Have had awesome days!! :) it's sooo good to be back!
Saturday we went to a birthdayparty. A typical american one with fruit & chips, pizza, bbq, cake, looots of presents, moon bounce and so forth.. we had a great time! In the evening the Stewarts wanted to take me out for dinner so we went to Red Lobster(it's by the dulles town center Hellen). I had chicken and rise with some shrimps.. yuuum!!
On Sunday I took a walk before the usual brunch, which we had when Vera & the kids came back from church. The brunch was good as always, Scott is a good cook!! :) After that Scott went to play golf and Vera, the kids & I just hang out in the house and relaxed.. Molly wanted to take a walk after supper so we did and then we watched a movie.Sister act 2. I like that movie..
Yesterday Vera ran som arrends while I and the kids hung out in the house, had lunch and then we went to the park. But it was kind of hot outside so we didn't stay that long. When Vera came back and had had lunch we did some more arrends.. busy but good day.
It's kind of surreal to be back but as you can tell I'm enjoying it :) So much nostalgia.. all theese places you have been to so many times and now you see again. The neighorbourhood, the roads.. it's amazing..
Right now the girls are at summerschool and Scotty is at the other computer.. relaxing an nice. It's only 9.22 but it feels like it should be 10.30 or something. Probably because I have been up since 7 and had breakfast, drove the girls and so..
well.. that's it for now!

in the states..
I'm in the U.S :) The flight went by smooth without problems and the Stewarts picked me up at the airport! it's soooo nice to see them again, just awesome!! :) They are the same.. just older :) the kids are still into computer & tv games and tae kwon do. Molly is bubbly, talkative and crazy as ever :) I gave Vera a pretty big hug when we meet and Molly was like: "hey, that's not fair. Why did mum did get such big hug and I didn't?"
Hellen, you wouldn't belive how things has changed. Remeber that our street ended and then it was just woods?? now the woods are gone and there is lots of houses and you can take a right and drive through neighbourhood after neighbourhood and after a while you come out on route 7.. and there's also a new shoppingcenter on that way. I'll try to take pics and post them..
The weather is hot and humid. Left a rainy Sweden and came to a sunny Leesburg, don't complain :)
Right now Molly & Scotty are watching a movie and Macie is at tae kwon do. Guess we'll go outside and do something after lunch. Take a walk or something..
well.. that's it for now.. I'll write more soon I hope.. you can also follow me on resedagboken.se if you like. Search for dellbon.

In Delsbo..
Are at my parents place for a few days before I go to the states. Just 3,5 days left :) can't belive it, it's surreal but I'm so thrilled and excited!!! :)
It's awesome to be at home in Delsbo, just relax, enjoy the countryside, hang out, see my family and so and catch the breath and rest before I go overseas. Visited my sister today, nice to see her and to play with Malva :) she´s soo cute, just adorable!! :)
What a week I have had. It has been pretty good but stressfull. Had dinner and worship in church last Friday to celebrate June 6th, It's really nice and encouarching!!! Saturday I was mainly at home and took it easy- were tired and had a headace. Sunday it was church in the afternoon as usual and after church me and some friends hung out at Fredrik's place. Really nice and lot of fun :)
Then on Monday I tried to get a hold of the doctor's office to get an oppinion if I should work or not. Didn't get hold of them until 1.30pm and by then it was to late to get an appointment so they told me to call back the next morning. How stupid is that that they can't give me an appointment the next day and that you have to call again.. sigh. Anyway. I did some cleaning in my apartment, whcih I shouldn't had done. My shoulder started to hurt really bad again :(
Well, went to work on Tuesday. Cleaned the toilets and of course my arm started to hurt, but luckily enough they needed me with the kids the rest of the day. Called the doctors office and got hold of them around 9am, but didn't get an appointment that day eather. They were so fullbooked :( In the evening I and some friends watched Sweden vs Greece in the soccer europeen champioschip. We had a good time eating candy, chips and watching the game wich was pretty good & entertaining, and the important thing is that Sweden won :)
On Wednesday I worked with the kids and called the doctor for the 3rd time that week and finally I got an appointment!!! :) of course my arm was better ´cause I hadn't cleaned but the doctor said,as the one the week before, that I have an inflammation in my shoulder and that I overstrained it. She didn't think it was any idea to get me on sickleave when I had only two days left to work and proabbly would work with the kids thoose days. But she gave me more anti-inflammatory medicine and told me not to clean if I could avoid it.
After work I went to Alingsås and got a haircut and then visited my brother with family. Awesome to see them, especially the kids, and rleax and have dinner watch some TV.
Thursday I had to clean as usual- nooot good. My shoulder hurted like ***. I took the floors and the toilets and then I just did easy things, like went through papers and so. Then I worked with the kids for a few hours. Then I had to go home and start packing and get ready to leave my apartment. So much to do and so stressed and all I really wanted was to lay down in my sofa but I couldn't.. later on I went to see two friends and had bbq with them. It's awesome to see them again! soo nice!! :)
Friday I went up at 7, cleaned the floors in my apartment and then went to work. Worked with the kids, which was awesome!! Only 10 kids, 3 left for snack in the afternoon! Was a good day!! Got this really nice necklace from my co-workers :) After work I went home to finish packing and cleaning. And then finally I had some time to just relax before the truck I was gonne ride with left Gothenburg.
Has been one kind of a week, not much time for reflection and rest, but now I can relax and just take it easy, when eveything is set for a summer in the states :)
Mum and dad just got home.. gonna have some strawberries and tea with them!!

