Men det ar roligt att ga och se basket live. Jag langtar nastan tills da jag kan fa tillfalle att se en Bulls match live.

On Friday we went and saw NY Knicks vs. Utah Jazz at Madison Square Garden. Knicks won by a lot. It’s not a super great team and the team they played against is not the best either. But it is very fun to go and see basketball live. I can not wait until I can get the chance to see a Bulls game live.

Nu har jag precis kommit hem fran repet jag hade idag. I sista minuten kom jag med i nagon slags flash-mob som vi ska gora pa tisdag. Haha, jazzigt och showigt, men kul hade vi. Efterat gick vi och at lunch pa ett litet stalle i narheten. Och med vi menar jag Jeanette och jag, en tjej som ocksa vaxte upp i Falkenberg och jag har inte sett henne pa evigheter. Hon kom pa var filmpremiar i februari och sedan har vi inte hunnit ses. Hade en mycket trevlig lunch.
Nu ska jag vila min trotta rygg en stund. Jag har gjort mycket styrka pa gymmet for just ryggen den har veckan och det kanns. Ikvall blir det basket vilket jag ser fram emot!

I just came home from the rehearsal I had today. At the last minute I got into some kind of flash-mob that we will do on Tuesday. Haha, jazzy and showy, but we had fun. Afterwards we went for lunch at a small place nearby. And by we, I mean Jeanette and I, a girl who also grew up in Falkenberg and I haven’t seen her in ages. She came on our film premiere in February, and we haven’t got time to see each other since then. Had a very nice lunch.
Now I will rest my tired back for a moment. I’ve done a lot of strength at the gym for just my back this week and I feel it. Tonight we going to basketball and I’m really looking forward to it!

Jim came home with champagne and chocolate yesterday. Not just me who wanted to celebrate our love:) We had a cozy evening together and we finally got to use our glass from Tiffany & Co, they have been in our cabinet just collecting dust.
Soon, I’ll be off on something a little outside my box, haha. Hope it will be fun! I’ll tell you more about it later, cause now I don’t know so much about it:)

Det kanske inte ar nagot man firar (..?), men den har dagen kanns speciell. Det ar ett ar sedan vi forlovade oss ♥

For ett ar sedan, 6 Mars, hade jag ljusrep pa DNA. Jag kom hem och la mig raklang pa golvet med vark i hela kroppen och trott i huvudet. Snart kom Jim hem, och han som har samma rutiner nar han kommer hem fran jobbet varje dag sprang runt i cirklar och betedde sig konstigt. Tillslut hjalpte han mig upp fran golvet och vi kramades.
I den langa kramen tog han sedan upp en glittrande vacker diamantring framfor mitt ansiktet och fragade om jag ville bli hans for alltid. “Of course”, blev mitt svar nar den fosta chocken hade lagt sig, hahha. Sen ett yes yes YES.
Han tog min hogra hand och jag tittade bara pa honom och log: “wrong hand, honey” 🙂

Den kvallen var sa magisk pa nat satt. Vi satt uppe hela kvallen och drack champagne och Jim berattade om allt vi behover gora sa att jag kan stanna hos honom i USA. Han hade tagit reda pa allt och hade redan fatt tag i en advokat. Wow, sa mycket information jag fick, haha. Han hade ju vetat om att han skulle fria i ett bra tag och sedan vantat pa att ringen skulle bli klar, sa han lag lite fore mig i allt det har. Jag var ju bara lycklig over att mannen jag alskar precis hade fragat om jag ville spendera resten av mitt liv med honom ♥
Vid midnatt ringde jag min familj. Klockan var ju 6:00 i Sverige och arbetsdagen skulle borja. Pappas fina fnittrande kommer jag inte glomma, och mamma som redan var pa jobbet som borjade skratta. Min alskade syster lat nyvaken och forsokte dolja att hon grat. Jag kande mig som en liten flicka igen som plotsligt skulle vaxa upp och bli vuxen. Jag skulle gifta mig.

It may not be something to celebrate ( ..?), but today feels special. It’s one year since we got engaged ♥

One year ago, on March 6, I had light rehearsal at DNA. I came home and laid myself flat on the floor with pain throughout my body and tired in my head. Soon, Jim came home, and normally having the same routine when coming home from work every day, he was just running around in circles and behaved strangely. Eventually, he helped me up from the floor and we hugged.
In that long hug he put a sparkly beautiful diamond ring in front of my face and asked if I wanted to be his forever. “Of course” was my response when the first shock had subsided, hahha. Then a yes yes YES.
He took my right hand and I just looked at him and smiled: “wrong hand, honey” 🙂

That evening was so magical in a way. We stayed up all evening and drank champagne and Jim talk about everything we needed to do so that I could stay with him in the U.S. He had done research on everything and had already found a lawyer. Wow, so much information I got, haha. He had known that he would propose for a while and then waited for the ring to be ready, so he was a bit ahead of me in everything in all this. I was just happy over that the man I love had just asked if I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him ♥
At midnight I called my family. The time was 6:00 in Sweden and working day would soon begin. My dads nice giggling I will not forget about, and mom was already at work and began to laugh. My beloved sister sounded like she just woke up and tried to hide that she was crying. I felt like a little girl again that suddenly would grow up and become an adult. I was getting married.

Jag kan inte sluta lyssna pa Madonna‘s “Girl gone wild” som var oppningslaten pa hennes konsert som vi var pa for 1,5 ar sedan. Den far mig pa sa bra humor. Varje morgon i tva veckors tid har jag lyssnat pa den laten nar jag borstat tanderna. Av nagon anledning blir jag valdigt peppad infor dagens aventyr.

I can not stop listening to Madonna‘s “Girl gone wild” which was the opening song at her concert that we went to 1,5 year ago. It gets me in such a good mood. Every morning for two weeks I have been listening to that song when I brush my teeth. For some reason it gives me power for that day’s adventures.

Jag ar ett stort fan av Madonna, alltid varit. Denna kvinna har gjort sa mycket i hennes liv. Borjade som modern dansare, flyttade till New York, spelade i ett band, tog over som sangerska och gjorde inte direkt ett bra jobb (lyssna pa hennes forsta album sa forstar du), sjong i barer runtom pa Manhattan, gjorde sig popular bland tjejer och inom gay-community, blev storre och storre och idag har hon film, bocker, scenkonst, ja allt man kan tanka sig i sitt bagage. Vilken otrolig inspiration.

Jag gillar inte allt som Madonna har gjort saklart. Hon skriker hogt och har starka asikter, vilket ger henne uppmarksamhet forstas och det har tagit henne dit hon ar idag. Men, hennes drivkraft ar otroligt inspirerande. Jag laste ju en bok om Madonna for ett tag sedan. Hon ar otroligt begavad, hon har en stark vilja, ar valdigt disciplinerad och det vill man garna ta efter.

I’m a huge fan of Madonna, always has been. This woman has done so much in her life. Began as a modern dancer, moved to New York, played in a band, took over as lead singer and didn’t do a great job (listen to her first album and you’ll understand), sang in bars all over Manhattan, made ​​herself popular among girls and in the gay-community, she became bigger and bigger and today, she has movies, books, performing arts, well everything you can fill in your bag. What an incredible inspiration.
I don’t like everything Madonna has done of course. She’s loud and have strong opinions, giving her the attention of course and it has taken her to where she is today. However, she is so driven which is incredibly inspiring. I read a book about Madonna a while ago. She is incredibly gifted, she has a strong will, is very disciplined and that’s some things you wanna strive for.
