The entire month of January was pretty much dedicated to preparing ourselves for the official move to our new home in Vanløse the weekend before February 1st. However, nothing could have prepared us for the blizzard like conditions on actual moving weekend.
The difference between a Danish move and an American move is in DK moves happen year round, whereas we typically move in the Spring, Summer, Fall in the Midwest when the weather is mild and favorable for such things. In Copenhagen, reasonably priced apartments for rent are as hard to come by as a cheap latte so when you find one you like, you take it right then and there.
We woke on January 30th to the biggest snow storm of the season yet. Møn, where Tobias' parents live, was hit the hardest. We knew the van we had lined up wasn't going to make the trip, but Tobias' Dad wasn't giving up just yet. He test drove the roads, decided they weren't "too slippery" and made the 2 hour trip to Copenhagen.
Four trips back and forth and a trailer rental later we were all packed into our new home thanks to the will and determination of Ib and Marianne Møller. It's only February and they deserve the "Parents of the Year" award.