Awesome Thursday..
Had an awesome Thursday :) So relaxed and nice..
My friend Sofia and I had decided to go to the beach but she didn't feel good when she wook up so she had to stay home :( to bad, had really looked forward to see her, but I went anyway. Said hi to the staff in church on my way to the beach. nice to see them!!! Then I just laid on the beach; wrote a letter(yes Hellen, it's to you:)), slept some and so. The water was pretty warm, really nice- didn't wanna get out of it.. :)
In the afternoon my friend Linnea joined me :) awesome!! we just laied there talking, went swimming and ate strawberries!! yuuum!! :) after a few hours we went home and had something to eat and took a shower and relaxed.. Then we went to the movies with two others. Wasn't yesterday I went to the movies so it was really nice to get out some!! We saw Stephen King's "The mist". It was really good!!! wasn't as scary, creepy & disguisting as I thought it should be, or maybe it's just me that has grown up :) didn't like the end though, but I can warmly recomend it!! My friend that has read the book said the the movie followed the book and the creatures were like he had imagined them to be from descriptions in the book..
It was a really nice day :) have been home and getting some things done otherwise this week so it was nice to do nothing! Today I'm gonna relax and then go to church. First there's dinner and then it's worship & prayer for Sweden with Bengt Johansson. Will be awesome I think!!
have a good day and remeber to celebrate Sweden :)

Hot hot hot...
My God, such weather we have, it's just awesome!!! The sun is shining and it's warm.. and the water in lakes is warming up :) but I have to admit that it's to warm in the sometimes.. theese past days has been really warm..
It's just come to me that it's about 1,5 weeks since I last wrote.. have been pretty good weeks! Filled with fun stuff.. :) Last week I worked as usual, didn't do anyhting special I think after work. Meet with a friend for ice-cream one day. But otherwise I were just home relaxing..
This past Friday my friend Linnea graduated so after work I went to congrat her and attend her graduationparty.. it's really nice!! :) after that Alexandra and I went and had ice-cream and then we went home. Nice with a calm and relaxing end of the day/work week and well needed with an early evening..
On Saturday Sara and I went to the ocean :) soooo nice!! awesome just to lay there and talk, read and eat. We also went into the water!! wasn't that cold actually!! In the evening we went to Liseberg with Alexandra and Maria. Had a blast =) we're just walking around, playing on the wheels and so.. and we played on theese machines where you can win small stuffed animals. We played it so many times, over and over again and I think we all went home with 7-8 "animals" each.. we were likes small kids but we had such a good time :)
Sunday my prayinggroup were responsible for the service in church. It all went okay and smoothly. Came out really good! God were there and moved and touched people.. Lars tuition were just awesome! Felt charged, at peace and refilled afterwards...
I don't know if I had "told" you but my arm/sholder has been bothering me some lately, especially at work. And theese past week it has just gotten worse so yesterday I called the doctor and believe or not- I got an appointment the same day! He said I have an inflammation beneath my sholder where muscles meet.. so he gave me some medication for the inflammation and told me to stay home from work this week. And I'm not the one who says: "noo, I wanna work!", so I didn't complain and had no troubles calling my boss :)
In the evening we had the last prayinggroup before the summer.. we ate, played and then we had cake and then we prayed for eachother.. awesome evening!! fun & relaxed.. loove my prayinggroup so much!! miss them already :( But I will see some of them in church and so before I go to the states :)
Today I went to Vårgårda to visit an ald lady that is a friend of my family. She turned 85 this past Sunday so mum thought I should visit.. I haven't seen her in for many years so she's really stunned and surprised by my visit but enjoyed it and thought it was so much fun!! And so though I, it was sooo good to see her!! just awesome!! Feels good to make someone so happy!!
well.. that's was my last 1,5 weeks.. and now I'm gonna enjoy my week off. Just relax, meet some friends and enjoy the sun :)
Just 16 days and then I'm off the big country in the west... can't wait!!! :)
