Day 1

For some reason today seems significant, significant for our journey that starts for real on Thursday. Perhaps its the fact that Christofer and I all weekend have been ignoring the ever growing list of things we have to do before we leave. On Friday, my birthday, we spent the morning watching the Olympics, the afternoon we went bowling, ate pizza, and actually watched 'New Moon', bad idea, more on that later. The evening was spent at Hunga were we, along with Christofer's parents, enjoyed a spiced up chicken dinner with really good white wine. We ended the night talking to my family and Caroline, Abe, Emelie, and Ethan. It was a great birthday!
  Saturday we cleaned and baked for a huge Birthday/going away party. We were around 30 people and we had so much fun! I'm sure going to miss everyone from around here, they are such wonderful and caring souls. We then had to brave the crazy snowstorm to dig out Robert and the three Kogners. We all bundled up and ran around trying to help the gigantic tractor that actually did do all the work. Sunday Christofer preached for his last time as a payed pastor, everyone was really emotional, even though his teaching was about thankfulness. We then all sat down to a yummy fika and enjoyed each others company. Later Robert prepared an amazing dinner for us and afterwards I helped him clean his kitchen...what we found there I'm not a liberty to disclose but lets just say he is a conformed bachelor! We had loads of fun and an hour later the kitchen was sparkling! Chritstofer, of course, was fixing Robert's huge home theater system. We then skyped Uncle Anthony,Taaniel, and Bethany, then we went to bed. Ahh, that was exhausting just writing, imagine that we actually squeezed all of that into three days!
  Back to today. I have loads to do like cleaning, filing, moving, and well, the likes. Yet, today seems significant because Christofer is having a really important meeting with a client that is thinking about investing! Underbart! Oh, and a Realtor is coming today to look at our apartment. So, lots of large steps forward....Only two and half days left! Galat!
