Back From Abroad!

As you may or may not know, the past three weeks I have been out of the country. I have spent my time in the country that stole my heart: Norway. We also spent a week in Stockholm, but I thought Norway was more fun. You could consider my opinion biased, though. Before my aunt, uncle, sister and I left for our Scandinavian adventure, my cousin got married! It was a beautiful ceremony where a tear may or may not have been brought to my eye. And the reception was a blast. Not only was the food and drinks good (and there were S'mores!), but the dancing was, as the kids say now-a-days "off the chain". Everyone, from my grandma, my aunt who had recently gotten a knee replacement and my the bride and groom, shook their groove thangs.

The Wedding was in San Francisco!!

My sister, me, and my little brother. I would say we clean up well. :)

Now, I have a lot to say about my vacation in Norway and Sweden. So for the two of you that may actually read this blog, I will let you know that I will do a separate entry for that trip. But because I have a lot to write about, I also need a lot of time to write it - and that I do not have now.

But after I got back I have had jetlag like never before. Our flight from Stockholm to LA was delayed for over 8 hours, so while we were supposed to touch down in LA at approximately 4PM, we landed a little but past midnight. So me and my sister were anything but tired, because we were used to the 9 hour time change in Norway/Sweden. So at about 1AM, me and mah bestie went to a 24 hour restaurant in Manhattan Beach that has muffins to die for (it's called The Kettle for those of you who want to know..). We then proceeded to walk to the beach and sit on the pier for a bit, then took the long way to get back to El Segundo, where we stopped at Vons to pick up a RedBox movie. We got back to the house and we figured out that a donut shop in town opened at 4AM. So at about 5, my sister, friend and I made our way over to get a box of freshly made donuts. Then we came back and started the movie, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. But both me and my friend fell asleep about 30 minutes into it, and woke up 4 hours later to start our day.

It is only about 3 weeks now until I move into my dorm at University of Delaware, and my friend, Sarah, said for the next 3 weeks that she is not letting me out of her sight - and she doesn;t care if I ever see my family (sarcasm implied...I think).
