Last day in Spokane
Its sad. BUT IT FEELS GREAT!
Strange feeling!
i will be leaving Spokane in exactly seven days. two months have already passed! I remember when we first came here. it was not a long time ago! So next wednesday, at 11.30, the boys and I will fly all by our selves first to San Fransisco and then over to Boston, Ma. I have to admit though I am really excited about going back to Boston and well Cape cod will be fun in a way to.
Right now I am just finishing packing, since Patrick is driving some things across the country over to the grand parents house and he will be leaving on thursday morning, so i have to get things ready for him to bring onto the truck.
MY room is A BIG MESS! and i keep cleaning but i cant figure out how it looks so messy!
sunny saturday in Spokane!
I am sitting here at the library in downtown Spokane. The reason I came here was for me to print some different papers in order for my traveling. But of course I have the good luck with me today as always. Printer is out of order! So I am just going to sit here and enjoy every single one around me. ages 20 thorugh 60 playing world of warcraft! Can it really be that fun? fun enough for you sit in a library and play during a nice sunny day?
It sure must be! i am going to head to the mall now to try to do some shopping! Tonight I am meeting up with Josh, for dinner I think, anyway!
World of warcraft!
sweet!

Independence day in Priest, Idaho!
The weekend has been spent with Josh, Jessica and Adam plus Josh's whole family of about 10 and his neighbours!
The weekend was great! even tho the weather wasnt the best. Josh's lake house was perfect! it was right on the lake, they had jet skiis! tubing! and the fastest speedboat i have ever gone on! since i had never been jet skiing before Jessica took me on a little tour and then it was time for me to take the wheels, fast fast fast! i think the jet ski became my new best friend! after jet skiing for more than an hour it was time for tubing. Josh convinced me of going. " it doesnt go fast" "its not bad" But damn it went fast! and my muscles today THEY ARE IN REAL PAIN!
So after lunch we decided to go on the speed boat. 50 miles per hour plus eminems new cd pumping out of the speakers! and the best thing I even got to drive the boat!
time went by fast yesterday and it was suddenly 9 PM. josh, Jessica, Adam, Josh step dad and his friend and I, we all went back on the boat. Now it was time to hit the " lake bar" it was a cute place. They were ordering jello shots plus jello shots! they had the buy 12 for 20 ! Tho i was driving. I didnt try it but it sure smelled good! After coming back from the bar, of course the rain started coming down, but it was time for fireworks! josh's dad had bought 450 $ worth of fireworks just for yesterday. So when every house around the lake started setting off their fireworks it became almost like a competition between every household who had the most fireworks! It was fun!
The weekend went by fast which only means one thing GREAT WEEKEND!
Jessica and i
Yay Yay Yay!

I have been gambling in Idaho!
My first gambling experience started tonight. Josh invited me out for dinner ( he worked at the hotel my parents stayed at) So Josh, Joshs best friend Alex and his girlfriend Jessica we all went to a casino in cour d alene in Idaho, the best fact about that! You only have to be 18 to gamble!
I admit i got addicted very fast. josh gave me six dollars and i myself made it into 30 dollars through the machine!! the business woman is me !
It was crazy though , people, some even pretty old were sitting there, smoking their cigarettes and playing away some serious cash! but i really never thought gambling would be so much fun! i have to admit i do understand them a little bit
I am ready for the next gambling session!
So whats going on for fourth of july?

blog blog blog!
Its not tuesday evening, i know i havent been very active lately with my blog.
My parents were here all week last week. I took the bus up to Seattle last friday to meet them there. The first moment I met them was amazing, after not seeing each other for 10 months! It was great! Even tho have havent seen each other for sucha a long time, after about about an hour it felt like we had never been apart. We enjoyed alot of nice moments while they have been here, we have been doing car cruising, shopping and lots and lots of sightseeing! i miss them a lot already but all I can do is look forward to the next time I see them.
Here are some pictures taken last week!
the view from the ferry we took to one of the nearby islands.
This picture shows a restaurant in Seattle where you were actually suppose to buy regular fast food but then feed the birds. The sign said "dont be afraid of overfeeding the birds"
We drove all the way from Wasington to Montana one day, it took about an hour.
the coolest coca cola bottle i have ever experienced! So round!
Time to jump in the shower!
c ya!

The first computer i got yesterday, tho first thing i noticed when i turned it on, the screen was flashing. i went back this morning and they gave me a brand new computer without question. Thank you!
The day has gone by unusually slow, working from one to eleven. i dont know why this whole day felt like a "watching clock every minute day" but o well. its friday now! and in exactly one week from today I will be in Seattle with my lovely parents who will come all the way from Sweden! i cant wait!

