running, screening and a birthday

Hey guys,

hope everyone is doing as good as I am.
For some strange reason I woke up with a big smile on my face this morning. For about the last two weeks I have felt happy a lot of times with no "reason". I know there are a lot of reasons for me to be happy right now, what I mean is that nothing really stood out that I could put my finger on and say:" hey, that's why I'm so happy"! :)
I am just gonna take it and be thankful for it I guess! :)

One reason is the weather for sure. I has been great to be able to take the kids to parks and play in our front or back yard! There is so much more to explore for them outside and we love to enjoy the sunshine!

One thing the weather has done to me, is turn me into a runner...well..ok I have only been 4 times so far, but everyone has to start somewhere right. :)
One nice day I was just out to go for a walk, when somehow walking wasn't enough anymore, so I started running. :) And let me tell you, I love it! It feels so good when you realize, that you are getting better at it, even if it's slowly ;) .

Church has been amazing too. I just love the teachings at the upper room community, there is something that touches me every time and the worship times are awesome and really uplifting!
It refreshes me for the week and I got something to think about all week!

Last week Martina and I went to our first movie screening. We got free tickets to see "the backup plan". You need to get to the theatre early, since they give out more tickets than they have seats, so when we got there there was a long line already and we were amongst the last 10 people or so that got in.
We had to sit pretty close to the front and off to the side, but hey, it was free right. AND the movie was soooo funny. I laughed soo hard, one of the best comedies I have seen in a long time..and I have seen a lot good ones lately, so that makes it even better! :)

It was Matty's birthday yesterday. He's 3 now, ohh my... :)

Leave me a comment! :)

love ya!

Colorado, Friends and Spring

Hi there,


it's been more than a month (oh no!) , but I have a good excuse. :)


We were gone for some days and then I've been sick or not really to a PC for longer than a few minutes, so here is my last month in a nutshell!





Colorado

We went to Colorado for a little over a week at the end of march.

It was a long ride in the car, but the kids did great and the time actually went by pretty fast. :)
We had a great week with lots of swimming, ice-skating, hanging out and skiing and snowboarding! :)
On some days me and the boys went on little adventures up the hill. The gondolas were a lot of fun for them to go in and the little village was fun to walk arround at. :)
One day we went to the Hot Springs and had a great tiome floating arround in the water!
Snowboarding was ok, but I decided that it isn't my most favourite sport

Sick

I was sick last week. My first time here where I had to stay in bed all day. I won't make you read the details, but I felt super sick! No fun! Took me some days to get better all the way.

Friends

I've been doing a lot of fun things with my friends here.
One weekend m y friend Inga came to visit me from Connecticut. We had a great time and it was fun seeing her again. We hung out with my good friends Klara and Martina that I've been doing a lot of stuff with lately.

AND the most wonderful thing!

SPRING is here!
the weather is great right now. It is warm enough to run arround without a jacket a lot of times and the lakes are great to walk around and and and...it's just great!
It's great to be able to go outside with the kids and so good for them to be able to run around outside too!

Well, here it is, as I said, "in a nutshell". There has been so much that's been happening, that it is hard to write it all down, but I will write again soon, so it won't overwelm me again!

Love ya!
