Just dance

This isn't what the blog was gonna be about but look what I just noticed!
Under where you type it says " Shortcuts : Press Ctrl with B = Bold" etc. I've been wondering how I get the letters bold so that's interesting. But now I also saw that you can click up by the tools. Of course I'm one of the slower ones to notice that.

To the topic.
Saturday.
Two big events. (who can ever guess what it is?)
Prom with capital letters.
And Melvin was born :) Mika & Daniel's long wanted baby. He's adorable.
Can't wait to see this little miracle of life.

So prom.
Weather casts said "sunny all day" what a lie :o
Sun and wind during the morning, and then BOOM! Rain and thunder. What a storm.
Storm or not, it was a must to take pictures.
We all met up at Jenny's house first to then take the limo to For Mar to take the pictures.
It was still dripping rain but not so we would get soaked.
We got some good pictures and we were on the road to the restaurant where we were going to eat. Segano. When we saw the sign me and Heather began to say Segano with different accents the favorite one was the "chinese" one . Saginaaw. (which actually is a place not far from here)Got our tables and made our orders. I wanted both chickena and shrimps and so did Heather so we decided to take both and share it. How do I describe the table? It was a big rectangle with a not very wide table around one long side and both short ones, and chairs around that. So when they chef was making the food we could see it, and he did a kind of show during it too.

Extremly fascinating and the food, I kept saying how wonderful it was. Because it really was, I've never had good food like that before. You never wanted it to end , just to continue eating that amazing food. But of course, it had to end. Not without a bathroom break. Us girls went in together and helped each other with the dresses while going to the toilet. Never done that before so it was quite and experience.

Back in the limo and it was now raining again. It wasn't very far from Kettering University where the Prom was held so it was a quick trip.

We stepped out and gave our names to a man standing there and they introduced us in the microphone and took pictures, everyone on the balcony was cheering. Interesting.

We walked in and when we came up we noticed that Justin had dropped Heather's ticket...
So down to get the ticket that Mr Oaks had picked up.
In to the dance floor and Let's dance!
There was a table with fruit, chocolate fountain, punch etc etc.
Awesome night ! So much fun :)

Prom -09

Sitting here waiting for Jenny G to finish Heather's hair and then do mine.
It's impressive how good she is. Both her and her sister got very long hair so she can try different hairstyles on herself and sister. She's really good, kinda like a hairdresser.
I guess the plans for today are ;
Prepare everything for prom and put it all on.
Go to Jenny C's house for pictures
Take the limo from her house to For mar a nature place, and take more pictures.
Dinner
PROM
Home
Limo all the way :)

So getting kinda excited for the whole thing now :D
Plus that Mika is delivering today! or maybe she already has I don't know but it's So exciting.
To see the little baby, boy or girl , name etc :)
Time flies by so fast...

Skip <3

Yesterday was in general a very good saturday.
Except for one thing.
We had to put Skip down.

He's been an outside dog ever since I came here but maybe 2 months ago we started to take him inside. That's when we for real noticed how sick he is. Took him to the vet several times but they didn't see at first what was wrong with him so they came with new things every visit.
The first reason why we took him there was because of his diarrhea that got fixed, than his cough.
The last visit said that he got worms inside of him that has been living there for a while and that stops something to his heart.
So the last maybe two weeks he poofed up so his stomach looked like a balloon and it was filled with fluid and worms. He threw up at least once everyday.
It was painful to see him, that he could hardly find peace to fall asleep at night and was breathing very heavy. So these weeks when he's been living inside I've gotten to know him.
Which made it much harder to say bye to him.
It wasn't hard at first, but when we stood there next to him and they put the shot into him, it hurt. And all I could think of, If it was my dogs, I don't know what I would do.
I wanted to cry, but not in front of Heather.
He was only 7 years old.
But it was better for him to be put down so he didn't have to be in pain.

R.I.P Skip

I <3 L.A

A little update.
I'm not gonna write Everything but a few things about every day from the trip.

Saturday - Arrived to the hotel around 11.30 and Julie (Leaders were Julie and Susan) came down to meet me and showed me my room. 511. I was gonna share room with Lara - Germany(Michigan!!)Julie - Denmark and Elin - Norway (Michigan)

Sunday - Wake-up at 7 a.m . Down to breakfast. yuum! Fresh fruit and unsweetened oatmeal. And it made me So happy to see no clouds and Green grass. Wow the heat <3
Tour in L.A. Started at Venice beach and continued to Beverly Hills with a few stops in between and then to Farmers market for lunch, Melrose Avenue, Hollywood. I probably missed something but it was so much so i don't remember :o Anyway, the day ended with dinner in downtown L.A in a high house where the top was spinning slowly so you could see L.A while eating. And as a end we all went down to the inside pool and had fun.

Monday - Full day at Disneyland. We almost had 12 hours and we had time for like 5 or 6 rides! :o which means that the lines were Long. But we did a lot of other things too.
But a huuge disappointment was how small the castle is :o We thought it was gonna be big since it looks so big on pictures. But no, it was very small.
At night they have fireworks around the castle with a recording in the backround so it was like a story with the fireworks. I think all of us were pretty dead in the bus on the way back to the hotel. No time for swimming this night.

