exciting day

So.. I'm back ;)
had a exciting morning at work today, I'll tell you.
First we celebrated Lucia ofcourse. The kids were soooo cute, just adorable,many small Lucias, Santas etc..unfortunely we're not allowed to take pictures of the kids for private use so I couldn't take any pics :( Then we had saffronbuns, gingercockies and so with the parents. Really nice and cosy :) So far so good, but then it started..
First we lost power for a while. Luckily the cook had finished the porrige so we started to prepear breakfast and put the kids at the table, even though it was pretty dark- thank God for candles :) Then the light came back but then the firealarm went of instead, *sigh*, so it was just to take the kids and run outside- in just socks and the clothes they had on..the poor kids were freezing when we stood outside waiting to get to know what happend so we could go in. After a while we could go in and got to know that the batteries to the alarm were going bad and when the power came back the bad batteries made the alarm go off..
We finally had breakfast and I could continue cleaning.. wee :) exciting morning huh?!

Have a had a pretty calm afternoon at home..carried some empty boxes to my storageroom in the basement, have danced some, and I have made some sweets (knäck). yuuum :) maybe I'll bring some to work tomorrow..

One of my brother´s called earlier. I was supposed to go home to Delsbo by truck with him next Friday evening but now his boss had called and said that they aren't gonna drive north on the 21:st ´cause they can't load ´cause it's closed :( so now I have to take the Friday off and go on Thursday night or take a very very expensive train on Friday afternoon or Sunday.. sigh sigh.. but nothing to do..

Getting tired. Think I'm gonna read some and go to bed..

I like my apartment. Feels good!! have lived here for a week soon.. time flies buy. Have unpacked some stuff but not everything.. taking a little at time..

I'm still walking around with a cold & stuffy nose :( sigh..so enoying.. so except then working I haven't done so much this week. Have been so tired and my head has felt blown up and have bothered me.
But yesterday I were in church after work.Helped out at the "alpha course". It was the last time before x-mas so they had x-mas food for food.. yuuum!! :) then they had a short gathering in church with a very simple service.. me and Malin danced the blessing. Sooo strong and powerful.My knees were so week.. you could feel & see that they were moved.. love it when the dance speaks like that!!

I'm so happy and relived!!! :) don't know if I have written about it here in my blogg but I have to move on the last on this month ´cause the girl that has the apartment comes back. And today I got to know that I get on apartment that one of my friends knew about and I looked at!! so know I have somewhere to move too and the contract is mine. So I can stay there for as long as I want to. Sooo happy!!! the apartment is nice and I can't wait to move and get my own place where I can do as I want! and just the feeling to know that I can stay as long as I like and not need to worry about when I have to move or not really know when the person that has the apartment comes back... God is good :)

yesterday I visited my brother with family in Alingsås. My brother worked so it was my sister-in-law and the kids that I saw.. had an awesome time, sooo nice!! she's just so great my dear Sofia.. we talked, took a walk to enjoy the sun. And I got to cuddle with the baby a lot :) she had a tummyace or something and where cranky so Sofia were tired of carrying her around. Aunt Maria didn't mind carrying her and cuddle :) it was a really blessed afternoon.. visited my friends & ex-coworkers in the kitchen too.. soo good to see them!! miss them but I'm happy I don't live there anymore..

well.. that were about it for now.. I'm dead tired but enjoying the feeling & knowledge that I can stay up longer tonight and sleep tomorrow. Work late. So good :)
Take care and have a great weekend!!

Tuesday evening..

I'm soo sorry that I haven't written this past week.. don't know what's up with me.. just doesn't haven the energy and the joy to wright.. but now you finally get an update :)

I'm so confused and frustrated.. why can't I come to peace? why can't I just live in the moment?? why do I feel so lonley and alone when I have all my friends?? why do I search more love and attention that I get?? sigh.. agree with you Emelie on what you wrote..

Except that it has been a good week.. the weekend were really good. On Friday evening some friends and I went to a mass/service in a church in Gotheburg.. peacuful and calm but yet touching and restoring!! afterwards we sat down at a café and talked and just hung out. So nice!! my friends are just to funny and just so awesome!!

On Saturday morning I did some laundry and relaxed.. then I went to see my friend Karin that I haven't seen in a while. We hung out at her & her boyfriend's place- talked, had dinnner, watched a movie.It was awesome!! soo good to see her!! In the evening Alexandra and I went to a café and then we visited Fredrik, Peter came too. Just talkd and took it easy, but soo nice!! left at 1.30am.. :)

woke up pretty early on Sunday so I were kind of tired and so the whole day. Were home relaxing, took a walk and so.. Then I went to church. Good service. Claes were good and challanging.. got reminded about something and it just stung in my heart, started to cry :( thought I were over that and had peace with it, but obviously not.. sigh. got a quick prayer and blessing from Claes. felt nice and comforting! just waiting to get healed..
After church about 8 people went to Sam's, jenny's & Jonas's place. Had tea and talked.. nice! then we wanted to have ice-cream and took a walk to "the golden arches".But the ice-creammachine were out of order :( *cry* so all of us had pie instead.. not bad that eather..

tonight I'm gonna go to bed early.. got waaay to little sleep last night so I'm dead tired. Have just had a shower and now I'm gonna get something to eat.. Tomorrow I'm gonna visit my brother and his family.. will be awesome!

ooh..my sister sent me some pics of her daughter,my niece, and proud aunt as I am I can't resist posting them :) isn't she adorable?!

The woman..

