How to get the idea to go to Sweden?
I've already written in the text above that I do not know if there is a "right" answer to the question.
I can only try once you write down how we come to Sweden are ...............
end of 2006, Frank and I have been talking about whether we should not take the step and leave Germany.
Frank is to know how so most of you, heating engineers. At the German labor market from the time it looked pretty bad. Well or very reason we had just the thought of our luck in another country to seek not released.
Then when it was clear to us we would like to emigrate to Sweden, was also found ... first we learn the language as best as you can get to stop in Germany. So we have
logged in a VHS-Swedish course.
In summer 2007, Frank was then unemployed, and we decided that it is directly a new job in Sweden is no longer here and in Germany. So we
have searched in the Swedish Arbitsamt jobs, all have useful printed, booked a flight, rented a car and off we went for Frank.
We have limited ourselves in our search to the Stockholm area.
Frank is flown Sunday and then wanted to leave within a week the company.
Wednesday he called me and then said he would now go on holiday because he had already been verbal commitments and he could not even really decide right now where to start it.
Phew, I was happy!
(for all the critics are reading this: I know that it all sounds pretty simple, just because you're flying times over, introduces himself at the companies and bang you have ne work ... all this is not so easy! But we just had the luck that seems at the time many plumbers were sought.)
When Frank was then home again in peace, we have considered that point would be for us the best.
Our beloved Swedish teacher Gunda has helped us in that time - many thanks again for this!
We then have decided to comfort company in Sollentuna. Since Frank was not as good in Swedish that he would have dared to call there, which has taken our dear Gunda.
Stefan, Frank's new boss, very happy.
He then has a small apartment for Frank organized and thus the project could start for us, Sweden.
... unfortunately there were now our home in Germany .... I'm always a brand new house get sold quickly determined ... No way ...... Thus began the next
mess at first ...
Frank has been doing well in his new home and came with his new colleagues very well. When things were language problems, he always has to quickly determine gegriffen.Wenn under the arms, the Swedes, that you want to integrate, then they are very helpful, and recognize it on high, that one difficulty with the language there. ( the In any case our observation) has
We had agreed from the start, I'll stay here with the children, first to Frank and his permanent employment has also observed, if they accept the Swedish labor market or not.
Each question chooses otherwise. We have also known (in Sweden and in Germany) say that they had not done so. They were always gone as a family with all the ifs and buts.
We have just decided on our way. Whether he was right or not?? It's a moot point
So how was certain that Frank is very much, and he would definitely stay in Sweden, I got our house trying to sell ......
Oh dear .. I could write a book about it ....
I have our house in spite of all efforts to sell because, unfortunately, had at the time the financial crisis struck full and no one wanted a home tie to the leg.
Time passed .. of course we have Frank visited in Sweden, our vacations spent there and Frank is regularly come to Germany. But I can tell you that goes to the nerves.
In March 09 we have then decided, after the house was still not sold that Frank must first come back, after all, was the overall (two households), a large financial burden.
Frank then sought a job in Germany, but was not really happy. Life in Sweden, people, humanity, and he lacked composure quickly in our hectic, German world.
We thought about it back and forth - we will stay here now until the children left home? we try again to Sweden to draw? If so - how do we make it this time to ..... In winter 2010, we have
will receive an indication from a broker in hand to buy the houses searched, so we called him and he sold our house in 14 days - hard to believe!
was finally sold the house, but believe me, now began to really stress.
I am now honestly to you - at one time did I intend to call into question our whole Sweden! Was it really right to emigrate? Have we not all in Germany? Should we really let all our friends here to see if we like it better in Sweden?
I could not sleep properly at night because a thousand thoughts flashed through his head.
Now it was gone - our home. We have built with our own hands .......
For Frank, it was clear - now we go up as a family.
Our older daughter Jessica is in Germany - it was quite clear, for it is almost 19, making this an education. Our daughter Julia (15) was supposed to ....
us has but just before the truck was told that they would like to be here great graduate and then their Abi machen.Na, .. even more problems!
Leon is looking forward to Sweden as only what!
eyes and go ......
Julia moves in with her godmother and goes for a school its way, everything else will take the time with them.
This time everything was different than in 2007. Frank had no work, but we had found to rent a nice house in March. Thus we have
at least a roof over their head. Everything else, we are sure (well, not ever ;-)), is already.
We then ordered a 7.5 ton truck and started sorting out our household. Here comes
a lot together, I can tell you. We have separated us from many things, because everything fits nunmal not in such a truck.
Then Frank and Leon, our dear friend los Harald and his parents to Sweden ........
Our house ..............
