Nya Hem (New Home)

I would just like to point out the fact that there are 110 viewers for this blog! wow I didn't know that many people were intrested in how life is in Sweden... Here is a tip for you all, Just come visit!!!

Back to the main subject at hand, I have now been in my new home for 2 weeks. I feel so comfortable with my new family, its like I have always known them! My room is in my host brother's room, he is in his older brother David's room. The room is really small so not all of my stuff would fit! But we managed and i was officially moved in within a week and a half. :)

I love Eva and Mats but I love my new family, i really do appreciate having a brother and sister, even better they are my age! hanna is a good friend of mine so we get along really well.

The food is really good, I have a T.V. in my room, and there is a little work out area in the house! (well a bike and some lifting equiptment) the house is pretty far out in the country so it is really quiet and it takes awhile to get to the bus, but it is a nice walk. There is sooo much snow here!!! I cant believe how much it has snowed, and before everyone said we would get absolutely no snow, now it just wont stop! woozers!!

This past week I have been sick with a sinus infection so i have not been able to do much but work on homework, watch movies, and sleep. sounds really lame and boring but its really the only things i had energy to do. I believe i came to the right house to get sick at. they take care of me so well and make sure i take it easy and eat the right foods to get better. Up to 4 cups of delicious tea everyday, lots of oranges and other healthy stuff that i cant remember. but also tasty! hanna and i share a lot of intrests, including food (some vegitarian and mostly really healthy stuff, and baking.. all kinds, bread muffins u name it!), we both like running, and yoga, some of the same music, tv shows (we watch the old OC episodes everyother day.. we are trying to finish all the seasons before i leave.. good goal huh??). Life couldnt be better. Ok well it could if my cold would just go away. I missed the 150 days (the countdown till graduation, the theme parties, this time is was T.. i was supposed to be a teacher) i missed a movie night with hanna and a friend of hers, and i havent seen my friends from school much. but lets not get stuck on complaining! this next week i hope to back in tip top shape on the bike everyday, going to school, and seeing my boyfriend tyler on friday!! Just in time for valentines day :) and in case you were wondering, yes there is valentines here in sweden.

so last weekend i went with hanna and her friend carolinea (spelling??) to goteborg to find hanna's prom dress! i think we walked allllllll over the entire city in search of the stores... only found 2 because the others closed by the time we got there. Once we were hoome we had to thaw out because it was so incredibly cold! but we managed :)

I cant believe this year is already half way over. im sooo excited to get home and see everyone but i know i will miss so much here. Especially the food! i really should start some kind of a cook book. no wonder the swedes are so skinny there is so much natural food! i love it ;) It will be exciting to go back to Steamboat in the summer and start college in the fall but i am also really nervous for the classes! the new surroundings and situation will not be too different.. it will basically be like this year only i wil understand everything!

before i forget i must mention that i met my uncle ricky and his friend john in copenhagen last weekend. it was really nice not to have to worry about planning anything.. all i had to do was just go with the flow and follow them around :) so i was well taken care of. it was nice seeing my uncle. and talking about everything back home. hopefully the economy will be better once i get back! but thats just positive thinking :)

i cant write too much today i have my history interview paper to finish and massage class to study for! test this week ( well last week really but i missed it cuz i was home being a sick duckling) hope all is well at home, stay warm, the winter is soon over!

xoxo
