So I Am Here...

Let´s see I have been here for three days and...I guess I should post *sigh* hahah kidding entirely.

So I got on the plane from Dallas to Philly on an Airbus...it wasn´t the big one...darn it. Anywho sat next to this couple who I found out at the end were headed to Stockholm on their route to Paris. Woot! So we landed in Philly and walked over to the other terminal - I was hoping for a sparse flight so I could stretch out and sleep - hahahaha not happening! It was so crowded and now (after much searching with the help of David) I sat next to Steve Kilbey...who wrote "Under the Milky Way" he´s an Aussie and next to him was a San Deigo biker guy who belonged to the NRA...needless to say they had some heated discussion about all things. It was interesting to say the least but yeah he wrote it and used to be in the band The Church. He was a really nice guy. Anyway, so the plane ride sucked!!! Let´s try cramming everyone into a tiny itty bitty the smallest plane that can go Trans-Atlantic...then we were delayed an extra hour almost because our navigation system had a malfunction and so we had to reset it...oh yeah I had faith in the plane hahaha. So I didn´t get much sleep and really it´s ok because I was too excited.

So we land and get off the plane and wow...I was like "where´s Stockholm?" so get off and *dun dun duh* CUSTOMS!! Which consisted of, "Hi how long will you be staying? What is your business here...*stamp* thank you welcome to Sweden"...yeah the US Customs sucks in comparison lol (so says David). So weave my way following Mr. Kilbey for as long as I can ...til he disappears and then follow the crowd. *fast forward* got my bag *walk walk walk* go out and "where´s David?" he snuck up and surprised me and it was amazing!!!

Item 2..getting to Övik (I like his keyboard no codes for special characters!!) took two trains and a bus, was so much fun I got to see where he went to school in Gävle. *fast forward* the bus we are in Övik and his mother and Micke are so sweet to come and pick us up :D We four went home and had dinner and talked (she is an amazing cook! Yummy I know where David gets it from). Then bedtime...long day deserves long rest.

Day 2 Uneventful and relaxing. We watched movies and I slept ...a lot. Yay JetLag.

Day 3 We went to this really cool market in Åsele and got to see a band called Alcazar they were 90´s Pop Rocks. Still enjoyable we walked around looking at vendors...both got a little sunburnt and then went and had chicken ...yummy. Oh and the water called Loka is AMAZING it´s carbonated and mmmmm. Speaking of water ..America sucks...the tap water is so clean and pure and yummy - better than Sams bottled water. After dinner we started home - stopped and talked to some friend of theirs and looked out at the gorgeous landscape. Micke wanted to go swimming so we went swimming at a lake along side the road - just drive past 10 find one that isnt private and park the car. How cool is that!?! So they went swimming Christina and Micke ...I was too cold and David was sweet and didn´t want to leave me. Sweetheart! So after that we had fika (break time) and off again. Micke was thirsty so what do we do? Pull along side the road and drink from a natural well...just beside any road where water is pouring out. Yummy! I love this country...all for now.

It's the Day Before

So tomorrow morning I leave on my plane to hop across the pond...do I have everything?
I had heard that SpaceSaver bags were the way to go...so I bought the travel space savers and tried - where you roll out the air. Nope wasn't gonna cut it...see I was trying to pack 6 weeks worth of stuff into a carry on bag...HaHaHaHa...wasn't happening.

So we went back and purchased the vacuum ones - surely this will work...well when you add in presents and a coat (in July I might add) I needed about another inch for it to work. No worries it all fits very nicely in this brown bag. Of course I have my black backpack equipped with things to keep me not bored on the plane...I will probably sleep on the plane with my smooshy pillow!!

My next post will be from Sweden! Peace*

So I was on Facebook

And man alive there are so many of my classmates who have gotten married. It's crazy, good crazy, but still crazy. Time flies I suppose...15 days...and I'm still bored. Well I should say bored at school.

Been hanging out with Julia, yesterday I went to her place and Beau grilled out peaches...we thought "oh yum grilled peaches with this marinade..." barely got one bite down...
Cinnamon
Sugar
Coriander
Cumin and I think that's it...oh and orange juice

No! Cinnamon and Sugar Yes...the other no...it was way too something not edible...wish I would have saved the picture of the peach. Alas.

I really think that's all...

Counting down the days

So it's 28 days until I go to Sweden...I feel like a dog chasing my tail the days just drag on...around and around. A fluffy Wheaton Terrior with a pink collar... You know, I just realized 28 days...a movie and 28 weeks later ...a movie. We're all gonna die! Kidding entirely *ahem* man I am bored. So I don't go stir crazy I enrolled in a summer class, Computing for Teachers. Brilliant, it's a good class, I know the basic programs but now I am learning how to do them faster...ooo rah. Good thing it's only two hours.

I really have nothing to write except that I'm bored and I had a really great thing I wanted to blog about...I thought to myself "Gee I should write a blog" and now I forgot. Darn it.

Introduction

David.

Hi, so yay blog...I've tried many a time to open and keep active one of these but we'll actually see if I will. The reason I want to in the first place is I'm going overseas this summer and it'd be fun to document what happens. Not that anyone will find this entirely interesting...still would be fun. Let's see...oh right where I'm going, Sweden. How in the world did I choose Sweden? Well I'll explain.

Back in 2005 my family had moved down to Texas and I had followed after High School. I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life, still not entirely sure, so I tried a University in Oklahoma. Quickly, I came home. So I enrolled in the local junior college and massage therapy school at the same time. Fun stuff. Well my Massage Therapy professor one day was playing a game after class. It was a MMO (Massive Multiplayer Online) or something, called Flyff. I had never tried an online game and I'm kinda that type of personality. So I set up an account and went on my merry way.

In May of 2007 I was playing on a different server from the norm and ran across a character named Kavalch. Thinking it was a reference from Oblivion I started talking to him. Found out it wasn't an Oblivion reference (bummer) but I liked to talk to him. Something strange happened, I asked if he had MSN Messanger, something I have never done before or since. After saying yes we started talking. Slowly but surely I began to really like him. One speed bump - he lives in Sweden.

Ah the story comes full circle.

So now we have been together over a year and he came last June to stay for a month and now it's my turn. So to Sweden I will go.
