Does anyone know how you register to be entered into the Guinness Book of World Records? I'm pretty sure my name could be listed as the person who has moved the most times in their life. It's almost comical as I try to count the actual amount of times I have packed my life into boxes and/or suitcases and relocated. I know that I have lived in 7 different homes in Pleasanton alone and...well, let's just say I have seriously lost count of the total.
This is an exciting move for me and Klas since we will be building our home together for the first time. We have been living in a furnished apartment so it has never really felt like ours and the small size was finally starting to get to us. We love our new apartment's layout and the fact that it is three times bigger than the place we have now. We have heard mixed reviews about the neighborhood, but I feel secure in the fact that there is no such thing as a "bad" area in Stockholm and know it will be great. It's a little further outside of the city, but that's what we gave up for more space.
We've had a lot of fun furniture shopping for the past few weeks, which is something I never thought I'd say. You know you're getting old when you get excited about kitchen tables and couches.
Thanks to all the experience I've had, I am a pro at packing and know all the tricks. I even went to the grocery store to ask for banana boxes but the store clerk just kind of looked at me strangely. I guess people don't do that here. Needless to say, I broke down and paid for some real moving boxes and now am all set to spend the rest of the weekend loading all of our books, clothes, pots and pans, oh yeah, and all 500 of Klas' CD's into them.
