Where has the hot sunny weather gone from yesterday? My only free day this week and its rainy, cold and blowing at 100km/hr out side! So much for looking forward to a little tanning or relaxation in the sun....
Yesterday my thesis group found out that we have to present our work AFTER the summer... Which is the suckiest thing.. now we have to work on it during the summer ( which by the way means no free time for me!) and present in September.  What was the teacher thinking? All our hard work put on hold because its easier for him??? what is up with that!

Today has been a busy day; filled with looking at the church and fest lokal, meeting the priest that will marry us, school work, cleaning and playing with Elvis! Now i need to squeeze in some time for wedding planning....
I have made myself a very long list of everything that needs doing before the 18th of July.. and its sad to say - but its VERY long :( its starting to stress me out that there is still so much to and so little time it feels like (1 month and 27days!)... but what to do? i will just have to call on some help i think!  However, the important things are checked off - my dress, Erics tux, hair, make-up, food and ofcouse alcohol!

I just re-watched last Friday's episode of Greys Anatomy (downloaded).. cant believe how SAD it is :( and i cant talk to anyone about it because no one else really downloads it.........................................................what will happen next season???

Tommorrow we're leaving for Dalarna, to spend the long weekend up at a friends summer house (fingers crossed that the weather turns to hot and sunny for me!)... Anyway back to my thesis work now i think .... Bye Bye

Due to the fact that we no longer have Gustav, Ebba (our other cat) has been really depressed, lonely and not herself the past days... so yesterday we adopted ELVIS to keep her company!  He is about a quarter of the size of her and already thinks he rules the place!



This week is pretty much my last week of school! We have to perfect our Thesis by friday and then present a draft of it to our teachers, then if everything goes well we have a week after that to finalize our final presentation!!!! fingers crossed ..

Yesterday was one of the sadest days i have ever experienced.  For the past week one of our cats Gustav has been sick, and yesterday it got even worse! So we decided to take him into the vet to see what was wrong.  They took blood samples and gave him a drop to get his energy up (he had not eaten all week and had lost over 2kilos!) but that didnt seem to work.  They told us we should take him out to Strömholmen to their vet clinic to do further testing - but at a price of over 2500kr we were unfortunatly not able to.... so we were left with two choices 1. wait and see and hope that he got better, or 2. put him out of his missery. It wouldnt have been fair to him to keep him alive and hope that he would get better.. so we made the choice of 'putting him to sleep'.  It  may sound stupid, but it was one of the hardest dicisions i've had to make.. he's been in our little family for almost 4yrs now.. and we had to say goodbye to him just like that .. not a fun day at all.. but i guess it was for the best .......

Tonight the plans are to watch Emma play football, and then hang out with Moberg and Blomman! Tommorrow we're biking out to Erics parents place (which is only 17km out of town) to celebrate his sisters birthday and watch Eurovision Song Contest Final :) Fingers crossed for Norway - Fairytale ...........

Less then one month to go until my group is finished with our thesis work!! That will be a day to celebrate i think!
It seems to suck all the life out of me - when im in school im working on it and stressing about it, and when im not in school, im stressing about how much we have to do with it! Lose - Lose situation! Sometimes i just wish that i was already out in the real world working and making lots of money; but then i wouldnt get the occasional sleep in in the middle of the week :p

We were meant to go to Johanna and Blommans today to get some fish, but as usual Eric has had to work late.. so i guess we will take that another day!
Yesterday i ordered Agnes' 'flower girl' dress; baby pink in colour and soo cute! cant wait to see her in it :) Tonight i think i will be taking care of the Wedding programs, which might take me a while, since i've never been to a wedding before, i have no idea how everything is meant to be- will just have to make everything up as i go along!

Isnt it funny that in a way, our lives are wrapped up in our technology - in our computers and mobile phones.  What would we do without them? Yesterday afternoon Erics laptop decided to die!   When he tried to turn it on nothing happened - strange concidering that it had been working perfectly fine up till then.. we took it back to the store and they said that they could try to fix it, but if the hard drive was reuined then everything on there would be lost! Gone. Vanished into thin air.
Then i remembered that ALL of our photos were on his computer.  All of our pictures from Australia, and my family when we were there over xmas and new yrs! Now there is no way of getting them back... What makes me even more upset about this is that we're not going to see my family and my home there for another 18months :( I have no pictures that i can turn to to look through when im feeling home sick or down anymore.. they're just gone!
Which makes me feel guilty  for living so far away from them.. But i guess this is the price you pay for falling in love with a guy from another country - there is no easy solution to our situation.... Its not fair that we have to struggle to please everyone and to make our lives as normal as possible while still missing out on so many things..





















I was at Johannas place last night and we watched SATC.. I've come to the conclusion that the movie is nowhere near as good as the series was - they have tired to make the characters to dressed up in every sceen and lost what made the series so great.. 
I also got to see Johannas 'maid of honor' dress that we ordered a few weeks ago and its perfect! made it feel a little bit more real that we're actually getting married .. And only 2months and 8 days to go : the countdown is on!

Home from school now and soaking wet :(
Mission for the afternoon: cleaning the apartment and washing!

What a great start to the week i had this morning..
Firstly it was raining! Secondly i had to bike to the train station in the rain :( and lastly after i had biked to the train station i realized that i had left my bike lock keys at home! luckily i was early and managed to quickly bike home and get them and bike back... but what happened on the way home - my NEW mountain bike decide to break.
Not fun for me.. i finally made it to school tho (only  a little late)- not a great way to start your Monday morning..
i only have one month left now until im finished my degree! kind of scary.. i have no idea yet what im going to do after the summer; try to look for a job.. maybe keep studying?

Anyway, we're off to Strängnas this evening to pick up Erics new bike :) he thinks he will be able to teach me how to 'mountain bike for real'.. any guesses for how that going to turn out!

Summer is finally here .. or so it feels like! 25degrees, sunbaking - relaxing.
A day well spent I would say :)
