Wonderful Weekend.


Pictures: Taken by me and L using my iPhone

I don't know where to begin but to say that I've had the most wonderful weekend in a very long time. After the exam I arranged a party on Friday evening at my place for some friends. I baked during Friday morning and made my famous vanilla pannacotta with raspberries and mini pies with nectarines formed as a rose on top. They were both very popular among the guests!

V came the same evening and joined us all when we headed out dancing. We didn't come home until 3 AM in the morning.. Guess it's a good sign everybody had a good time ;) 

We spent most of the time yesterday at home, sleeping and trying to get our strength back from all the dancing during Friday night. During the evening we met up with L & V and had pizza and watched "Taken" together at L's place. Very cosy evening spending time together the four of us. 

These last couple of days went so fast and I was so sad when V had to go home today :( It breaks my heart every time we have to say good bye and to be apart.. I love him so much and a new count down has begun until we'll see each other again. I can't wait! ♥

Forever Friends.

I have three female friends, K, L & M which I spend most of my time with here in Örebro. We do everything together, cry, cuddle, dance, eat, hug, laugh, shop, study, travel, watch X-factor, work out and so on. They have in a short period of time become my closest friends, truly they are like the sisters I never had. This poem is dedicated to my girls, I love you with all my heart. 

"I took a walk at dawn the other day and found myself admiring the golden rain of leaves falling on my head. I felt so happy I managed to leave the warm bed. The trees were now blushing, showing a deep warm red. That is when I remembered all the beautiful memories we have all shared. 

Listen to the whispering wind underneath the old oak tree. It will tell you how much your spirits has lifted me. For you have all teached me valuable lessons about life. I shall wait patiently to grow in the light of your eyes. Always seeking for approval, always knowing that I can find comfort in your loving embraces. I will never forget any of your beautiful and smiling faces. 

To be able to hear the joy ringing in your laughter's always makes me feel warm inside. I can not wait for the day I will become a bride, having my three best friends next by my side. In your company I can always give all of me. Thank you for always bringing out the best of me. 

I have come to realize the depth of true friendship. For it is almost as we have been sewn together with an unbreakable thread. I have learnt that the fabric only gets better with age and that it should always be handled with care. As it sometimes may rain upon it, it shall last throughout the storm.

I have re-discovered the beauty and unique personality within me only by taking part of meaningful lessons learned while discovering yours. This is something that still amazes me, today, tomorrow and after the day before. 

I close my eyes to feel the warmth of the autumn morning sun. My body feels like moving and so I begin to run. I realize what a precious gift I've been given. Recognizing my fortune to have such wonderful friends. I sighed with thankfulness, knowing that this sisterly bond only knows love and that it is unconditional. 

I shall nurture it with grace and acceptance. How lucky am I not to be able to share a piece of my life with three souls that so perfectly fits mine. Like a puzzle that previously have had missing pieces now finally is complete. I thank God every morning for the whispering winds as they remind me everyday to celebrate the gift of our friendship, to hold it close to our hearts but most important above all, to never let it go." ♥

Ps. Welcome October.

Autumn Days.

I managed to wake up before the alarm went off this morning, something I haven't done in a while. Guess it's a sign that I slept well. My exam is tomorrow so the last couple of days I've been studying with my friends. Not much more time for reflection which I might have needed in order to cope with all the stress.. 

Anyway it will all be over tomorrow and V is coming to Örebro on Friday and will be spending his weekend here with me. I'm so looking forward to it, to just hang out with him and with my friends. I'm even arranging a big party at my place on Friday! So I've got a few things on my mind so to speak, but I'm sure it will all be great! 

Time to get ready and head back to Uni, last day for us to study.. It's going to be a long day. Before I leave you guys I just wanted to say that I woke up with butterflies in my stomach today. Partly because of the first thought that pop up in my head was the exam tomorrow which normally results in shaky hands and a higher pulse than normal. And secondly because of the spectacular view outdoors, autumn makes my heart shiver just a little bit more, in a good way of course ♥
