The game is on!

I've just got the news and I'm shaking with excitement! My girlfriend and future wife has been accepted to Lund university for a masters degree in Biotechnology. This means that we are moving to Sweden!

I am so proud of my wife-to-be!

I have agreed to help my significant other with her life dream of living & studying in Sweden about a year ago, but until today it was all just a distant dream. Now it's real and the game is on! We have about four months or so to get everything ready and move. For me that will mean leaving my current position and finding a suitable programming job; for my dearest a race to get all her school duties finished in time.

I've created this blog to document my move to Sweden with everything that that entails: learning the language (basics for starters), finding a programming job (C# back-end suits me best), finding an apartment for the two of us and finally (hopefully) living in Lund, Sweden.

I figured that documenting such a big endeavor as moving to another country should be well documented so others can learn from my successes and mistakes. And of course, I need all the help I can get with every step along the way. Hopefully this blog will allow me to meet many friendly citizens who will be able to aid me with knowledge and advice.

All that is yet to come in the next weeks and months. Right now I need to keep calm and carry on!

The next step: Introduce myself and hopefully get in contact with someone Swedish!

But enough about me, how have you been?
