10 days and counting....

We were apart for 5 days and it felt like forever. What is it going to feel like when I return to Cali and she stays in Sweden???

'The City of Love'

Paris was by far my favorite city that I have traveled to since coming abroad. There is so much about Paris that forces you to fall in love. So much to see, do and the atmosphere is incredibly charming. The food is unreal– from the crepes to the macaroons everything was delicious. 


I had an amazing time enjoying Paris at all times of the day. I walked around the gardens while snacking on typical french things; My favorite was the Garden of Luxemburg with all the statues. By night Paris was incredible, all lit up with the beautiful lights. 



David Guetta & I in the park <3


I hope some day soon I can return to Paris and stay for a longer time. I fell in love with the city and I can honestly imagine myself living there one day, I can only hope right?

Sitting next to u doing absolutely nothing means everything to me...

Time passes, it's like an express train you can't stop. It's two weeks left until one of the people I hold close to the heart has to go home. And the heart acheing part is that home is on a  different continent, there are seas and oceans that separate us. Since day one, it has been us, we've laughed so we've cried, we've been sad and angry together. We have traveled, discovered, partyed, and just sat next to each other and not done anything, and it is that, just sitting next to each other and just being, knowing that the other one is so close to you, that is what matters most and that's what I'm going to miss the most.

Tiden går, det är som ett express tåg du inte kan stoppa. Det är två veckor kvar tills en av dem personerna jag håller nära hjärtat måste åka hem. Och det som skär i hjärtat är att hem är på en annan
Kontinent, det är hav och hav som separerar oss. Sen dag ett har det varit vi, vi har skrattat så vi har gråtit, vi har varit ledsna och arga tillsammans. Vi har rest, upptäckt, festat, och bara suttit bredvid varandra och inte gjort någonting, och det är just det att bara sitta brevid varandra och bara vara, veta att den andra finns så nära en det är det som betyder mest och det är det jag kommer att sakna.

Go Raiders

Today felt a lot like Christmas to me! I received 2 packages with gifts from back home. There was a problem with the post so everything was kept for about 5 days longer than usual. I got some very nice things, including a Raiders stocking. My favorite American Football team.

2011 , CHEERS!

2010 has been a real mountain and valley path. It was the year I was crazy, the year I lost someone I was close to, the year I got two new loves in my life, the year I learned that you have to fight for what you want, it's blood sweat and tears if you want to get somewhere in life.
But I did start the  New Years good, I started it with people I care about and keep close to my heart.
So I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the year 2011, I can feel that it is going to be a good year.
Had good desserts at Vanessas....


Alaura, me & Vanessa...

Vanessa got us this funny glasses instead of party hats...



and right before midnight we went hiking through the snow to see the fire works...

but who cares about the snow when your speending New Years with the best ppl...


HAPPY NEW YEAR!
