Sorry for the long time between updates, but I've been doing things almost every day since I arrived here. The sun rises around 10am and sets before 1.30pm. There is almost no snow at all, and the weather is relatively warm with temperatures being often positive during the day.
David and I got so many wonderful Christmas presents. A set of matching sheets, a food processer, a blender, a knife set, books, a basket for fika goodies, hair stuff, video game stuff, usb memory sticks, a bathrobe, and masses of other small presents. I'm so spoiled! Christmas was wonderful because it felt so much like Christmas back in the US. Lots of people, good food, presents everywhere, excited children, and lots of sitting around the table talking.
We've been meeting up with David's friends relatively often as well. Lunch, evenings playing games, evenings just talking, and of course, the random meetings in town. We've done a bit of shopping, played some video games, and generally been taking it pretty easy between running around like chickens with our heads cut off.
We've been eating LOTS of Christmas food. We ate it for Christmas Eve, Christmas day, the day after Christmas... and now we are working on the leftovers! I've never seen so much sill in my life!
So far it's been wonderful up here, and I'm looking forward to moving to Skellefteå this summer. It will be nice to have our own place with a bit of privacy though. This is very much like being back in my mom's house! Which is nice for awhile, but a fledged bird shouldn't return to its nest! I miss having my own apartment with my own kitchen sometimes. It's great to visit though and not have to do cooking for a few days! Anyways, we'll be back in Uppsala January 2nd. We'll see if I manage to update again before then. No promises!
