It has arrived… well kind of. Daniel received a letter from the Migration office saying that they have his Aufenthaltsbewilligung (permit) ready for him. All he needs to do is sign the letter - for two reasons: 1. to prove that he lived at the same address as me 2. to say that yes, he did indeed still want the permit! So he is allowed to stay, legally, and indefinitely - as long as Daniel and I are married and live in the same house! Phew. So pleased. Thanks to the Oberentfelden Gemeinde for giving the Migration people a bit of a push.
The Chocolate Index
14.2kg
This is the total amount of chocolate we've eaten since our arrival in Switzerland on 12/05/08.
(The Swiss eat an average of 12kgs of chocolate per person, per annum. We're just tying to fit in.)
Fantastic news! Praise the Lord!
Thinking of you as you are saying your good-byes to Missie and Simon. Your loss, our gain…
Life is full of hellos and good-byes, isn’t it? I guess one can’t happen without the other.
See you in about 6 weeks!
Love, Mum
Congratulations, Dan and Michelle, for having achieved the desired outcome! You certainly deserve a medal - or at least a free copy of the movie ‘Der Schweizermacher’! Well done!
Dad
I’m so glad for the good news from the Migration office. I just started reading your blog, by the way. Even though you don’t know me, I prayed for a successful outcome. God answers prayer!
