8/28/08 Moving Day #1

We had to be out of our apartment in Lund by the end of August, and since we weren’t planning on moving to Stockholm until after we got back from our cruise on September 8th, we had to find a place for our stuff for a week. We generously volunteered Bjorn and Ulrika, who live across town. Lund isn’t a huge town, but since neither of us own a car, it makes things difficult. The good news is that we asked Håkan, who we went camping with a few weeks back, and he thankfully said yes. The bad news was that it was Ulrika’s birthday the next day and they were having a large party, which of course means grocery shopping, cleaning, etc, with no time (or space in their clean apartment) to help 2 crazy kids from the states who have waaaaay too much stuff (ahem, Blake) move their stuff in. But they were awesome and helped us out anyways and after 2 car trips across town, we were done with that. (This whole process took several hours and somehow I am understating the drama here which isn’t like me at all.)
