My Father

Today is Fathers-day in Sweden so I thought I'd write down a few lines about mine.
When I tell people about my dad I always say that I am his favorite daughter. He has never said that and I don't think he ever will but I feel like his favorite in the way he treats me.
I love how when I have a problem and comes to him for council that he doesn't tell me what to do, but guides me in how to know what to do.
I love that even thought he sits in an important meeting he takes the time to leave it in order to give me a hug and help me with something that is important to me.
I love how he calls me when one of my brothers or sisters is not feeling ok, and asks me to call them, because i feel needed
I love our deep gospel discussions, I can always come to him when I have a question about the scriptures or service in the church.
I love how he always puts my mom first in the family.
I love how he puts the Lord first in his life.
I love the fact that if I am out one night he always makes sure I am home safely.
I love it when someone comes to pick me up to take me somewhere he tells the driver to drive safely because there is precious cargo.
I love how people come up to me and ask if I am my fathers daughter.
I love that I am his daughter. I am so grateful for everything he does for me, I could not have asked for a better father. Now you know.

It is kind of bitter-sweet, but now I have finished my final exam, I have lots more to do but none of it is an exam...ok...its mostly sweet, all I have left now is my dissertation and then internship...oh life is good sometimes...

Shout-out to Ewan, who faithfully follows the blog, this update was for you! so HERE is one of the best songs in the world...it will be played on my funeral...k.bye

hej.

Alrightie...So I know it has happened again...it has taken way too long since I updated my blog but there are legitimate reasons for it.
First of all, I have been to the US of A for three weeks... I mean I could write a whole novel on my experiences there, but I wont. I will just tell you that when you feel you should do something, DO IT. I felt I should go to the States with my very best friends and I did and we had such a great time, I got to know so many wonderful people and got to deepen my friendship to more wonderful people. I learned things about myself and I made decisions that I hope can bless my life.
One of those decisions is to go back... I have been offered an internship with Federal Judge Benson and I am now in the process of my visa application..so the plan is 5 months in the States in the Spring...yeah.. that takes a lot of my thinking energy.
secondly, when you have been away from school for three weeks it is a lot of work when you get back. that is the case with me, but I know I can handle it. I am actually suppose to write on my home-exam now, but everyone needs a break, or two....or three... whatever...
thirdly...I can't think of a third reason for me not writing here...so let me instead write:
Life is wonderful! seriously, I have so much to be grateful for. I am grateful I have so much to do because it means that I can get an education, I have many friends, I have opportunities to go places. I am grateful I get distracted from writing my exam because it means I have many fun things to do. I am grateful I can get up at 6 in the morning because it means I have something to get up to. I am grateful for my phone bill, it means I have many friends I talk to. I am grateful I gained a little bit of weight in the states, it means I ate alot of good food....(ok maybe Im not grateful for the weight-gain but I am grateful for the food) I am grateful I am loosing that weight now that I am home, it means that I have a healthy body that gets rid of the extra fat when I exercise. I am grateful for my heavy bag, because it means I have books to read.
Most of all, I am grateful that I know that this life is a testing time, that I know who I am, and my destiny. That helps me know what is really important in life and helps me to prioritize that.
