More than One Room!!

We finally moved to our new apartment in Hallstahammar! Here is a brief video tour.


We are still missing some key pieces of furniture - first because we don't own them, second because we can't carry them up the stairs - but it is already a much happier place than the studio apartment in Västerås. We have bulging leg muscles and are exhausted from carrying heavy box after box after box, plus awkward shaped miscellaneous items up two flights of stairs over and over again. Hopefully we will give IKEA some business soon and turn it into a cosy home. I must be feeling better here because I sing little songs and visit other rooms in the apartment, just for the sake of being in a different room. I went for a walk in the beautiful forest just across the street yesterday and was amazed to discover that people that get lost really do go in circles! The main drawback of our place is that because of living so close together for so long, Mikael and I are used to being able to converse with each other from wherever we are at. After shouting "What?!" to each other a few dozen times, we are slowly learning that we have to first hold on to whatever it is we want to say and then find the other person and then say it, instead of just blurting out every random thing that comes into our heads.

Holy Moses...it's so huge and nice! After living in truncated European housing for a while myself, it looks freaking palatial. Josh is excited that we get our own guest room. I think we'll pick the hobby room or even the entry way looks nice. I'll be sure to start chain smoking before I come. Maybe you can put flowers on the porch and rig up a levitating device so you can water them? The options are endless! Congratulations on your new life!
