So.. I guess I'm in a really "missing Utah mood" these days when none of my friends are home (or if they are they work all day) and I spend most of my time just home.. hanging out with my sisters and dogs, or on my computer. So I made a post for Laura yesterday, and I thought I'd keep going and make some posts for other special people... =)

So here's a post for Trevor. Trevor Trevor Trevor... ^^

Everything that you do for me, mean to me and how I can talk to you about absolutely everything. I miss you so much - I think you have a pretty good idea of just how much - and I can't wait to see you again sometime <3

No need for words. Tons of Hugs <3 PoK

Always <3

My wonderful friends ^^ This was the best birthday party ever <3 had such a good time, and here we all get together and Sing :D Loves!!!

I'm having a major missing Laura moment, and so here I put some of our songs that have touched my at the bottom of my heart. I have so many memories with you sweetie, and "I know I'm who I am today, because I knew you.." <3

For Good - Sung by us, graduating choir seniors and Chamber Choir =')

 

Sourwood mountain - Region Choir.. needless to say, it was kinda hard to memorize and hilerious to sing ^^ hahah <3 I think we sung "sourwood mountain" once in the beginning then only "bom", "plink", "doo", "plank" etc ;P

 

Do you hear what I hear - the Choir Trip to Salt Lake in Dec 09.. and us messing up the verses and having a great time up on the bus, and singing at that hospital for the kids.. Unforgettable <3

 

Build me up Buttercup - this version is cool, imagine that we sung the part that the guys sing here ^^ hehe love it that the guys get to sing "You could be the guy I adore" tho they changed it.. anyways <3

 

What'll I do - the one song where the Altos had the melody!! Woho ALTO POWER <3

 

St Louis Blues - Hahah I can totally see Laura performing it like this ^^ So much fun <3

 

Oh Shenandoah - I thought this was a very entertaining version of it ^^ Heheh

 

Laura dear I really think we should sing that version of For Good some times, it's sooo pretty and makes me cry every time I listen to it. Miss you lovely <3

So today, Elsa and I decided I should let her dye my hair O.o
It actually turned out really nice. It was blonder, like this..

(what a horrible pic..)

and turned out something like this (I know it's blurry but well... it's something). Very much closer to the color I had last fall, in the US, first time I dyed my hair ever. I think it's pretty much the same as then =)


I like it =)

Back home for a little bit in the middle of sailing. It's been a few wonderful days, full of sun, swimming, rain, storms, wind, waves and mosquitoes ^^ All pics by me so well.. They're mine ;)


Not sure when we're off again, picking up Sara from her scout camp tomorrow Monday, and then we'll see ^^

Hey, now I'm back from 10 days in Portugal, + a few days to unpack and keep cleaning my room and get things in order back home.
So we went to see our friends in Algarve, southern Portugal, and stayed at their huge beautiful house on the countryside where we met them again after 12 years apart. Catti's now 19 and Freddi's 20, and it was very nice meeting both of them cause I can remember them vaguely from when I was 6.

We visited Algoz, Albufeira and some other towns, and went to the San Rafael Beach a few times where the water of the Atlantic Ocean was waay nice and it's been sunny and beautiful every day. Super hot but nice ^^

We also went to Spain for 2 days, driving to the city Sevilla and the old part of Cadiz, and down to a national park with a 50 km long beach ^^ Pretty cool :P

I got tons of pics that I haven't gone through yet, so I'll just put one or two up here now and get some more later in another post =)

The flowers in their garden, and the pool with a palm tree and one of their little extra houses in late afternoon.

Pretty huh? ^^ <3

I KNOW i hate "Today's outfit" pics, and i am against ego pics of yourself. But these pics were taken by my little sister as she skyped with me in the US, the day after prom so my hair was still very curly. I really like them and so I decided to put them up here. Well, some of them ;) My sisters always take too many pics ^^ hehe

I just felt like my blog is lacking some pics (it is) so I decided to put some more summer pics up here ^^ All I do right now anyways is wait for my parents to get back with the dogs.. Enjoy! Oh and btw, they're all mine, with copyright (yes that includes my sisters) so ask first ;) <3

Since I left Sweden, during all of my year abroad, and now that I'm back.. all this time I have talked to different people back here who are about to go abroad, or want to, but want some advice. Inspired them and helped with things they wonder about. It's actually been really fun, a good way to inspire and feel like you're doing something good for them.

This one girl I have talked to quite a bit, and I'd like to recommend her blog cause it's awesome. Go check it out!

