In January 2008 Bryan was asked if he would be interested in an overseas assignment; with one night to think it over, we decided "YES!" and from there it has been a blur. Bryan began traveling back and forth between Geneva, Switzerland and Placentia, California. By July 2008, our family was packed up and in a little village outside of Geneva called Bogis-Bossey. It's been 7 months since our move and we've all had some adjusting to do. Bryan is now Finance Manager in Europe and is being challenged every day. He does a bit more traveling, but the trips are usually 2-3 days and not 2-3 weeks! The best part is, when Bryan's home on the weekends, he's home, and we get to do a lot together as a family.
Troy and Quinn are attending College du Leman, an international school just 10 minutes away. Each of them has made friends quickly and are in class with students from many different nationalities. They both take French classes 5 periods a week and have played afternoon soccer in the fall. (Spring soccer should be starting soon.)
Stephanie is adjusting a bit slower than the rest of the family. She has a lot more time on her hands and misses the activity of being with her quilting family at Threaded Pear Studio and Cranberry Quiltworks! She has gotten involved with Bible studies at church and trying to have coffee or hang out with the new people she has met. There are ups and downs, but lately there have been more ups than downs.
This blog will serve as a way to share our adventures with you, our family and friends!

I love your blog Stephanie. This will be a great way to find oout what is happening with all the people that I have met while visiting you guys. I'm especially interested in the things that Pastor David McChesney is presenting to the Westlake congregation.
My spring visit with your family has been wonderful, especially the day we went sledding on the 7km run and Quinn wanted to ride with me after spending the first 1/3 of the run with Bryan on the double sled. Why? As she told Bryan, "Grandpa has more control than you do, dad."
of course, you'll get tons of comments from Dad and me. I just love reading blogs...keep it up. And I'll be a proud follower.
Yea!!! I love blogs Stephanie. I spend time each day looking at them. Don't know if you've look at our families. It is thefivewards.blogspot.com. It is called the two year mission for mars. We are loving Jersey and the cold and the snow. Went back to Cali in Jan to work Road and loved it. Looking forward to MQS. I haven't gotten into facebook, like blogs better.