When God created woman he was working late on the 6th day. An angel came by and said: “Why spend so much time on that one?”And the Lord answered: “Have you seen all the specifications I have to meet to shape her? She must be washable, but not made of plastic, have more than 200 moving parts which all must be replaceable and she must function on all kinds of food, she must be able to embrace several kids at the same time, give a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart and she must do all this with only two hands.
”The angel was impressed. “Just two hands…impossible! And this is the standard model?! Too much work for one day…Wait until tomorrow and then complete her.”“I will not”, said the Lord. “I am so close to complete this creation, which will be the favourite of my heart. She can cure herself when sick and she can work 18 hours a day.”
The angel came nearer and touched the woman. “But you have made her so soft, Lord.”“She is soft,” said the Lord, “But I have also made her strong. You can’t imagine what she can endure and overcome.””Can she think?” the angel asked.The Lord answered: “Not only can she think, she can reason and negotiate.
”The angel touched the woman’s cheek. “Lord, it seems this creation is leaking! You have put to many burdens on her.”“She is not leaking…it’s a tear” the Lord corrected the angel. “What’s it for?” asked the angel.And the Lord said: “Tears are her way of expressing grief, her doubts, her love, her loneliness, her suffering and her pride.”This made a big impression on the angel. “Lord you are genius. You thought of everything. The woman is indeed marvellous!”

Indeed she is! Women have strengths that amaze men. She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens. She holds happiness, love and opinions. She smiles when feeling like screaming. She sings when she feels like crying, cries when she is happy, and laughs when she is afraid. She fights for what she believes in. She stands up against injustice. She doesn’t take “no” for an answer, when she can see a better solution. She gives herself so her family can thrive. She takes her friend to the doctor when she is afraid. Her love is unconditional.She cries when her children are victorious. She is happy when her friends do well. She is glad when she hears of a birth or a wedding.Her heart is broken when a next of kin or friend dies. But she finds the strength to get on with life. She knows that a kiss and a hug can heal a broken heart.There is only one thing wrong with her.

She forgets what she is worth...

New week..

Sorry that I haven't written for a while.. I'm ashamed.. I know that at least one of you have been worried. You know how you are.. thanks for caring!!! :) it was awesome to talk to ya on icq the other day.. Don't know why I haven't written. I guessed the time has passed by so fast and when I have had the time to write I haven't felt like it..

Have had good 2,5 weeks since last time.. have been a little tired and kind of empty and I have been thinking a lot. Don't know what it is with me now. Think a lot about the future and my relationships and so..guess something is on it's way. A breakingpoint of some kind. But I've been enjoying my weeks and felt okay most of the time anayways.. strange how the mood can change and affect your life..

Still love my job.. really enjoy working there!! Have worked some with the kids too theese past weeks.. awesome!! Other then work I have been trying to be home and relax and I actually have had the oppurtunity to do that, soo nice!! and I have also hung out with my friends. Blessed weeks with a good mix with rest and company.. and I have been talking a lot to my friend Maria.. awesome!!

Last Friday we went out to eat to celebrate Sara's birthday. We went to a tai restaurant and afterwards we went to Sara´s place.. had such a good time!! my friends are to funny :) looove them!! fooled around a lot :)

We had a reopening of my church last Sunday..such a blast!! the whole evening were so blessed.. the service, the sermon, worship, the coffee afterwards.. everything came together so well!! and it' so fun to be part of a church that grows and has to expend! my coworker came just to see me dance.. and she thought it(the mass) was so good and awesome so she came yesterday too.. :)

This past Saturday we had a danceworkshop with a lady named Lena. Good & inspiring day!!! but you're tired after a day with dance, but I can't complain- good to fel that you have a body & muscles :) In the evening some friends of mine and I went to the movies- we saw Solstorm.A Swedish movie.. it was good but a little tired and made me feel uncomfortable sometimes. But it was good..

well.. that was a little update from me.. Today I'm having a day at home.. done the dishes, vaccumed the floors and now I'm gonna transfer the film from Saturday( the danceworkshop) to my computer. Then I need to go to the mall and do some arrends.

Finally weekend...

I have waited for this moment.. a day/weekend without nothing planned, no where to go and nothing to get in time to. Soo nice!! Have had a busy week and have been sooo tired.. have been having a headace the whole week :(
Have been working as usual- first week with my new schedule.. I'm off Mondays now instead of Fridays. In that way I can hang out with my friends or play indoor-bandy after church on Sunday evenings :) Have to work late Fridays to be able to be of on Mondays but it's okay, I end at 18.30 so I have time to do stuff after that :)

On Tuesday after work I had planned to go home and relax 'cause I had a meeting in the evening- planning for a conference. But I got stuck in church, as usual.. took a nap, sat outside in the sun writing a letter and talked with Maria while she was doing some yardwork.. really nice! the planning went well.. but got to bed way to late..
On Wednesday I met with Fredrik to cook for the alphacourse on Thursday evening.. it all went okay and it was fun!! after that I met with my co-worker Maria- I know, many Marias around me :) we strolled at the mall and then went to "the golden arches" as me & my friends say.. McDonalds is a more wellknown name..
On Thursday I was dead tired.. but managed worked anyway and got to help out with the kids too.. after that I went home and had a nap and took a shower. Then it was time to go to church and to serve the alphacourse the soup Fredrik & I made. it was appriciated and liked!!
Yesterday I got to sleep in- slept 10,5 hours!!! sooo nice! then off to work and after work we had a kick off with work. We went bowling and had dinner.. sooo nice and so fun!! my co-workers are just to crazy and fun :) had a good time!!

so as you can guess.. I'm really looking forward to a calm and relaxed weekend after this week. Although it has been fun..
Gonna make myself some breakfast now..