Anneli

Hörru anneli, lycka till så mycket och berätta hur det går :D

Today I woke up late and then Sara and I talked to Trevor a bit. So weird how he was still up, it was so freakin late for him but well it was a great time talking at least O=)
Then I hung out with Tessan and we decided to just lay in the garden and tan ^^ heheh yay bikini lines :P She left like an hour ago and since then I have been talkin to my parents and sleeping outside. We have a huge hammock thingy outside hanging in the oak tree, and from it you can see the blue sky through the branches and the sun barely makes it through.. It's very pretty and one of my favorite spots in out garden :)

These hot days, you really don't wanna eat. I had a little piece of bread with butter for breakfast, a peach for lunch, a little bit of ice cream just now, and I'm not hungry at all.. weird. Well well ^^

 

Picture taken by me, Copyright. Summerish, huh? ^^

I am really sorry that I'm so lazy when it comes to blogging. I have had a busy month here with Solveig, and had a busy time making sure she was all set to go home. Thursday night we stayed up (I slept a total of 2 h) and watched the sunrise at 4am. Walked about a block in PJs and rubber boots and sat there on the stairs watching the sun rise. It barely disappeares at all this time of the year. It just sorta floats right below the horizon for like 2 hours, and then starts rising again. This means it never really gets dark in the summer here. Very nice. Can't wait to get those pics from Solveig <3 Oh and dear - I'll make an album too with the ones you didn't get, if you make one for me :)

So after Solveig left from Arlanda at 9 in the morning, Friday, I went home and tried to sleep. I was way upset and cried tons at the airport and in the car on the way home.. Then I slept some more (about 2 more hours) and we went to Persson's for dinner.

Yesterday I hung out with Sofia (awesome to see her again) who just recently got back from half a year studying in Madrid, Spain. She's going back in the fall, and then finishing her last semester next spring. She brough strawberries and ice cream, and we went swimming with Sara. Good times =)

Slept over at Veronica's house (yaaay) before she's leaving for 5 days in Göteborg (south of Sweden)...  It was great, had a good time and helped her pack and stuff (yaaay for Solveig's way of packing, it really worked ^^)

Today's mostly been lazy trying to clean up my room (did clean up all of the basement) and go through old boxes and stuff. Got some help from Trevor on skype (keeping me focused and making sure I didn't get stuck reading through ALL of my old books ^^) and then I went swimming with Sara :)

I will put up more pics soon, but now I'm gonna go watch a movie with my family. Good night <3

Hey there, back from my Aunt's farm where we celebrated midsummer with relatives on my mom's side.. We went there on Friday morning, and stayed til Sunday lunch time. I got lots of nice summer pics, which are mine - taken with my camera - so please don't steal them ^^ That includes you Elsa! If you take mine, I'll come steal yours =P

Oh btw - forgot to mention - Elsa cut off about a dm (10 cm) of my hair Thursday... If you really look, you can tell it's way shorter and very various lengths ^^ I like it, tho it's very weird to have such short hair again...

Here they are... enjoy! (as always - click to see bigger)


Nice pics huh? ^^ Makes me feel so summer-ish :D

I spent Friday feeling faint and tired, and freezing in the hot summer air (hot for Sweden.. heheh) with a little bit of a sore throat. Fell asleep in the sun for long, and pretty sure I had a fever. We all decided to sleep inside and ditch the tent, and we played cards way late til I felt sick and decided to sleep. Didn't sleep too well tho, fever and head ache... isch.. Saturday morning started with me feeling sort of like a dead rat. Thanks a million times to Trevor for helping me through that horrible morning and all that <3 hugs to you ^^
Got up anyways and went to a lake and watched the others swim. Slept on the grass with head phones on. Then on to the small town Nora to have ice cream and looked around there. Then I don't really remember what that afternoon and evening contained, but played more cards that night before the others went outside and slept in the tent, and I stayed inside cause I still felt not too well.. Slept from 1 to 4 ish, then woke up and think I had pretty high fever cause I was sweating yet freezing and was way confused.. O=)

So yeah I've had a pretty sick weekend. Met lots of nice relatives tho. Malin, Lasse and their little Lukas (oh right, that was Sat evening! They were there.. :P ) are sweet and adorable ^^

So I have had a clumsy and weird day... On top of sore throat, head ache, fever and stomach ache... This morning I tripped in the stairs and spilt my tea over my right hand and burned it. Had to put burn-gel on it and it got swollen with blisters, great. Once we got home I caught a big falling bag on my left hand thumb and cracked it backwards so now I have a bandage covering that hand.. I'm stupid.. :P

Oh well, having a girly talk with Solveig so I'll blog more later =) Night <3

Long time no writing.. sry about that ^^

I keep us busy, and we've been doing lots of stuff since I wrote last time, at which day we had gone to Gröna Lund. I'm gonna post some random pics from my phone (finally got them off, as dad had to go get a new one cause the flash didn't work on mine, I got the pics off) and while I could also use pics from Solveig's camera, I'm too tired for that... as always, click to see the bigger picture :)

Me in Junibacken ^^

Solveig and I at Gröna Lund's Funpark

The four of us who went to Gröna Lund

Solveig and Max as we watch the crown princess drive by after getting married... Solveig was really the only one who could see anything.. But then again - she's the foreigner here ;)

Solveig's swimming!! And I'm holding her up and as you can tell by the little girl in the pic... it's not very deep ^^ But still :) Good job dear <3

Dad on our boat when we sailed to the center of Stockholm, turned in front of the castle and picked up mom from work..