Tuesday - 6 / 7 hour ride to V E G A S !
Geez all the desert. Specially in Nevada. We made a stop in Santa Fe i guess still in California to eat. On to Vegas. We watched "What happens in Vegas" Funny movie ^^
Finally there, two hours to do what we wanted. Outside pool, guess where everyone was?
In our room, we just grabbed our bikini and ran down, we were the first ones there :P
Even warmer than L.A. Woow , love it. Swam a while and then tanning. What a tan for just that short amount of time! But we couldn't be there for long, time to get ready for tonights dinner and show. Buffé. we had an hour. How can we eat in that short time?? but we made it.
The show was "American superstars" Elvis, Michael Jackson, Christina Aguilera, Rod Stewart and some country person. Fake of course but really good.
This was in the Stratosphere. 900feet high. They have three rides on top.
One free fall thing, insanity - hanged out over the L.V strip and spinning around. and the third one was x-scream. Like a roller coaster kinda that tipped back and forth over the L.V strip. We went on that one. I for real thought i was gonna die before going on it...But then it turned out not to be to bad. I bought the picture and people told me i looked like winnie the pooh and that it was a compliment ? yeah okey haha.

Wednesday - Grand Canyon!
Three hour ride.
We passed Hoover Dam(big beautiful thing that President Hoover had made to make the economy better long time ago. Also a bridge seperating Nevada and Arizona)We Stoped at a ranch for lunch. Cool place.
After eating a guy mad card tricks, which seriously was imposible. All of us walked away amazed.
We could hang ourselves and shoot ourselves. I hanged myself.
This was by the edge of the canyon.
We took the bus to one of the two viewpoints "The eagle". It's an eagle shaped into the canyon. A big one. Really cool. We took a lot of pictures and took the bus to the other view point that i forgot the name of. It had a pyramid (by nature) that you could have a 360 degree view from.
Amazing. Never seen anything like it before. It truly was amazing.
For dinner we stoped at a food court back in Vegas and later we saw a water show at the hotel Bellagio. If you've seen Ocean eleven, in the end when they say their "secret goodbyes" that watershow is going on in the backround. Also inside of the hotel there was the worlds biggest chocholate fountain. We also "went lost" in the casino. We can't be there since we're to young but we walked thru it. Very fascinating.

Thursday - Last day. Tour down the Vegas strip.
Or first we stoped at the "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign and then to Las Vegas outlet.
So big and wonderful. I found a pair of Miss sixty jeans for $14 instead of $ 140...
Now, on to the strip. Just kidding we first went to a roller coaster and the worlds largest souviner shop. Then to the strip.
Forum shops where all the expensive shops were at. Tease not to be extremely wealthy...
It was sky in the ceiling so it looked like we were inside. It looked like it was mooving too which made it more realistic. In the Venitian hotel that we walked to was built like Venice inside. It really looked like Italy. The sky, houses, water , restaurants. All of it.
Very fascinating.
On the way back me and Elin decided to get Tattoos. Yes, tattoos. You love me mom right? (a)
So we continued down to another place.
Where another huge roller coaster in the hotel New York New York was at. Wow , uj what a roller coaster. Insane. Then we went to the M&M store. 4 floors. wooho. So sad to be the last day. On to dinner at a Brazilian restaurant in a big mall. So good food!
A little time to walk around the mall. Again the money tease...
We took the bus to Freemont street. Inside kinda tunnel i guess or something like that. It was a show in the ceiling. WOW. They were playing "We are the champions" and "We will rock you" It was like a show kinda in the ceileing. So cool.
We were all dancing around screaming. It was also a scene there so when the show was over they played music. And guess what they played "It's my life" with Bon Jovi. I don't know how you should know that just wrote it :P But it was Aaaaaawesome. Singing, jumping, dancing,screaming. What a perfect end!
In the bus back the music was on and we were all dancing in the eisle.
Non of us really wanted to go to bed, but at 2 we finally did :P So got a good 3 hours sleep ;)

Okey it got more than i thought, but once i start it's hard to stop and there's still so much more that happend...

Mathilda

Skills på top!

Wow, I'm feeling lucky today.

I had seen the wrong time when my plane was leaving so we came to late.
On the way there, two trains were passing, took between 5-10 min, not even kidding so slow.
It was a great morning! Oh yeah, it began with me oversleeping too...
But he managed to change my flight without extra cost and now it's only gonna be one change instead of two.
So I'm missing some things today, but it's better than going tomorrow which was an option too.
Good job Mattahari!!

Yesterday we celebrated Heather cuz it's her b-day tomorrow and I wont be here.
It was a surprise that was kinda ruined but it was a lot of fun we went to fuddruckers where they have Big and very good burgers and other things ofc.
Her brother sister were there, rhea's aunt w/ family and our family.
It was a great time. After that we all went to see the school musical which was this year Oklahoma. Heather plays in the pit-band first flute. It was a really good play, it was funny and the actors are really good. Then what Heather didn't know was that we were all going to our house for ice cream cake. She was told that she was going with her sister for ice cream, but no ;)
It was a lot of fun.

Done with swimming for this time. Too bad, I really liked it.
