What have happened? -A lot has happened!
Kenneth arrived safely to Sweden, he and a friend was driving the 3000km from Thassos to Stockholm in two and a half days.
We now live in Märsta, a northen suburb to Stockholm.

Kenneth got a fulltime job in Märsta where I as well am working 15 hours a week. Our workplace has also provided with this appartment, fantastic! It's Gods grace how doors has been opened for us.
We also have the privileged to share the appartment with Josefina. Josefina is the niece of Kenneth that came to Stockholm in April because of a work opportunity. She's a easy going and fun person. We don't see too much of her though, since she's working fulltime and is dedicated to her exercises on the climbing wall.

Look at this, our new home! Nice and homy isn't it! We are very thankful for generous friends and family that has given us furnitures needed to make this our home!
Starting to get settle and feeling good. Still keeping our eyes opened for something of our own though, since we're now are renting through our work.
But it is hard to think of moving now that we got it in order.

 
That was the nice and tidy pictures, the ones that makes us feel at home and organized. :-)
Truth is though that not all the boxes are unpacked yet... And everything didn't get that organized yet...
Our balcony (and all the windows) are in the north overviewing a big parking. In the hall we don't have a hanger but only two screws on the wall and a chair that you are lucky if you can sit in :-)
But it will all come together sooner of later, every thing has to take it's time.

If there's anyone on this planet who can take a not-quite-perfect apartment and make it adorable, it's you! In fact, I wish you could come to our house for a few weeks and fill it up with little Lena details here and there. I'm so glad things are coming together for you and Kenneth!

Thank you Amanda! The trick is to take your pictures from just the right angle :-)
And I would love to come and take some pictures of your house too! But rather to get inspired, all the art and craft that you are making must have left some creativ sparks in your house. :-)

It's so adorable! Maybe I can come visit and see in person in December? My DTS ends in November and I plan to spend December traveling around Europe :).

I would love to have you come and visit in December!! Then I also get to hear all about your dts and outreach!
And you'll get to meet our babyboys! and I would show you my Stockholm!
It's a lot of green areas(by then hopefully white though) with old castles in the neighborhood and the oldest city of Sweden is just few km away (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigtuna), a very picturesque town. And I would take you downtown to our beautiful capital and we had to go to the christmas market at Skansen (www.skansen.se/en/)...