Elsa and Gaby were onboard

And so was Solveig =)

Alfonz enjoying the wind in front of the front sail <3

And that's where my pics stop for now. Have more on the phone, but those aren't in the comp yet.. Also, the other day Solveig and I had a "birthdays party" with some friends and it was way fun and sweet people showed up =) Thanks you guys <3

Now Solveig's dying to post on her blog, so I'll be done for now :P

Have a Wonderful Midsummer!!!!

Oh one more thing! Gaby showed me this AWESOME clip yesterday hahaha and it was way funny so I'm gonna post the jellyfish song on here for you =) enjoy!

 

Goodnight! <3

For you. Thanks for everything you did and still do for me, and how much you mean to me :)

I really want to put up pictures on here, but I haven't really figured out how to get them off my new phone's camera yet. So well I'll just have to give you those thousand words that one picture says more than.. :P or not.

Soo.. I think the last post that was actually about something was when I got my phone and we went to Old Town and stuff. Which was almost a week ago. After that we've hung out with Veronica a few times, seen Max some, gone to Skansen (the combined zoo and outdoors museum) with my family, gone to Junibacken (celebration of Astrid Lindgren's famous stories) and today Gröna Lund which is the Fun Park in town.

Those are some of the major things we've done this past week. Can't really think of anything else to say than some thanks. Thank you Pauline for tonight, I have missed you so and you're wonderful <3 Thank you Max for being so Swedish.. <3 Thank you Laura for all the patient comments on my blog ( you're the only one who does so) <3 Thank you Trevor for listening and always making me feel better <3 Thank you Laura and Ida for making sure I feel welcome back here <3 Thank you Solveig for everything you do, jellyfish. Thank you for making me laugh at your stupidity ;) Thanks everyone ^^

It is freakin freezing in here, gotta go hide under the blankets now and fall asleep. Need some sleep after a very long day. Good night =)

Finally I had Solveig watch Lord of the Rings - the first movie. The ultimate proof that I've been away from home for way long is that I looked for it among our movies, and came to the conclusion that my parents must have thrown it away. Sad, I thought. Asked my dad about it, and then suddenly remembered that I got all three special edition collector's version boxes for my birthday last year... ;P heheh yeah I'm forgetfor that way. Had them all in my room.

Now I have this song stuck in my head, such a pretty song and I really like it. Love playing it on guitar and sing.. Very pretty (A) I really like the lyrics too ^^

Thanks Laura btw for your superlong comment on an earlier post. I hug you too ^^ wish I had arms big enough to hug everyone I know cause hugs are like the best thing in the world and to stay healthy you need 39 of them each day (right Laura?).. <3

I made it back =) Godmorgon Sverige ^^

After leaving Vegas on Thursday morning, we flew all day and all evening and arrived at midnight, which was 8 am here in Sweden and therefore... a whole day ahead of us ;)

Went to the "outrun" graduation at my high school and met some of my friends, then to a graduation party of a friend of mine. Slept 12 h, Saturday was mostly just being slow, making Solveig feel comfortable around my home etc.. Then Sara's dance show was at 5 in Dieselverkstaden in Nacka, and after that my brother came over with his wife and daughter. I haven't seen any of them for 10 months so that was sweet.

Sunday we celebrated my birthday in the morning and then a bunch of relatives came and visited, all of them people I haven't seen since last summer or even longer.. For example, my cousin Malin's son Lukas, I have never met and he was born in May last year. It's weird to see this little one-year-old that I've never even met.. But he was way cute ^^ Most of the people in my generation, aka my brothers and my cousins, have always been in their twenties or so. Now all of a sudden, they're all having little kids and getting married and such. It's really weird when the main subject of discussion goes from travels, parties and new jobs to diaper sizes and baby toys. Really weird. Malin said in 10 years that will be me. Yeah right :P hahah

Today it's been the first day that everyone's been off to work and school but me and Solveig. We slept in quite a bit, walked the dogs and then hung out with Max all afternoon. Had a great time with him, though we kept talking english cause Max talkes waaay too fast for Solveig to understand any of it.

Anyways, it feels really weird to be home again. I was surprised by the green, after living in a red desert for a year. I still have a hard time remembering swedish words, and I have to translate my thoughts to Swedish. Strange, yes.

Also, my phone got stolen in the US - think I've mentioned that before - so anyone who reads this and feel like I should have their number... Please send it to me in an email or on facebook or something. I have a temporary phone right now (one of my old ones) but will buy a new one soon =) Got some money for it for my birthday.

I really miss everyone back in Utah, it's hard not to. I try to stay positive though, at least I have Solveig with me :D But I hope you all are having a good time. You are wonderful and deeply missed <3

That's it for tonight. Sorry it's been so long since last time. Been sorta busy y'know ;) Night
