In between days

That's what these days are called in Swedish, "the in between days", not a bad name.

Got back from the mountain yesterday... we had a wonderful time. A lot of snow, a lot of good food, good company and baby Vincent; the main attraction of the week.

I went snowboarding twice, it was nice... although I didn't have my board, which made my life a tad more difficult.

Now, as I said, I am back in Västerås, and today we're going on an adventure to Märsta, Stockholm to visit Riitta my aunt.
The main event being Maria flying in from Paris.

Now you are probably wondering, why is Maria who lives in London, flying in from Paris. Well, Maria was supposed to arrive with my dad and Bettina last week, we were all spending Christmas the big family way.
But because of Heathrow's lack of knowledge and equipment in snow and it's removal, she was not able to join us up in Sweden. So she hopped on a bus to Paris, where Bettinita lives and spent Christmas there. Now she's coming up here because they are all going to Turkey, Ankara for new years....

now my arms hurt...

a plus!

Last weekend

So my last weekend in Mexico is over in an hour... Sad!
But it was an amazing one, so I will not complain!

We just got back to Guadalajara after a 5h drive, and both of us were really tired, so as soon as I am done with this post I will head to bed.

Tomorrow packing will start, and later in the day I have an appointment. Probably we will head up and tan for a bit on the roof before starting with the daily chores (?).

Here are some pictures from the weekend...

Jingle all the way...

The tree, the Adventsljusstake and Kylling
 looking up on the tree
which is what I will do all the way until Christmas!

For the past 16 days I've;
Watched an episode of Modern Family, had a romantic picnique on the roof with Memo, talked with my mom, talked with my sister and baby Vincent, talked with my dad, made multiple Christmas playlists on Youtube, realized that it's easier to download the music, so I did, watched the latest Cougar Town, tanned on the roof, watched the latest Modern Family, organized my hard drive, organized my desktop, cleaned the house, bought a Christmas tree, decorated the house while listening to one of the many Christmas playlists, tanned a bit more on the roof, been to talk to different people, been to Bach flower therapy, stole two Hershey bow's at Soriana for the Christmas tree, cleaned out the fridge, bought a book, started reading the book, had another romantic night on the roof with Memo, talked some more with Anna-Karin, called Helena, celebrated my birthday, changed my ticket back to Sweden for the 16th, been informed about the plans for Christmas; the mountains in Sweden with dad's part of the family, watched "The social network", been to the doctor with Daniel, listened to Christmas music, bought a plastic chicken with candy up his ass, said bye to Patrick, been to the immigrations office, slept, rested and enjoyed life!

Tomorrow it's Vallarta bound, last time before I leave... sad!
Very much looking forward to seeing the family and baby Vincent!
