Just when I was ready to buy a bathing suit.....

Well, we were sure that winter had come and gone without any snow, and then last week - nearing the end of March and the week before Easter ... it snowed. Weather in Sweden is completely unpredictable. We were actually really excited to get snow - and we had completely given up hope and then it came. =)

Its funny because Ron's friend Eric came to stay with us all last week and it was raining when he showed up - windy and sunny throughout most the week and then it started snowing right before he left, so we feel like he got to experience a few seasons in one week.

Here are some pictures I took. yay!











And here is a picture of Ron and Eric, we are so happy that he came and visit - its really nice to have an American out here to talk to and hang out with.

Home Sweet Home

Alright, so you probably saw the post where I decided to take down the light blue wallpaper in the entryway - only to discover red wallpaper underneath? Well, after having red walls for awhile, I finally decided to bite the bullet and spend an entire weekend painting the entryway white. It was a total nightmare, but now the walls are white and we don't feel anxious every time we walk into our place. =)

We also bought some new stuff, like a rug and a sofa bed, so here are some pictures. Enjoy.









Did you notice that our Internet access is conveniently placed above our front door?





And we also got some new furniture, like this really great sofa bed and we got a new rug. Our place definitely feels more 'lived in' now.

Friends and Family - if you come to stay with us, this will be your bed. =) Its really really comfy and nice to sleep on - we love it!!!




Heres our new rug...it helps with the acoustics in the living room. Its a little bare and our ceilings are 8ft tall, then along with the wooden floors - it echoes alot.

We've actually had our eye on this rug for awhile. =)






Here is the dining area ....its nice and sunny these days. =)





The Skype phone ....



The Office ...






Alright, well thats what our home looks like now that we are more settled in. =)
