Downtown Livin Way Up High

So this past weekend I moved. I moved about 10 minutes away from my house to Downtown. I moved into the 360 Residences, which are high rise condos. I am really enjoying it but have been having so much trouble figuring out a decorating plan for my bedroom. This is the advertisement on the website for my new place. My place looks very similar.

Here are some ideas I have been looking at for my room. What do you think???

Catch Up

I am sitting in class right now. Thinking about all the things I have to get done today.
1. Finish classes (4:15 pm)
2. Submit graduation forms for Spring 2012 graduation
3. Hair appointment at 5:30 pm
4. Tanning
5. Nails
6. Pack for my flight tomorrow.

I have to get all that done and although its all minor stuff its a lot for such a short amount of time. My flight leaves out of San Francisco tomorrow at 7 am. So early-- my sister Amanda is taking me :)

Today I am going back to dark hair I am kinda nervous because it took me so long to get to the blonde I wanted.. lets see how it turns out.

Another Week Gone By...

Mi amor!!! I am so sorry you were sick? I hope by now with your antibiotics having kicked in you are feeling better???

I haven't blogged for a whole week. It was exactly this time during my Monday night International Marketing class that I last blogged. Another week gone by and it doesn't even feel like it. We haven't talked all week, 7 days too long to go without hearing your voice. The weeks are going by faster and faster and I think it is because I am so busy with school and work. However, I did get together last Thursday night with Dom and Athina. We brought you up and wished you were with us. We had fun. Walked from Dom's condo to this little bar and had some drinks. It was nice having a night with the girls.

 I went to the gym the other day and ran into a friend. Her little sister is going to Stockholm in November and really wants me to go with her. She wants me to go so she can feel more comfortable in a country unfamiliar to her. I haven't really talked to her about it much but OMG how great would that be. Flights are so expensive right now so we will see. I miss you so much. If I could go there next month I would be so happy!!

Worlds Away

With the comfort of our IPhones we are able to communicate with people who are living all over the world. However, Stockholm Sweden and California in the United States are still a 9 hour difference. Different continents, cultures especially the weather. This week it is getting a little cooler where I live, but it is so hot. It is crazy how drastic the difference is in our climates. I wish I was living in the cool breeze with leaves of bright colors like red and orange. It's too hot and I am getting tired of it. Today was the coldest we have had in a while. I need to find a way to Sweden I miss the snow (and my moon boots)!!

Lost without the iphone.

its weird how a phone can become so important to you, I have not heard Alaura's voice in 3 weeks and I really miss talking to her. Her phone brook so she has to wait until she gets it back. and we have both been really busy with work and internships that we have not been able to be on the computer to talk on skype.

ALAURA I MISS YOU, GET YOUR IPHONE BACK SOON SO WE CAN TALK!!

P.s I got a Macbook now so we can ichat :) or facetime.

One more Week!!

As exciting as this post is for me it is even more exciting for you because you are 9 hours ahead of me. Today is Thursday for me and next thursday you land here in San Francisco!!! I can't believe it-- one week, 7 days and I get to have you back all to myself LOL.... This is the beautiful city in which your plane will land.

Well, we just got off of Tango/Skype it gets me so much more excited when I get to talk to you about it. It seems so long ago that we were together in Sweden. It seems like 5 months apart is so long yet at the time it seems to have flown by. I just hope this next week flies by the exact same way. Then once you are here time slows down so if feels like you are here longer than 18 days....

Well, mi amor I'm going to end this post now. I need to start preparing for your arrival... I love you and lucky for me I only have to miss you for 7 more days!!!!