It was over my expectations!! it's really nice!!! awesome to see all my classmates and friends! had lots of fun! were tired but could enjoy it anyways. Had a really good time!! awesome to see Bengt, our old teacher! he's the same, lost some weight though.
I changed my mind and wanted to spend the night so I stayed at my brother´s place and had breakfast with Maja, Anna and Sofia´s sister.. so soft & nice!! Then they went to the hospital to see the baby and I went to see my friends and go to the service and have lunch.. then it was time to say good by to everyone :( went straight to my church, my praying group had the service so we had some things to prepare. It all went okay and it was a really nice service. Claes had an really touching and thoughtworthy sermon.. and the worship were awesome! :)

Leadership Summit

That's the name on the leadership conference I have been to theese past days.. it was awesome as usual. It's a conference that Willow creek church in Chicago hosts/has in July/August somtime. They film it and send out dvd:s to looots of cities all over the world that arranges a conference in September where they show the seminares.. works really good even though it's on dvd.. Here in Sweden they has it in Umeå, Stockholm, Jönköping and Gothenburg.
Willow creek is really good at leadership, their senior pastor Bill Hybels is awesome!! and they invite several famous speakers from for example churches, politics, entertainment, the military that has experience and knowledge from leadership. This year they had for example Colin Powel, John Ortberg, Richard Curtis(maker of for example Notting hill, mr bean, love actually, 4 weddings & one funeral), Jimmy Carter(ex president), Carly Fionina(ex MD/chairman of H.P)..

It was really inspiring, thoughtworthy and good. Lots of things to take in and work with. Both for me personaly as a leader and my church/congregation in whole. Really nice to go on something like that together and i't really good that the staff/team in church invities us volontaries to come with...

Other than that I haven't done that much this past days.. worked on Thursday and then we had tuition in church. And Friday & Saturday night we were all so tired after the conference so we didn't had the energy to do something..
I have gotten sick again.. I'm hoarse and coughs again and my nose is a little runny.. sigh.. will be a easy and calm day at home..

Have a good week!!
love

Midweek..

so, it's wednesday.. the middle of the week.. time passes by so fast!
Had a really calm and relaxing weekend.. on Saturday I were just home reading and listening to the radio. soo nice!! I also took a walk in the sun.. really nice day, exactly what I needed. Alexandra came by in the evening. We watched tv and talked.. and had chocolatecake with whipped cream.. yuum :) we had a really nice time..

Sunday too were spent at home reading and with a walk.. then I took the bike church..
we had such nice weather this weekend so I took the chace to enjoy it as much as I could :) thought I were going to be really sick when I relaxed and took it easy but luckily I got better and my cough disapeared and my throught had gotten better and better this past days and my voice is back. Feels good!!

Worked on Monday as usual.. when I arrived to work I saw that I had recieved an sms(textmessage) on my way there. Got kind of surprised. Who sends on sms at 5am?? it was a really nice surprise, it was from one of my brothers :) He wrote: "beep beep. Good morning. Have a good day". Made me smile.. he drives a truck sometimes and obviously he drove to Gothenburg this time and drove past my house :) I live right by the highway..

Had an meeting yesterday evening so I hung out in church after work- rested, made some phonecalls and so.. nice, but I were sooo tired, but couldn't skip the meeting. Had responsibility for the refreshments, and I wanted to go the meeting so. I love all the things I'm involved in but sometimes it gets just to much.. need to sort out some of them and clear my schedule so I have time be home and relax, but all the things I do are fun, that's the problem..

Today I got my paycheck!!:) and tomorrow I'll finally get money from the state for the summer. About time!! a biiig burden lifted from my shoulders. Went shopping in Gothenburg today :) Needed to by some stuff really badly. Started out with lunch at "the golden arches"(a surtain fastfood reataurant) and then I strolled around; bought jeans, underwear, t-shirts/tops, got some pictures developed and mailed a package to my brother with some gifts for the twins.. I called a friend that I haven't seen for a long time and asked if she could meet with me and she could :) so we took a "fika" at a café and talked. relly nice!!
It was really nice just to stroll, look around and so.. long time ago..

Got a little worried when I got home though.. first I meet a guy that lives in the door nextdoor comming out from his outerdoor talking on the phone. Nothing strange with that, but when I entered the code to my outerdoor it wouldn't work and I saw that he couldn't get back in through his door. I had my keys so I could get in but he hadn't brought his keys so I went to open his outerdoor for him. When I walked in my door the lights in the stairways wouldn't work and when I came into my apartment the lights didn't work, and the fridge and frezzer were of.. =we had lost the power :( don't think it had been gone for long 'cause the fridge & frezzer were still cold but I got kind of worried and tried to call the energy/electricitycompany but couldn't come forward.. and shortly after that the power came back! luckily..

and now I'm sitting infront of the computer.. and Grey's anatomy starts.. So I gotta go :)
over and out...

"Hajk"+pictures

Ich bin krank..

The cold that's going around at my job(the daycare) has cought me... Woke up with pain in my throught some days ago. Luckily it disapeared during the day but instead I started to cough some and got "thick" in my throught.. sigh, just hate it.. and the day after I started to get hoarse and loose my voice and I have been feeling my sinus and having a small headace the last day too. Hope it doesn't get worse. Will make sure to rest a lot and get better this weekend...

