BLOMMOR/FLOWERS IN SWEDEN

Russ and I went with Eva Peva Sava Kvast and "Brad Pitt" Bjorn to Jamtland/Skarvangen and there we found the most wonderful wild flowers.

Summer in Sweden/Sverige

We have just returned from the most incredible seven week visit back home in Sweden. I promise I will post some more when I get caught up (will that ever happen?) I hope so.

RUSS "The love of my life"

A little tribute to the man that completed my dreams from my childhood. You can be this happy every single day of your life and be treated with such respect, love and have so much fun! Russ I love you and these past soon to be 7 years have been the best years of my life. You make me feel so loved and so accepted and every day with you is a gift from Heaven. I knew you were out there and how grateful I am that we found each other. You are the bestest and then some. I admire and love you for how you love your children, my children and all people around you. You have no malice towards anyone. I have never known a more pure and beatiful person as you. Heavenly Father must love me so much to allow me to be with you! Thank you for every minute with you... you are my dream come true! Happy Valentines Day and every day! Please say a prayer and/or keep Russ in your thoughts this upcoming 18th of February. He is having his surgery then!

Christmas 2008 in Providence

Megan came down from Seattle to spend a few weeks with Russ and I for Christmas. It was so much fun to have her around. She is always a treat! She had a break from her hard army life and all her studies at the university becoming a nurse! We wish her the best!

It is great to have a nurse in the family. Someone that will take care of the old folks... like us!

Jessica came down during my surgery in September. She is a good little nurse too!

We wish we could have everyone home for Christmas, but with the numbers we have in our family it is difficult! You all were greatly missed!
