Happy Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY -- Linda Malmgren. It's so crazy that you are now Malmgren. Something I really have to get used to. Vegas was amazing, your wedding was beautiful. But right now I wish I was all the way in Stockholm, celebrating your birthday with you. I wish you another year of happiness and blessing. I love you to the moon and back!!!

The Past 3 Years

The last blog was posted on November 3, 2011. It is now November 13, 2014. Wow! Where have the last three years gone??? To also think that I have only been back to Sweden once since our last post, saddens me. However, you Morris and Milton are scheduled to arrive in Las Vegas, meeting me here January 26. I can not wait. So much has happened since my living in Stockholm. We both have moved, we are both in different relationships and you now have a gorgeous baby boy. Life seems to pass you by so quickly. Looking back at our posts is the reason why we must continue to write and blog. It's so refreshing to read about our time together, our time apart and everything in between. I miss you so much, my friend. I cant wait to see you literally in a few short 74 days ;)

These where taken the last time I visited Sweden.

I was so happy I got to finally meet Milton.

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)!!
