Honeymoon: Day 1
We landed in Zurich, Switzerland. After a long day of traveling, we were exhausted and excited to get started on our adventure....
From the beginning....
We purchased Swiss Train Passes to have unlimited access to the trains, buses, lifts and museums in all of Switzerland. We ordered them a couple of weeks in advance and were so excited because this was going to help us get around the country with ease.
Also, to prepare, we went to the bank and got some dollars converted into Swiss Francs and Euros.
On the flight from SAN to EWR we realized that we remembered the cash....however, to our horror, we did not remember the rail passes....
We touched down in EWR and immediately were on the phone with the rail company and browsing the website trying to figure out what to do....fortunately, we could return the unvalidated Swiss passes for a small fee, better than being out quite a bit of money, and we could purchase the passes in Switzerland.
Phew!
We get on the plane and cross over the Atlantic. I slept for most of the trip with Rich watched every movie and show that was played. We arrive early the next morning, picked up our packs, bought passes (for way more than we originally paid...oh well) and headed into downtown Zurich for a Rick Steves walking tour.
We did a quick tour because it was hot and humid, we were hungry and exhausted.
We decided to hop on the next train and we rode the train into Bern expecting to find a place to put our stuff down, relax a bit and enjoy our first night. Unfortunately, after visiting the tourist office, we sadly found out that every hotel in Bern was booked, except the 5 star ($500/night) hotels and camping on the outskirts in "boongalos" (the woman had the sweetest voice and said bungalow in the most endearing way!) We were not about to spend that much on the first night and we were too tired and wanting a shower to camp, so we hoped on the next train to Interlaken.
Fortunately, we were able to find a place in Interlaken to stay! We were hungry and exhausted.
We checked in to our room, put our stuff down, laid on the bed, and slept for almost 3 hours!
We got up, showered and decided to go out into the town and walk around and find dinner.
We stopped at the first place we found and we ate the famous fondue. It was delicious! Definitely needed!
We did some more exploring and walking around and headed back to our hotel for a good nights sleep.

Update
So we are mostly settled and unpacked, which is amazing!
A few updates:
My "Sweeter" has recently told me that he does not like that I use our nickname on the internet and he would rather me use his real name. So, I will be using that from now on :-)
I am currently in the beginning stages of a job search! It is exciting, fun, stressful and long. I know that I can offer any company the world and that they will be glad to have an employee like me. Wish me luck! I had 3 interviews last week and I have a follow up 2nd interview tomorrow, which is very exciting!
We are waiting to get the DVD of our wedding photos so I can share more of our favorites! I am so excited! We want to get some enlarged and framed to hang on the walls in our apartment! Yay!
I will be writing about our honeymoon, sharing stories, pictures and videos!
I hope you all are having a great day and I look forward to catching up on blogs now that we are a little more settled and I have a little more time!

The Message
The morning of the wedding I had a missed call from one of my long time friends. I let the call go to voicemail because she is notorious for leaving me the most up beat, happy and sweet messages (and did I mention, they always rhyme?)
I recently got a new phone and all of my messages were erased, so I asked her if she had written it down and if she could send it to me.
Luckily, she had written it down and I thought I would share it with you all!
When reading it, imagine it to be in a slight song :-)
Good morning, La Tache, how are you?
I know your doing great
Its the 29th of may,
it's a very special day,
and I know it will go your way!

It's Official
Last Thursday the husband and I went to the Social Security Office and the DMV to get the process rolling for my name change.
I got my new Social Security Card in the mail yesterday!
Woohoo!
Now I'm just waiting for my new Drivers License to come in the next month!
Wow! What life adventures! We got married a little over a month ago, went on our honeymoon, snapped back to reality and now we move in 2 weeks up to Los Angeles for the husband to go to school! I am so proud, he was accepted into all of the schools he applied to! UCLA is lucky to have him!
Now, I need to finish my current job and find a new one and move and great re-acquainted! We am so excited!!
I hope you all are enjoying your Hump Day!
