Rainy Day

Today I woke up in a bed that I have missed so much while in Sweden. It's something about the way it feels to be comfortable in a familiar place. When I woke up this morning there was a storm outside. Yes, the rain has finally come to California leaving the rest of my day very gloomy. As I laid in bed I really didn't want to get out. It felt so good to hear the storm outside but feel so warm all at once. The feeling I'm sure you can relate is amazing, to wake up and know that whatever else is going on in your life you just don't have to deal with yet, not until you get up.

I took this picture today driving... even the palm trees look gloomy. On a better note I have a job interview tomorrow for something in Vegas. We need to skype soon Linda so I can tell you all the details-- lets just hope I get it. I miss you more than ever. Love you...

There is no time....

.... that is why I have not been bloging because I can't seem to find the time, to much school work and working at the hospital, but I promise, I will try to be better.

Alot has happend in this few days, Alaura we have to skype and talk about everything and nothing soon. I miss you like crazy, it has been too long now since our last skype date. This weekend I'm going home to my mami, to spend the weekend, my brother is having his big 20. Can't believe that he is 20 years old, and he is also competing in the Swedish Championships this weekend, so as his big sister I will be there supporting him. I will take pic's.

  I'm not the only one who's tired...

Me and Sara, we have come to the conclusion that we suffer from Dysania <--- the state of finding it hard to get out of bed in the morning.

Happy B-day little brother <3

Happy Valentine's day!

San Francisco

This weekend Nate and I decided we would be each other's Valentines. It was a rough year for us with him gone in the Army and me away in Sweden. He has been my best friend since I was 13 years old. He never fails to make me happy by treating me like a Queen all the time. We stayed at the W in San Francisco, he took me for a delicious dinner at a steakhouse and we went out to Ruby Sky after. It was a great way to celebrate.

A little too much fun...

Today we had two exams... Yes it's true, we always have exams on saturdays in my school, sucks... but what  can you do, thats the way the have it in Nursing school. But that also means that me and my nurse mates get togheter later, we call it "tenta öl" here in Sweden, and that means " exam beer"... Sometimes we have a little to much fun... Here are some pics from our latest "tenta öl"....

P.s I have some happy news, my beautiful cousin is coming from Paris to visit me in 19 days, can't wait... wish that you could be here with us Alaura, miss you so much my friend and I think about you everyday.

Me and my cousin Sarah

California Sun

Today I woke up with a list of things to do.


1. Business presentation to work on
2. accounting homework
3. public relations paper
4. Go into my old job (consider working there again) talk to general manager -- gosh he is a hottie ;)
5. Go talk to the hiring manager at M.A.C. for potential job
6. clean the empty house I'll be in by myself for 2 weeks -- everyone is in Canada
7. catch up with an old high school ..... (tonight)

However, even though I had this huge list the first thing I thought about was getting my workout in! I saw this old picture of when I was a lot thinner taking photos for a portfolio on a private beach. I have until late June to get there again so that Linda and I can run naked through the private beaches of California. Sounds fun right??

Give us sunshine in Stockholm...

Don't Cry

I feel so sad that I am not in Sweden right now. I wish I was there to comfort and be the rock to a broken heart. It's painful to have someone then wake up the next day and not have them at all. Linda and I both know this because we had to deal with it with each other. One day we were having our cozy slumber party and the next day I was on a plane back to California. It's very hard. However, Linda and I also know what its like to love hard. We were both in 4 year relationships and they ended very painfully. I think that I have learned so much from mine that my heart simply can not be hurt ever again. I do think that Linda was kind to one and for that reason alone she is hurting now and I am not there to wipe her tears away.

Linda, don't worry because there is light a the end of your tunnel. I know that for sure. Count your blessings when you feel sad because you really do have so many. Think about California, the sun, palm trees, beach bodies and all the fun we are going to have. I love you friend. And even though I am worlds away I am always here.
