Typh

Once again it was time to say "see you later". This time to Typhaine who was one of the first friends I made in the US. We hung out a lot in the begining and explored SF, the beach (or is it bitch Typh?), parks, downtown and frozen yoghurt. When she moved to Santa Cruz she gave me the best opportunity to enjoy everything Santa Cruz has to offer. We've had a lot of fun and I'm really gonna miss you. See you in France!
 
 

Noah's Ark

Lying in my bed and listening to the rain that is pouring down outside, it's so cozy! I'm thinking about what a great Holliday thanksgiving is (which is on Thursday) and I wish Sweden someday will take after this wonderful day. Although I guess the turkey is getting more attention than the message that you should be thankful for the great thinks/ people you have in your life... I'm thankful for all the fun and special experiences I've had so far in this country. Last Saturday I went to a birthday party on a boat where the theme was Noah's Ark. I decided to dress up as a blue bird. The party was fun and the view from the boat was amazing!

That's how they do it

Before the weekend starts I just have to show some pictures from a different but fun dinner I went to this Monday. My friend Suna is leaving SF tomorrow to go back to Turkey, but the memories from her goodbye-dinner will stay forever!
Good food, song, dance and nice people. I was the only Swedish person there and for I while I whiched that I grew up in a country where people are more relaxed and dare to let go a little. 
 

My guardian angel

You realize that time flies when there is something that is recurrent every year. One year ago I was laying in this same bed with tears in my eyes and thought about the same person as I'm doing now. If I would ask you what you did nine years ago, would you remember?
I was 11 years old, didn't know much about life but experienced the worst day I will ever have. I can't explain how it feels to loose your big sister, and when that happened to me it felt like my family was the only one in the world that had to suffer from that kind of pain. Today I know that more people than you can ever imagine have felt the same pain as I have. People say that it will get easier with time and I can agree in one way. After a while you learn how to live without seeing that special person every day, but some days will be harder than others. What I learned from loosing my best friend, my sister Catarina, is that you only live this life once so make sure you live it right. Take care of the people in your life that mean something to you, tell them how much you love them or show them by actions.

What comforts me when I have a tough day is since I've made it this far, I know I can do anything.

Find peace in a beautiful place

Typh came this Saturday to visit SF for one last time before she will return to France, so we decided to make the day memorable. We drove over Golden Gate Bridge to get to Sausalito where it's most of the time warmer than in the city. Walk along the harbour, eat lunch and enjoy the nice view made our day! In the evening we where invited to Kate where we had a movie night with lots of sushi and ice cream. Now it's Monday again and tonight there will be another goodbye-dinner.

Where there is desire
There is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame
Someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns
Doesn't mean you're gonna die

You've gotta get up and try

Most nights I don't know

The beginning of this week has been amazing. Beautiful weather, long walk with Clara, lunch at a nice café, skype with my girls and singing lesson. Today the sky turned gray and cold so I decided to start out the day with yoga before I went to the store to rent Breaking Dawn part 1. Thought I had to see it before part 2 comes out. Enjoyed the movie with a fruit salad and chocolate covered nuts. Every day can be a perfect day ;)

One year and two days ago was the first time I put my feet on American ground. It's been an amazing year and the biggest reason for that is all the wonderful people I've met here. One girl that has been with me from day one is Johanna but since she didn't extend she is now on her way back home. So beautiful, funny and charming! Can't wait until I'll meet her again, but then it will be in Sweden.