Have been working although I haven't feeling 100%, but I felt I wasn't that bad that I could stay home. Many of the teachers at my job has the flue now and many of the kids are at home.. on one division/department they had 7 kids out of about 20 yesterday.. pretty amazing huh?? 13 out of 20 were sick or having the day off.. nice for the teachers though :)

So,Hellen. how's everything going at your parent's place?? have they left yet?? how's the pukung cow doing?? such hialriuos story.. :)

Today I have mostly been relaxing at home, have only met with my conversionalbudy for a chat. Awesome!! We had a really nice chat. I have more piece now. Always good to air one's thoughs,feelings.. :)

I have gotten my bike back :) Finally!! Have been waiting for it to be done for almost two weeks so it were about time. Walked by a family in church to say hi after work today. Drank coffee and talked. Really nice! Then the dad came home and he called the bikerepairshop to see if our bikes were done(he and I left ours at the same time).. they were! so we went to get them. Awesome to have the bike back! After that I had supper with that family. So nice to hang out and have company and not have to eat alone!!!

I'm soo tired.. went to bed at 8p last night. Totally exhausted after the weekend. Got up ay 4.30 this morning to go to work.. not fun to get up that early but what can i do.. Don't wanna work evenings..
Had an awesome weekend!! Had a camp with my church/congrigation. Were tired but it was good. Nice to be gathered like that, eat good food, celebrate masses and have seminaries. It was an fantastic & inspirational weekend but dazeling & confusing. God were moving and tuched.. awesome!!! I'm glad I'm gonna talk with my conversional budy on Friday, can't wait!! lots of thoughts now..

well... time to go to bed so I'll be human tomorrow:)

Tuesday...

Had an awesome time at my friend´s summercabbin!! We were about 15 people and ate looots of food. We started out with a taisoup with fish and vegetables. Yuum!! Then we had shrimps, crabfish and crab.. soo good!! yum yum :) I have never had crabfish and crab before but it was good, tasted like shrimps and fish. After we had eaten we took a walk in the dark down to the harbour, watching the stars and the ocean. Awesome, just so beutiful!! Two jumped into to the water and took a bath...
When we got back we had ice-cream and fruit- now it´s almost midnight. Some people went home but most of us stayed over night. We didn't go to bed until 3. We slept in and enjoyed a long and really nice breakfast on the deck :) The sun was shining and it was pretty warm, but windy. We had planned to go out with the boat but it was to windy so we took a long walk in a nearby village instead. Sooo cute and pictursque!! Awesome view over the archipelago. It's a shame that I don't own a digitalcamera. Need to buy one!!! But I'll try to remember to scan some pics and post when I get the film developed..

Don't think I have told you all, but on Saturday night on my home from a friend(after a movienight) I crashed with my bike. Went right into a bar/gate..

Weddingmarsch from Delsbo

I'm here again.. in a writing mood this weekend.. hope you don't mind :)

were surfing the net, just serching at google on different things and found a place where you could listen to "weddingmarsch from Delsbo" (Delsbo brudmarsch). Made me so happy and made me miss my loved home.. klick on the link and listen.. you will for sure hear it on my wedding, if & whenever that now will take place.. http://www.skrapan.uppsala.se/Musik/delsbo_brudmarsch.htm

Went to a friend's place last night to watch a movie.. soft and nice! we saw "snowroller" and "den ofrivillige golfaren". Swedish movies from the 80:s and 90:s for you that aren't from swedish. They are funny and just so silly.. Snworoller makes fun of grouptravels/skitrips to the alps and "den ofrivvilge golfaren" (the involuntary golfer) is about people that plays golf and are so into it.. the director is right on the spot and describes it so good!

Well..that's it for now.. bye for so long.. auf wiederzen! Tchüss!!

ashes of phoenix..

Just wanted to say a good world about some boys in church and their band "Ashes of phoenix". They have played together for almost 2 years now and they only get better and better. They played at the opening of "The house of culture" today.. awesome!! Check out their myspace page and listen to some songs... :)

Nice!! awesome to see him! we walked to the opening and after we walked around in the House of culture, listened to music(ashes of phoenix) and so. Really nice! Now I have had some dinner and I'm watching tv.. will maybe meet with some friends tonight and watch a movie.

Lazy day

Have had a really really soft and lazy day.. just been home watching tv, cleaning up in my apartment and so.. took my bike to the groccerystore in the afternoon, needed some fresh air :) Needed this day.. have been so tired this week even though I was pretty alert on Monday. Slept ten hours the night to today.. sooo nice!! awesome to sleep in some.
On Tuesday I went home after work and relaxed, then I went to church. Hung out some and printed some papers I needed to the boradmeeting that were later that night. The boardmeeting went okay, nice to see the other ones in the council/board!! and they decided that they would pay the dancedays in Uppsala I went to last weekend. I'm not the one to complain :)

Wednesday I went to the gym after work. So nice!! Haven't been working out since before summer. Need to get going with it again so to keep my back okay and strong. Yesterday I had been looking forward to sleep in 'cause I start to work late but no, they called at 7.15 and asked if I could come and work at one of the departments with the kids. And kind as I am I said yes and got up even though I were tired. It was fun and nice to work with the kids and get to know them better.. they are so sweat :) after I were done working with the kids I had to clean.. nice huh?? from one job to another.. went over the toilets, halls, departments quick but made sure it became clean. In that way I didn't have to go there today.
After work I had a meeting again.. I'm in this group that plan a conference and we had a meeting yesterday. It went okay and was nice. It's going okay with all the prepearations..

