We Are Officially Here!!

I don't have pics yet but decided to update the blog. Mike, Courtney and Colton arrived on 1/29, I ended up staying an extra week at home because we sold our house unexpectedly (it wasn't even listed) and I had to move us out. They had to be here to get their visas and tax numbers before 1/1. They got to spend New Years Eve in Sweden. I heard the fireworks were crazy and they could see tons from the house. Mike said the neighbor was outside in a tux at midnight shooting off fireworks in the street!! CRAZY- I hope to be in on those festivities next year. Colton loved the snow- about 18 inches on the ground when they got here.

I arrived 1/6 in a snowstorm. It was beautiful-SNOW was everywhere-white and fluffy!! Courtney had the kitchen all set up she had been cooking every night. They were all glad to see me but they were doing great without me!!

Colton started school on 1/10 (Monday) he really liked it. I took some mistakes and studying to get the buses figured out! Courtney was a big help!!

So, our stuff came 1/14 and we are all settled in now. We were supposed to get broadband in the house yesterday, however that didn't work out. They said in the next 3 days but we will see. The other issue is the dryer is not working- I am working on getting that fixed today. We just don't use the microwave because everytime you do it blows a fuse in the other part of the house. I missed this excitement, but we just avoid it now.

We are going on our first excursion this weekend!! To southeast Sweden- Vaxjo, and Kalmar- it is called glass county. Hope to update and have pictures from the weekend.
