Summer in Switzerland

After spending a month back in NY, I hopped on a plane to return to Switzerland for the summer. I am currently working for a company called LogoGrab and am really enjoying my time thus far.

After graduating, I moved out of my apartment in Lugano, so this month I am living a little outside of the city in a lovely little house with Kristen, who I met through Shannon, and her dog, Hugo. After living in a studio for the year, it's nice to have someone to chat with when we're both home. My quest for another dog has just increased tenfold by hanging with her lovable pooch! Close by are some trails and farms that I have plans of exploring and running.

Luckily, as I am a 15 minute drive outside of the city, I have a car for the summer, which easily gets me into the city center and work. Work is close by as well, allowing me to miss the Lugano morning traffic!

Congratulations Jeannie & Patrick!
Last Friday, Jeannie and Patrick got married! I am so happy for the two of them, as they are perfect for each other in every way. They are two of the nicest people and I honestly don't know what I would have done without them this year. Thursday night I met up with them, Jeannie's sister and family and two of Jeannie's friends for dinner at Grotto Flora for a wonderful meal. Jeannie's family and friends were so kind and it was so good to meet them after hearing so much about them. Grotto Flora is this cute family run grotto hidden up in Montagnola. The food there is so amazing and the owners are the nicest.


Friday, Jeannie and Patrick had a small church ceremony followed by aperitivo and dinner at Villa Castagnola. Jeannie looked absolutely stunning and they were both so happy. The church ceremony was beautiful, the dinner was amazing and the speeches were so touching. I am so glad that I was able to be a part of their beautiful day and wish them both all the happiness in their future together.
Husband & Wife!

Saturday and Sunday I was able to hang out with Jeannie's friends before they headed home. We were able to spend the weekend in the city enjoying the beautiful weather!