So after this week it was soo nice to be off and be able to be home today!! Will be a calm weekend I think.. maybe I'll go to the mall & stroll and there's an opening for a House of coulure here in Partille. Maybe I'll go there.. we'll see.

Take care and have a great weekend!
love & hugs

awesome weekend

Have had an awesome weekend!! Were tired last week as I wrote but I went to Uppsala anyways on Friday. A Christian organisation for worshipdance(Christian dance fellowship in Sweden) had their anual meeting and workshops. So much fun and so nice!!It was really inspiring and encouraching!! So fun to meet other people that have a passion for dance and using your body to praise the Lord and make new friends!!
For example we learned how to use technoflags- flags that has some weights on two sides and you hold them in your hands and you can spin them in different ways to make them to differents things.. really cool! And we also got a vers from the bible to give form to with dance/drama. un! Really touched me to see the verses come alive!!
But Saturday night and the mass on Sunday morning was the best I think. Really encouraged and gave hope.. It was sooo strong, mighty, powerful and filled with love.. such precence! It was exactly what I needed and it spoke right to my heart.. God is good!! :) If you wanna know what happens you can send an e-mail or right a comment and I'll tell..

Came home around 9.30pm last night and thought I should be awefully tired today but actually I have been pretty alert and not so tired as last week. Wierd, but I don't complain :) Was fun to work today. Talked alot with one of the preschoolteachers today, she's just so nice and soo funny! Had a blast!! and another one that I come along really good with and have talked a lot with started early today so I got to have coffee and talk with her.. so nice!!

Well.. soon time to start prepearing for bed if I'm gonne get my beutisleep :)
Take care!

Up to work yesterday.. the daycare was closed for the staff had a day of planning so I didn't do my regular cleaning and instead I cleaned doors, trims and so.. Today I was so tired but managed through the day anyway. After work I went by church to drop some things I have borrowed and to say hi to my friends.. and as usual I got stuck talking with people.. Claes, Maria, Jonas to name a few.. and then I helped to rinse out a storage.. Nice to hang out and help but got home much later then I thought.. so the walk I had planned to take never happend.. gotta take one tomorrow instead.. and tomorrow I don't have to go to bed early.. start late on Thursday. Joy!!! :) gonna be so nice to sleep in..

weekend..

Thought I should start with clearyfie what I work with for you that haven't read my blog during the summer. I have gotten a job as a jantitor/cleaner at a daycare/day nursery here in Partille. I work 25hours/week. Totally okay.. start at 6am Monday-Wednesday. that's the hard part,soo early but I start late on Thursdays and I'm off on Fridays so it's okay :) The kids are cute & the staff is really nice!

Went to the movies on Wednesday with a friend. Saw "Evan, the almighty". It was good and pretty funny but not as good as "Bruce the almighty". Had a nice time though and it was awesome to see Karin, haven't seen her in a long time!!

Thursday I worked, soo nice to start late!! had an soft evening at home afterwards..
yesterday I were just home realxing some and I took the bike a friend and had him help me with the breaks on my bike. Kind of dangerous to ride downhills without functioning breaks. In the evening I went to see two friends. Played games and just hung out. Soft & nice :)

Today a girl in church is having a birthdayparty so I think I might my going there, if I don't hang out with Maria or something.. will be a soft day anyways :)
love

First days at my new job..

Sitting here, pretty tired. I have been working for three days now. I like it and it's okay except that I have to get up at 5 in the mornings.. sigh.. luckily it's just three dags/week.. Thursdays I'll take a later shift so I can be off on Fridays.. :)

The staff at the daycare is nice and have helped me settle in. I have gotten into the routins pretty good already.. just gonna make a schedule over when I clean where so my "co-workers" now where I'll clean and can plan after that- and of course I plan my cleaning after where they are and what they´re doing.

I have coffebreaks and breakfast with the kids & staff or the cook/chef. Nice to be able to do that and not have to have breaks on my own! It's not the most fun job to clean but the ones around me makes it okay..and it's an important job. It need to be done and they appriate it.

I feel like going to the movies tonight. I start at 12.30 tomorrow so tonight I don't have to go to bed early :) hopefully I'll get someone to join to the movies...
Have a good one!

laundry and baking

woke up pretty early this morning and couldn't go back to sleep :( but oh well, maybe it was good so I get used to get up early when I start working.. started out with putting some clothes in the washer and then I made a dough so I could make buns.. it's the first time I made it, went smooth!! I had brekafast while the dough rised.The buns came out really good and .. had some with a cup of coffee .. yuuum!! nice lunch huh ;)

Didn't go as well with the laundry. When I went down to the laundryroom to put the clothes in the dryer the dryer wouldn't work.. *sigh*.. so I had to hang my clothes in the "drying room",don't know if it's called that in English- it's room whith big fans where you hang your clothes to dry. Well, that wasn't such a big deal but after 2-3 hours the clothes hadn't even started to get dry.. now I got cranky and fussy. couldn't believe it.So it was just to bring the clothes upstairs 'casue there was someone washing clothes after me and my clothes would have had to hang there forever to dry.. so now I have clothes everywhere in my apartment.. puuh.. good thing I have some chairs, kitchensofa and doors that I can hang clothes on.. :)

Well..that's my day.. oh, I have been reading a lot too.. I'm reading this really exciting book, can hardly let go of it.. but finally I mangaged and took a walk, sooo humid and hot outside.. were all sweaty when I got back.. made some dinner and sat in front of the tv.. and here I'm. Thinking about calling some friends and see if they have any plans. Ot maybe take a tour on my bike. If it has cooled of that is..
Take care!

