Update
Our big move to Sweden is starting to fall into place! Let me update
you on the latest developments:
Most importantly, our residence/work visas were approved and just
yesterday we sent in our passports to Washington D.C. to be stamped
and sent back to us - in other words, we do not have to go to
Washington D.C. (thank goodness). We should have our passports back in
about two weeks.
Additionally, we received more information on our apartment and we
signed a lease - it's ours! It's a flat in Lund, just a few blocks
from Dan's lab (lunch dates are in our future) in a beautiful
neighborhood that we stayed in when we first visited Lund. It is fully
furnished and we can stay up to six months before we find something
more permanent. It's a good price, and we feel so relieved to have
this part of our plan solidified.
Due to these developments, we have established a new rough timeline.
We haven't bought plane tickets yet (hopefully that will happen
tonight), so it could change a day here or there if tickets are
cheaper, but here's our tentative plan:
October 7th: Move out of our apartment, drive to Madison.
October 7th - 20th or 21st: Stay in Madison (proposal: 7-14 with Mom
and Dad, 14-21 with Tim, yet to be confirmed)
October 20th/21st - 30th-ish: California! (Here we are considering
spending a couple days sight-seeing in wine country or something).
October 30th-November 5th: Minneapolis, see family, stay with Jen and
Ben for at least part of this. There will also be a going away party
during this time period for MN family.
November 5th: Depart for Sweden (after MLB playoffs of couse)
Please hold tight while we work out the exact dates here. The next
step will be to decide what we do, who we see, etc. in California.
Another question I've been receiving a lot is, "Stephanie! What are
you going to do in Sweden?!" I plan on getting a (free!) master's in
Welfare Policies and Management. It's a 2-year program in English that
will be quite applicable in Sweden or the US, especially for Social
Work administration. If I wanted to do clinical social work in the US,
I would have to be licensed in that individual state. This program
begins in July of 2011, so I'll have some time to intensively learn
Swedish and cook amazing food before I get started. In other words,
I'll have 8 months or so of time to read, relax, and blog!
