I've been a little depressed that we can't seem to find a house and get settled in. All of our stuff has arrived in Sweden, but we can't get to it until we have a place to move everything into. So now we're even more impatient.
But ... today, Saturday, we woke up and it just felt like everything will come together soon. Nothing in particular happened. Just a few inches of snow came down during the day. We took Tilly for a hike to the huge lake in town. Literally we just walked out our door and found a trail to it. I can't believe I've been here 3 months and never found it before.
It was nice. We passed one person the whole time we were out. I guess it was a little over an hour to get there and back. So it was really peaceful. Tilly was in heaven, of course, but I think it was just as good for us to be out there.
Our car arrived no problem on Thursday. Lewis got to drive it first, and he was like, "It's sooo good to be in our car." It sounds like such a silly thing. But it's really our only possession that we have right now. So it felt like a little bit of home was out here with us.
Tomorrow, the home search continues ... we are driving out to the West coast to a town called Landskrona. It would mean a bit longer commute for me, but it looks like an ideal spot. I KNOW you will all want to come visit!! :)
When you are out here, you can help me de-head and de-shell the "shrimps" they sell here. Yeah, kinda freaky. The worst part is that after all that work, it's a shrimpy shrimp!!
Hey Ginny,
Hang in there with the house hunt. You'll find your house soon! :) Miss you Liz