We are in Spokane now, since two weeks back! i havent seen much of the city yet, but what i have seen has been good! LOTS and LOTS Of fast food places which I brought right to heart!

Key stone, South dakota!
It is snowing! the temperature is only about 33 Fahrenheit.
Even tho the cold was there, we went to see the Bad lands here in South Dakota, it was amazing! Huge! deep! Here is a picture!
Its about ten oclock here, two hours later the Boston time. Turning back the clock every two days, it does give you more time. but the days REALLY do feel alot longer, can be nice, can be boring.
Anyway! Tomorrow morning we are going to see the four presidents!
I hope for better weather tomorrow, since Dave told us Spokane had 70 degrees today. We are coming!

chamberlin, South Dakota!
Most rainy day we have had on this trip we experienced yesterday. it rained, and rained and rained even more. Windsield wipers on max for six hours straight.
But we finally got here at about six PM. Its a small, small town. I am not sure how else to describe the people than Country! Cowboys! We went to this little restaurant yesterday called Charlies, which the hotel recommend. We came inside, people were sitting there with hats on, drinking, smoking and eating french fries!
they got their style, we got ours, but should smoking really be allowed in public restaurants?
anyway, we got home. Me and the boys jumped in the pool they have here at the hotel, upstairs take a shower. Jump in bed. it took me about three seconds to fall asleep. thanks to the rain!
Time for breakfast!

St Louis, Missouri
We spent the day yesterday in the big city of St Louis! i have now offically been up to the big arch, which a finnish architet actually designed. it was a symbol of the connection to the west.
Its huge! But the elevator up was a little bit scary. you sit in a little tiny room with five chairs, you do not see anything. You cant even sit straight up, its so small.
But after about four minutes we were up on the top! Looking at the beautiful views of the city!
Crown Plaza was our hotell in downtown St Louis. Pretty pretty pretty hotel!
i have to go upstairs back to my room, time to go to Breakfast at the fougere family's house. Daves brother in other words live here with his family.
Talk to u soon!
Dayton, Ohio
Day 5 on our road trip. We arrived in the southern part of Dayton yesterday at around eight. The sun was just setting. I like Dayton!
We havent really seen much yet. But I have to say the more southern we get! The more it feels comforting! People seem more relaxed, they take time to do things. We went out to dinner almost as soon as we came here. Well after the boys, Patrick and I went to the pool. Which also has gotten to be like a little routine we have made ever since we hit the road, meaning. Every hotel " has to have" a pool, which we will jump in before dinner time.
Patrick and the boys went to visit Patricks aunt and uncle here in Dayton this morning. I got the time to relax, and just take care of myself!:)
We have taken lots of pictures but no pictures has been downloaded onto the computer yet! but they will be soon!
the time is getting close to eleven, its time to get off.
I will talk to u soon!

We decided to take the little smaller roads after a while on the highway. Highway 90 WEST!=) We got to see some really cute country towns out in the middle of nowthere! It was worth the road!
The weekend on the Cape was great! On saturday evening we went to the beach in the evening and ate some snacks, the boys played in the sand. Sunday. well we went shopping for the boys me and Barb ( granma) and bedtime was early.

Last day,
The boys are enjoying their last day of school now. I just came home from a celebration at Nickys school, where we ate pancakes and Nicky recieved a very cute little book from his class, where they had all written one " good luck
" sentences and their best wishes for Nicky! Cutie Cute!
Its friday today, we are leaving Swampscott tomorrow morning. There was my goodbye dinner yesterday, which we met up at Tavern in Salem. Good company! We had a little hard time figuring out what we were going to do after tavern so we all drove over to the lighthouse on marblehead neck and sat and chatted.
I got a NICE card from the girls where they had all written something and also a giftcard for itunes for 50 dollars!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I miss u already!
Inlagg!
Two more days until Pattrick, the boys and I will go on the road which will take us across the country! I am excited! But am I really ready to leave everything already?
These past seven months have gone by faster than I could ever imagine.
My computer is still extremely out of control. I just sent in my papers to Sweden for a recovery disc. its silly how complicated it has to be just to recieve a small freaking disc which can start my computer. But thats the way it is!
I am sitting here typing on Patricks computer, Mac Apple! ;)
Its time to go and get Joseph from school. tomorrow will be my last time to pick him and Nicholas up from sad. Its really sad!
