It has been a few weeks since my sisters have left Sweden,
and I know that I had promised to have a blog up soon after they departed, but
I have been busy enjoying the nice weather that has FINALLY arrived to my part
of the world. It was a change that began while my sister’s were still here in
Uddevalla, and since they left we have been lucky enough to have 5 or 6 days of
sun a week, with temperatures in the high 60’s. So sorry I’m not sorry that I
have been spending more time at coffee shops like this, than writing blogs…
It was nice having the kids here to visit me for a few days
after they wrapped up their own travels around the continent. I got to show
them around the small slice of Sweden that I call home and they were lucky
enough to get to see us win a game.
I took the kids a few of the coffee shops I enjoy,
introduced them to my second family down at Butler’s, and also drove them to Smögen, a neat little tourist town on the coast.

The two highlights of their stay with me were the trip over
to Smögen, as it is just a really cool town to spend an
afternoon in and have a picnic and also having them at a game, since it has
been 2 years from the last time they had been able to watch me play live.

I think that by the end of their stay with me, the kids were
real envious of my lifestyle here, which, with the appearance of the sun, has
only gotten even more relaxing.
The past few weeks soccer-wise have been somewhat frustrating,
as we have struggled to find some consistent form. Although we are still
hanging around near the top of table I don’t think we have any chance of being
promoted unless we can win 6 or 7 games in a row. Whether or not that happens,
I think that we have already exceeded our expectations for the year and now we
have to continue to improve so that we can be successful again next season.
That’s all that I have for now, ha det brå!
