  An absolutely beautiful day outside today.  :  It rained ALL day yesterday.  :  But today the sun is out and there are no clouds and a nice light breeze.  :
 18º C/ 65º F :  And it should warm a little more before the day hits its warm peak.  :
 The cat .  grr.  everytime I clean up his toys and put them in his box.  he takes them back out again .  :  But Fredrik's "
interview"  went really well on Tuesday.  He will start " working"  for Nynä shamn's kommun on August 16th.
 :  He asked about doing a summer job there but there was nothing,  they said that the work during the summer was non- existent.  But when they come back in August,  they have plenty to do.
 :  Sorry I haven't written in a while,  though.  :  I have been busy playing my Zoo Tycoon game.  :
D It is lots of fun!  Trust me .  and very addictive.  But we have been looking for houses in the North of Sweden,  at about 20 hours North of where we are.  :
 ( Above the Arctic Circle.  6 months of light -  6 months of darkness .  and snow almost all year round.  :
 :  I don't mind the snow and darkness,  but Fredde HATES snow.  :  :  But.
 I always remind him that he can go fishing during the summer,  and then he doesn't mind so much.  :  But the houses there are SO much cheaper than here in Stockholm.  A newly built house in Nynä shamn,
 with 2- 3 bedrooms,  living room,  kitchen,  and 2 bathrooms,  goes for 250,
000$  .  :  Up north,  we can get a 5- 6 bedroom house,
 kitchen,  dining room,  huge library,  sitting room,  laundry room,  sauna with a shower,
 2 full bathrooms,  a guest house on the property with 2 bedrooms,  bathroom,  a living room,  a laundry room,  sauna and kitchen,
 a barn that is a car garage,  for 180, 000$  .  :  You are getting about 3 houses for less then the price of 1 here in Nynä
shamn.  :  And we are a 40 minute drive from Stockholm City.  :  Crazy.  :
 So,  I definately don't want to live in Stockholm anymore.  :  You can find houses like this all over Sweden.  An 8 room house in Nynä shamn was going for ohh.
 about 800, 000$  .  :  :  Oh well.
 :  :  Just depends on where Fredrik can get a job,  but we are going to try to look up North and in Falun.  Which is where I have been wanting to go to school for the last 3 years.  :
 :  There,  they have a University that has a program where I can get my Masters in English Lit in 1 year.  :  So,  that would be really nice.
 :  Even if we just move there for a couple of years and he work,  and I go to school,  and then move wherever after that ( not somewhere I would want to stay all the time)  .
 don't want to live in a " university town"  .  :  So,  our prospective cities will be (
with my horrible attempt at trying to show you how to say them)  and links to where they are located in Sweden:  Kiruna ( Keer- u- na)
 -  urlLink MAP Boden ( Bo- den)  -  urlLink MAP Luleå
 ( Lue- lee- oo)  -  urlLink MAP Falun (
Fa- luun)  -  urlLink MAP Hä rnö sand (
Hair- new- saand)  -  urlLink MAP ( In the Map -
 you see the map of Sweden to the Left -  and that shows where the city is located in Sweden,  and then the picture on the right shows the town a bit closer up.  ( Luleå  and Boden are very close to each other.
 And don't mind me .  I am bored.  :  :  Who knows where we will end up by the time he is done with school next year.  :
 :  But things are going well here.  Nothing too exciting or interesting I don't think.  :  We'll be heading off to Strand ( the summerhouse)
 soon,  and then my parents are leaving 3 weeks from today!  :