Thursday..

Thursday today,the week has passed by so fast. oh my.. I start working on Monday! can't belive it, that it's already time.. have som anxiety and don't feel like starting at all :/ but I have too and I'm sure it will be okay when I'm there and get started. Will be nervous of course but I know how to clean and I'll get into the routines fast I hope..

Have been feeling wierd and blue this week, been feeling kind of low and lonley but I have survived and it goes away in the afternoon.. guess it's because I'm free and have noting planned and no routines.. the week has been relaxed and soft and good despite my mood.

Fredrik's birthdayparty on Sunday evening was nice!! we were very few people there but it was nice and fun!! talked and listened to music!! went to ikea earlier in the day with Sara. Nice!!
Monday I were just home and relaxed.. saw some tv and so..
Tuesday was really nice and warm!! sooo nice!! started out the day with some cleaning- washed my windows, dusted the trims and my tv-shelf and vaccumed. Feels soo good!! afterwards I went to Sara´s place and hung out in the sun, talking, reading a book and so.. wacthed some tv later on in the evening..
Yesterday it was suppossed to rain and thunder so me and a friend decided to go to the mall and stroll.. we did and when we were done a few hours later the sun was shining and no rain in sight.. so we went to a lake and took a a walk, had ice-cream and enjoyed the sun. So nice :) If we had known that it wasn't gonna rain we hadn't gone to the mall. But we had a ncie time and it was awesome to see him! and we got to enjoy the sun so :)

oh, have forgotten to tell.. got my first tick this past weekend. A small black thing on my belly. Pretty unpleasant. Saw it after I had showered on Sunday morning.. luckily I could take it away without problems but afterwards I have gotten some strange small red spots on my belly and on my arms.. but they are going away so I guess it was some bites from some reall really small bug/flea in the grass or something..

Well.. have a great Thursday and weekend!! I'm gonna take a ride on the bike now..
love

Sunday..

Didn't go to Delsbo.. changed my mind when I were in Jönköping.. couldn't decided and were shilly-shllaying and finally I had to take a decision and then I went back to Partille. Don't know if it was right but nothing to do about now. I'm sad that I didn't get to see my brother & fiance and the babies but there will be more oppertunities.. and I have had some really nice days down here, I really have!!

Had really nice days in Jönköping!! itwas nice to see Sofia and hang out some with her.. and then meet Magdalena and Helena. Awesome!! soft days with some sun, ice-cream, stroll in city and so. And Magdalena cut my hair! Nice to be an a minivacation!!

Sunday..

So, the weekend has soon past. the time really passes by fast..

On Wednesday and Thursday I went to Skövde and the conferense that OAS had.. it was good but not as I thought; the worship and so wasn't at all what I had imagined. Don't know if it was me or if it was the whole thing.. felt like it never "took speed", never loosened.. but Thursday were much better then Wednesday!! Especially one service we went to, it wasn't at all what we have thought but I got really moved. It was so nice just to sit in the atmosphere, sing worship, let God do his think.. cried but it was well needed. Some things that had been bothering me and probably stoped God from working got better.. Had a good time though, met some people i know which was really nice!! meet a friend from my bibleclas that I haven't seen in 2 years or something. It was awesome to see her! and it was nice to get to focus on God!

Was tired on Friday so I was mainly home relaxing. Sara and I took a trip to Allum(the mall here in Partille) and looked around some. Were gonne have some coffee at a café when we met another friend so we went to him and had coffee instead, and ice-cream :) Talked and just hung out.. really nice!!

Yesterday I took a ride on my bike.. went by some friends from church and the indoorbandy and said hi. Had coffee and talked. Nice!! in the evening I went to Liseberg with some friends. We saw a show with a swedish magician(carl-einar häckner). He's really wierd and extreme sometimes but he's good and it was a fun & good show!! Then we walked around some and looked at people and "played" on the wheels/lotteries, but we didn't win anything :(

Today I have just been home, have been trying to have some time with and focus..have been si and so with that lately(except wednesday-thursday) so I felt like I need to start focus and listen again to "get on track" with my life again. Soon gonna met with Sara and have dinner and then we are going to church. Looking forward to that!!

Tomorrow or on Tuesday I'll start my drive towards Delsbo.. gonna stop in Jönköping to see some friends, can't wait!! then I'll stop by my brother and sister-in-law in Sthlm before I drive the last bit.. will be a nice I think :)
Take care!!

Tuesday evening..

Hello loves..
Have had some good days but the weather hasn't been the best though- it has been raining as usual. But the days has been filled with fun stuff.

The service on Sunday evening was good. A-P(the priest) had a god sermon and there was some worship which was a nice surprise 'cause we usually don't have worship in the service´s during the summer. It was really nice!! have longed to worship!!

Yesterday,Monday that is, started kind of slow but then a friend called and asked if I wanted to join her and another friend to the indoorpool and sit in the jacuzzi. It was awesome!! sooo nice; just sit and relax and talk in the warm water! the place was crowded, so many people with us had decided to spend the rainy day in the pool, but we had a nice time anyway.. Afterwards we went to Liseberg(amusmenstpark in Gothenburg) to see a singsong(sing-along). It was fun!! they had a 50:ties night, lots of cool songs to sing along with :)

Today started out easy. Were just home making some phonecalls, writing some e-mails and so. Then I took a ride on the bike. Went to drop of a roll of film for development and then I went by church and had coffee with Josefin and A-P. On the way from there I stoped by Maria's place and said hi to her. Talked some and then we went to the groccerystore.. had started to rain so I was sooking wet when I got home.. sigh.. but oh well, some water don't do any harm.. mostly anyways :)

Tomorrow I'm maybe going to a big conference in Skövde, haven't decided yet, but I'm going their on Thursday anyway.. can't wait! so long since I worshiped and got to focus on God in that way.. really looking forward to it!! :)

sweat dreams!!

