friends, snow tubing and snowboarding

Wow, it's MARCH!!
Well, let's see what I have been up to those last weeks. I was going to write every two weeks, but it's sometimes just not possible for me to be on a computer for long and not doing anything else that needs to be done, so the blogg kinda has to wait the longest most of the time. But I know you understand! :)

I had to deal with a little bit of homesickness a couple of weeks ago. It's just that time I guess.
It wasn't to bad, just not nice to be emotional all the time. (not that I"m not way to emotional all the time anyways... ;) )
What has helped me a lot was meeting new friends here. I'm kinda jumping ahead here, but I just last week met some new girls that I am having a great time with.
One girl is MArtina from Sweden and she just arrived here 2 weeks ago. We went to the MOA a couple of times and I introduced her to my favourite hobby here "Scrapbooking" So we go out and buy stuff for that together and she just came over on saturday so we could work on a few pages together. :) It was a lot of fun, although I had to sort through my stuff first and get some order into it, cause I have so much stuff, that I started loosing track. :)
That night we met up with another swedish girl, Klara, and we went out to dinner downtown and had fun. Sunday we also met and went to Ikea and had dinner there and bought some boxes. :)
Nathalie, another swedish girl also came with us! :)

OK, back to the beginning of February

I met two other very sweet girls some weeks ago. Rachel and Arielle. We went out for lunch and dinner and a movie on some saturdays and just had a good time talking and getting to know each other! I am really thankful for all those amazing people here!!

Another highlight was watching the movie "Avatar" with my friend Emma. The movie was fun and well made, but the best was probably that we watched it at the IMAX in 3D. super fun!

We had a cluster meeting on the 21st and went to Buckhill to go Snow tubing. That was a fun experience! The tubes get really fast and it's so much fun. The wait at the top of the hill was pretty long, but worth it.

I also had a great time going to "the upper room community" a fun church group that I really enjoy going to!

Last thursday it was time for me to bundle up for my first snowboarding lesson!!
LEt me tell you, it was a lot of fun once you get the hang of it, but super painfull for my legs. I didn't fall as much as I thought I would, but my calfs (is that how you spell them?) really hurt. :)
I can't wait to go back this week and see how it goes. We were only women and all beginners, so that was nice to not be the only one there. :)

I got a new pair of glasses last week and I really like them. :)

I am having a good time here with my family and love them very much.
Spending time with the kids and doing all kinds of things with them is fun and I love to see them grow and our connection grow stronger.

Well, that's my last month in a nutshell. Leave me comments! :)

I miss you all!
