I really have no idea what to say for this first post! It should probably be something big and meaningful, but I'm all jumbled up and too excited to straighten myself out. I know the blog title is saccarine-sweet, but I'm sure it's best to kick off this fiasco with a positive attitude, and it really does describe my personality and the outlook I try to have on things pretty well.
Nothing's 100% confirmed yet, but I'm in the process of finalizing plans to move to Stockholm late this summer to live as an au pair with a wonderful Swedish family. I've never been an au pair before, and I'm really nervous, but pretty confident that everything will turn out ok - I know my way around a house and DEFINITELY around a kitchen, and kids are awesome between the ages of diapers and hormones (non-inclusive).
An Icelandic family also contacted me, asking for me to come and au pair with them in Reykjavik (try saying that ten times fast) in the early summer - wow! I never even expected to get even one response when I signed up at that au pair site, and now I have two right in a row that will work right with each other and will get me out of this stale place in the USA so quickly?! I must be better than I thought at writing text interviews of myself, or something!
This blog will be a chronicle of my experiences in Iceland and Sweden - and the journey there and back, or wherever I go afterward. Hopefully someone will find this interesting, but if not, I'll always have it to look back on later and hopefully remember with a smile :)
