2010-05-03: We got our apartment!

First of May was a BIG day for us. We got the keys to our apartment i Hästveda - a small village in middle of Skåne (the most southern region i Sweden). When we decided to take a break, we realised that it was not very practical to keep our house. We started looking for a place to store our stuff, and in best case maybe we could find a place where we also could stay when going to Sweden. After looking at a couple of places, we found a perfect apartment that was big enough for our stuff, gives us plenty of space when we are in Sweden, and is within the budget. When we saw the apartment first time months ago, we didn´t hesitate many seconds. Going there the second time was a little bit scary. Honestly we didn´t have a very clear picture on what we signed up for. Opening the door we directly felt that this was really fantastic - a place we can call home!
With the help from Mats sisters family (sister Carina, husband Wyatt and the kids, Carl and Anna) and Anne´s daughter Mikaela and boyfriend Johan, we managed to get a lot of things into the right place already the first day. This was not the main move though. Our plan is to leave the house in end of August, and that is when a moving company will take care of all our stuff.
Our real estate agent will start market our house this week. We believe that we have an attractive house, and hope that the sell process will go smoothly - but you never know.