Sunday..

Hello friends!
Have had good and nice days since last time I wrote. Have been feeling a little lonely and blue(down), have missed everyone at home in Delsbo, but I have had good days anyways as I wrote..

On Wednesday I had lunch with Alexandra and then we went to her place. Fredrik came too and we did some gardening; moved the lawn and so... it was nice!! had some ice-cream and cookies too - yuuum :)

On Thursday I went to our church summerplace where I knew Maria was working. Talked a little with her and listened to one of the priests talking about his journey to Brasil.. really interesting!! Then I went to Gothenburg to meet a friend-we walked around in town and sat down at a café. I was tired but it was nice to see him!!

On Friday I took a ride on bike and went to say hi to a family from church. It was awesome to see them!! Had coffee, picked some redcurrants, grilled hamburgers and had ice-cream. Just hung out, relaxed, enjoyed the sun, cuddled with their rabbits.. it was sooo nice!! Just what I needed.. their youngest is soo cute, just so adorable!!! Then I went to Alexandra and said good bye to her, she's in Croatia right now in her family's cabbin.

Yesterday I and some others helped a lady that goes to our church to renovate her new apartment.. so I ripped away carpets, painted roofs and walls, puttied(spacklade in Swedish). Had paint all over me, but it went away with some scrubbing in the shower.. It was really fun but exhausting to help out. Nice to do something physical and use your body.. kind of tired today but in a nice way..
Now I'm gonna go to the store.. my fridge is getting empty..
Take care!!
xoxo

Wednesday,midweek..

so, it's the middle of the week.. today it's cloudy and rainy but the past days it has been good weather. Especially Monday.. the sun was shining and it was warm, 25 degrees.. sooo nice!! :) I and some friends had decided to go for a ride with the car to Läckö slott, a castle outside Lidköping.. We couldn't had picked a better day, with the sun and warmth and everything.
On the way to Läckö we stoped in Trollhättan to see the waterfalls and locks/floodgates in Göta kanal(a river).. it was really nice!! we saw some boats beeing passed through the locks, facinating!! We stayed there for a while and enjoyed the weather and so. Then we contiuned to Läckö slott. There we sat down by the lake(Vänern) and had lunch and just relaxed in the sun. We took a tour on the castle and just enjoyed the surroundings. It was awesome!!! We left pretty late and stoped in Lidköping to get somehting to eat on the way home. We were home at midnight.. it was a really good day! Nice to do a daytrip like that.. a mini vacation.. :)

Yesterday it was supposed to rain a lot, but it didn't, at least not here in Partille. Took the bike "downtown" to go to the employmentservice and then I went to chruch to hang out with Maria for a while. She's alone up there this week, everyone else is on vacation. We talked, had lunch and so..so nice just to hang out and talk with her!
In the evening I went to the movies with some friends. We saw "Harry Potter and the Oder of Phoenix".. it's good. Not as exciting and thrilling and the one before but it was good. Afterwards we sat down ata café. Really nice!

Today I'm gonna do some laundry and maybe go to Alexandra´s place and help her out with some things.. Have a good day!
love

aunt again..

I'm an aunt again :) my oldest brother and his fiance became parents last night(night between Thursday-Friday). It was two small boys- Olov and Harry. Just talked with my brother on the phone. They are all doing just fine.. can't wait to see the babies in real life :)

Have had a good weekend so far. Went to Alexndra's place on Friday night to hang out with her and the others in our "gang".. we had ice-cream, candy and just hung out & talked. Really soft but nice. Yesterday morning I just took it easy at home, surfing around on the internet, watching tv and so. Then I took a tour on my bike just to get out and do something. Went to say hi to a friend, we watched "america´s funniest homevidoes" and talked. Then I went home to have something to eat and change my clothes. In the evening I went to Alexandra's place to watch "Pirates of the caribbean- dead mans chest" with her and the others. We hadn't seen it yet and we want to see the third one so we thought we gotta see this one first :) it's good, I liked it. Johnny Depp is sooo good in it! Can't wait to see the third one, that's on the theaters now.. Afterwards we watched the first "Pirates", it was a long time for us all since we saw it so we waned to refresh our memory.. it was a really nice and fun evening!! but I wasn't in bed until 2.. but who cares when you can sleep the day after :)

Today I'm just gonne relax, maybe go to Alexandra´s place and keep her company and then it's church in the evening.. have a good day!!

Happy Midsummer, or Glad Midsommar as we say in Sweden.
Me & my friends had fun at Liseberg.. walked around, played on the wheels and so.. nice! Afterwards Sara, Alexandra and I went up on a mountain in Partille to enjoy the view and look at old fort/castle. Then we drove around in some neighbourhood and looked at houses.. really nice.

