That is what our May looks like: Next week I'll be heading to Germany for 3 days for a CES Secretary Training Meeting. Week after that Uncle Dave comes to Sweden!!! Week after he comes, Chris is off to Switzerland. The day he gets back is the 1/2 Marathon, and then 3 days later we're outa' here for the entire summer!
Consequently a week after we fly to the States, we get to move into our new home! Yep, you read right, we are the proud new owners of our very own town-house! Luckily, Chris isn't coming with us quite so soon and will be able to move everything, start a couple projects, paint and maybe do the bathroom before he heads out mid-July. We are so excited!!! It's a bit of a renovating project, but this house has got potential and Chris is doing everything he can to contain himself before he's let loose on it June 1st. Over the years, we have watched Chris's siblings one by one buy houses and renovate...now it's finally our turn and we're thrilled! (Of course this done mean, we'll probably be here in Sweden for another 5 or so years, which is both sad and happy. Chris's company however has a lot of international opportunities, and I think/hope there will come an opportunity for us to live in the States some time).
We'll try to post some before and after pictures once we start going.

Congratulations home owners! I'm so excited for the Malm family. Good luck with the renovating projects. It's a never ending story at our house. Can't wait to see you here in Utah and you can see our sorry mess. I sure hope Chris is good at yard work. (Just kidding Chris, really.)
Congratulations! I agree with Carrie - - - renovation seems to never end! It's fun though, and it sounds like Chris is into that kind of stuff, so that's good. Can't wait to see pictures!
Yahoo! What an exciting time of life :) I'm really happy for you. I think doing some fixing up projects sound fun, but thats probably cause I've never done it! I wish I could see you when you come to the states.
Looking forward to seeing you and family in person! and pics of the house! Congrats!
MARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you have got to be kidding me???? Were headed your way the first and second week of June. I was so excited to get together with you in Sweden. If for some reason im reading your blog wrong and you will be there let me know.....
I am so happy you found a place you can fix up and make your own! I hope Christoffer doesn't slack off too much while you are gone (although it sounds like you already have it planned out what you want him to accomplish)!
