I just realized that Blogger added more options for composing, nice!
Ok, I'm just going to cut and paste what I already wrote to a few people:
Ronny told me yesterday that a brother in our cong who lives down the road from us is moving and his house will be up for rent!!!! Now you have to understand I have been "coveting" this cute little house since I saw it. Of course Im not happy to see a friend move but oh my Im sooo happy cause Ronny called the landlord and he said we can have it! AND it will come out to about $100 less a month than we were paying before. It is really small but a house with no one living above or below (like at the old one) which I totally LOVE and it has a very nice bit of property around it. He is calling today to try and confirm it a bit more. He wanted to talk to me about it first so its looking good!!!!
Another good thing, last night I went with my mom and Ronny to this catering hall right near my house (we had totally forgotten about it) and they offered us an AMAZING deal for August 28th. Now we know that is 7 weeks away and thus really close so today my mom and dad were going back to see if we could get Sept 18th. Its closer but still far enough to get everything we want done. Yesterday was the first time in a LONG time that me and Ronny were actually excited about the wedding. I am so excited again! I called my 2 best friends and they will both still make it and one will be in my wedding still. Everything will still go as planned, just less people. We called Ronny's parents to see how they felt about it and they said they probably werent going to be able to make Nov 6th (and we made it Nov to give them more time to save up) so there is really no reason to wait till Nov. I hope all this makes sense. I'll keep you posted on what happens and if we officially change the wedding day.
Another thing that was worrying me to death...obtaining my visa. Ronny is a Danish citizen with permanent residence in Swedish so the rules for me obtaining a visa dont completely apply. I found an AWESOME website online for people who are American living/moving to Sweden and I asked in a forum what I should do about my visa. I had heard this before but a lady on there told me we could just get one once we are back in Sweden. I was SOOO happy to hear that! That will be perfect. I was really stressing about that but I think that will work out. Going to totally confirm first of course with Immigration in Sweden.
So it seems like (at the moment) everything is working out. I'll probably post again in the afternoon. TTFN.
