To blog or not to blog, that IS the question.....

I have been thinking of entering this whole world of bloggin', but haven't been sure it's been for me. Integrity, time etc. are things I am not sure I am willing to share/spend. But maybe I am. A tribute to our awesome God who brought us here. Here goes:

Jansson family arrived safely in Sweden about two months ago now.  We arrived with 12 checked pieces of luggage, one cat and one dog three children, three car seats and one stroller. It was a sight. The dog and the cat went through some extensive and expensive preparation to be able enter one of just a couple of rabies free countries. At the customs, the customs agent looked at me puzzled. I had just put a whole stack of papers in front of him declaring that we were moving countries and had brought pets. He asked me: Where does it say "Rabies shots?" I reply, Here, pointing at the word among a whole lot of other shots and tests shown in the paper. He then replies"Ok, you can go".  We were in.

We went straight from the airport, where grandma and grandpa picked us up in two cars and one trailer, (Thank you!) to see a house we were interested in. Great house. We then went to my sisters house for BBQ and to stay the first couple of nights.

After 5 nights with them, I said, no, we HAVE to move into the tiny shoebox provided for us by the relocation company, and where we were not allowed to bring pets. I had a gut-feeling this was wrong, and not the thing to do, but we had no choice! So we called a pet boarding place and, yes they had space and then we went over there to leave them.

At check in we started talking (in good American spirit, I still talk to everyone everywhere. Swedes are more quiet, private....) and I explain the situation to her, and she says: "Well, I have a house I am looking to rent! My parents have stayed there all summer, but they left this morning!"

Praise God! We moved in the next day!  To be continued.......
