New appartment


For those who didn't know, I moved in to a new appartement with my sister Reebi Deebi (yes, that is her name, sort of). Here are some pictures of it. I think it is pretty neat.
This is the hallway. The coathanger, doormat are home-made and the chest is home painted.
Kitchen

The living-room. My favorite room.
And my room.. Part of it..

Day 3

I fell in love with this song when I heard a swedish christmas version. This version is better! listen to the words, THIS is what CHRISTmas is about. He is the reason, He brings the spirit of christmas. (if any of you wonder who "He" is…its Jesus Christ)

Advent Calendar day 2

I will continue with christmas music from movies. Today, The Polar Express. There is something magical about christmas and the polar express captures it. The moral of the story is to believe, perhaps specifically in santa, but I like to think it is a about believing in general, to have faith and to let that guide you.

My advent calendar, day 1

I was supppose to load a video yesterday, you know, for every day in december, but yesterday ended in a way that didnt motivate me to write on here So, I will post two videos today. Oh, and maybe I should explain myself. I am planning to post a youtube video of some of my favourite christmas music every day up til christmas. (it started well) Today's choic, or rather, yesterdays choice is from how the grinch stole christmas. We watched it with the family saturday night and I think it captures the spririt of christmas quite well, enjoy!

Homeward bound

I am sitting on the airplane on the way to Minneapolis. It is bitter sweet. I have had a wonderful time and am sad to leave the people I love in Arizona and Utah. But I am also super excited to see the people I love in Sweden. I am spending the flight by writing in the sister journal. Kind of like the sisterhood of the traveling pants but a journal instead. I love my sisters. It is great to share all this with them. 
Now onward to new adventures, whatever that might be.

San Francisco continued

I'm still in San Fransisco. Things I have done the last couple of days involve shopping and walking, lots of walking. On saturday night we went to chinatown. It was alot of fun and we ended it with dinner at an authentic chinese resturant, i say authentic because it was just us and a bunch of chinese people in there at first, althought, I do actually consider myself chinese, occationally.
On sunday we went to church gollowed by a very sunday appropriate nap. Then we went down to the pier again. We mer up with kelli at pier 33 and from there got on the boat to go to alcatraz. It was a beautiful ride, and windy. The tour if alcatraz was so well thought through and very pleasant. I know, weird right, that you can find a tour of a former federal prison pleasant, but it was. We had audio clmmentary by people who either worked there or used to be inmates. After the tour we walked around the island and took quite a few pictures.

We cane back to San Francisco and had dinner, spagetti salmon, delicious! And the off we went to ghirardelli square. Its apparently world famous chocolate. I am not too fond of chocolate but I still enjoyed it. At first we thought we came too late and that there was only this little chocolate gift shop open but as we entered it we realized it was mot just a gift shop, it was a chicolate bar, serving hot fudhe sunday's:) so we got one. Then we found a bus (to my relief) and went home.


Today is my last day, I haven't really been up for doing anything special, my mins is at home. Arizona tonight and then on to sweden tomorrow. Bitter-sweet.

San Francisco


I am in San Fransisco. It is great. We got here on Thursday, feels kind of like I have been here forever, in a good way. 

I have seen the golden gate bridge and taken the mandatory touristy pictures. I have been at pier 39 and fishermans warf, it is so fun there, so much to see. 
Yesterday morning we walked to Lombard street, it is special to me, one of my favorite movies is What's up Doc and It was all recorded in San Francisco and there were several times I saw things that reminded me of that movie. Mostly Lombard street, there is a scence with a car chase down Lombard Street.


The highligt so far was last night. We saw Imagine Dragons, on the pier, outside and it was magical. But the trip is not over, we have chinatown tonight and alcatraz tomorrow and many other things to see. Let's just say it this way, I am having a blast!