Yesterday, Midsummereve, it rained and rained :( I had plans on going to some celebrations and watch the dance and so. But I didn't really feel like beeing outside in the rain so I stayed inside and relaxed and got some stuff done. In the evening I went to Alexandra to barbeque with some friends. We were about 10 people.. we had strawberries & ice-cream for desert... yuuum!! nothgin better then that in the summer :) we just hung out, played games and talked. Really nice! The last ones left at 3am.. I stayed over night and today Alexandra and I relaxed and then we went to the grosserystore. Have had a nice & peaceful evening at home. Watched TV & took a walk..soon going to bed.. have some sleep to catch in :)

Going home to Delsbo on Monday.. will be so nice!! haven't been home for long. But will miss my friends down here too, but I will see them soon. Can't wait to see my family!! I will write regulary and try post some pics too. I'll borrow my dads digitalcamera.. :)

soft days

Have had some nice days!! Alexandra came by on Monday evening and had some cake.. we're both tired so she didn't stay long but it was to get company for a while at least :) watched "extreme home makeover"- cried as usual when I see it. I have become so emotional and weak.. well well, it's kind of fun to see how they furnish, decorate the homes..

Yesterday I met with an old classmate in Alingsås. She had her daughter with her. We walked in town, looked in some shops and talked and then we had lunch.. really nice! it's awesome to see Magdalena.. she's so funny, just so cool.. just love her!! and after that I went to see "Nolan"(Gunilla), another ex classmate who lives right outside Alingsås. She and her husband became parents 1,5 month ago so I wanted to say hi and congratulate.. the baby is sooo cute :) it was good to see them all!! they live in this cute small house by a lake- just adorable and awesome view! we talked and just hang out and then we barbeqeud for dinner.. yuuum!! :)
It was a real nice day, awesome to see my friends and just hung out.. and enjoy the sun..

Today I have just been home. Have done some laundry and started packing for my trip home to mum & dad. Have been laying outside in the sun reading too.. soo nice!! reading this interesting book about a girl and her family in Polen during the secong world war...
Tonight I'm going to Liseberg(the amusmentpark in Gothenburg) with some friends.. will be fun!! =)

Birthday

So.. now I am 26.. doesn't feel any different but it feels surreal in some way. Kind of hard to belive but it's just to accept and be happy :)

On Thursday I took it easy and in the evening I went to town(Gothenburg) too see my friend Jenny. We sat down at a café. It was really nice. Good to ee her!!
On FRiday it was time to preper for the "party".. some friends came over in the evening to have cake and hang out. It was nice! good to see all of them! and a friend from my bibelschoolyear came too and stayed the night.. fun!! went to bed quiete late so I was so tired and lazy on Saturday. Just stayed at home..
Yesterday was the real birthday. A friend from church came by and we talked and so, then we went to church. Good service!! afterwards it was time for floorball- fuuun & so nice to run of some energy,adrenaline.. got some textmessages and phonecalls during the day.Nice!

Feel a little blue and off.. don't know why. Sigh.. have been kind of off the last days, but it culminated yesterday evening.. but oh well. Just need to relax and rest I guess.. but I hate theese days..
Today will be a soft day I think.. need to send some applications to some Schools..so maybe I'll go to church and print some papers and get that done.. but we'll see.
Have a good day!

Middle of the week

Sitting here with a cup of coffee & ice-cream watching Friends.. can it be better?? ;) took the bike to the store earlier today. It's windy and a little cooler today, but I don't mind though. It's nice that it cooled of.. kind of tired today so I have been home after the bikeride..

On Monday evening we had the last prayinggruoup for this term.. we went to a lake(Delsjön for you that know Gothenburg) and we took a bathe and barbequed.. soft and nice. Sad though that we won't see eachother until August. Some of the people brought their girl-/boyfriends. They are really nice and it's nice to see them, but it's our prayinggroup and when they bring other people we can't talk deaply as we usually do and we can't continue where we're last time. Talked with one of the leaders about it and she understood. She had thought about it too. Will miss them all..

Yesterday I took it easy in the morning, put away some papers and so.. then I took the bike to church.. oh man, I hate that hill up to church.. you're all sweaty when you get there :/ Hung out for some hours- talked with Maria, watered the lawn for her, had ice-cream with her & Josefin.. really nice!! Then I took the bike to the lake and took a bath.. really nice to cool of! Then then board of directors in church had their monthly meeting. I'm a substitute so I went to the meeting too.. it was giving & interesting.. ate strawberrys & ice-cream.. yuuum!! don't think there's anything better to eat :) it was a nice day. I like haning out in church :)

well.. I'll continue relaxing.. maybe take a walk later..
Take care!
love

day in the sun

yesterday was sweden's national day. Sara called a little before lunch and wanted to take a ride on the bike and get some ice-cream. Couldn't resist that, ice-cream lover as I am :) we had a good time and in the evening there was a worshipservice in church- it was awesome!!! took a while for the people to loosen up and focus and really praise but it was a good evening and God was there. Afterwards we went to Sara's place and had a barbeque.. no better way to celebrate a national day then to worship and thank God & pray for Sweden!! and afterwards just hang out with friends..

Today I have had a really soft and nice day in the sun!! went to church to talk to my conversitionalbudy for maybe the last time :( his time in my church is soon over *sad* but he will probably work in a church not to far away so I'll be able to talk with him now and then probably(but not as often as I have theese past years) but it's sad anyways..
after that I had lunch with my friend and some others that work in church.. sara came by too and we laid down outside in the grass and just relaxed while Maria cleared the weeds in the flower bed and watered the plants.. Soo nice, but waaarm - had some ice-cream,talked and so. I got a little red, the sun is so strong.. Fredrik came by too which was nice.Good to see him! Had some interesting talks and it was nice to get to talk to Maria some..

Now it's time to realx in front of the tv.. take care!
bless!
