying to make our new home look more cosy. We decided not to pack stuff (because then, unpacking and packing at the same time didn`t make so much sense plus the weather didn`t help) and to camping for a couple of days. Since living in our new app. for the first week Felt like a vacationhome - we made lots of fun trips and just returned to our vacation home at night to rest.
We love our new home and are absolutely thankful for all the help we received packing and moving. My best friend from holland came with my mom and Jan-Peter to help me pack the heavy stuff. Jan-Peter has proved to be our muscle man and carried around somuch full, overloaded boxes in one day that I thought he would fall down somewhere in between, but he didn`t. They were great.
Then on the day of the actual move, we had a Lucerne-priesthood team down our 8stairs, who carried everything down in a chain so amazingly fast that I almost couldn`t follow nor believe it with my own eyes.
With two busses (one from Lukas`s brother and the other from my work), lukas and I each drove one to our new home in kanton Bern.
There awaited us a new priesthood-brother team, that builded another chain into our new appartment.
Without the huge help from everyone, we would not have made it. Thank you all soo much!
Last week, we spent one day making a 3-lake-trip on a boat starting in Biel/Bienne. I even got a foot-massage on the boat! The weather was gorgious and the city we left the boat ( Morat/ Murten / Mont Vully) was worth spending some time..
We also spend our first ! anniversery visiting the Temple, making a trip and taking a wonderful walk. I can`t believe we have been married for 1 year now.. It feels like yesterday and we enjoy eachothers company and love eachother more everyday...
After one year Lucerne, I am so curious what adventures and blessings are awaiting us here in Kanton Bern... I am positive that it will at least be as fantastic as the past year... !
Finally we had (made) time to cut lukas`s hair. There is a before- and after picture:-) Expecially for Josien: His exam-beard became his `vacation-beard` now.. :-)
