Its been way too long, but I wont promise my posts will become more regular, because as history proves I have had a hard time keeping to those promises.. From now on I will write when I write, nothing else to it haha

I lost my email once again, now because I changed my password and then didnt use it for a while so I forgot what my new password was, and couldnt recover it because the phone number attached to the email was my US one and the secondary email was my old hotmail that was hacked a couple of months ago. Lets hope I dont have to change my email a third time in a two month period now haha..

 

As most of you probably now I am now back in Sweden, have been back here for a week now. Its fun being back, but had a great last month in the states. Got to see Tampa, Florida when I visited my friend Ashley, Washington DC when i visited my friend Erin, and Corolla, North Carolina when I visited Mr. C. Was very exciting, one of my goals was to see more places in the US before I left. 

 

In Tampa, we worked out, chilled on the beach, went to some awesome health stores, and I got to see the dolphin Winter from the movie Dolphin Tale at the aquarium that they shot the movie at, was really cool. We swam open water in like 2 meter waves (at least thats what it felt like), was really cool, allthough I later found out they had sharks in their water, that they would spot pretty regularly, so after that I didnt want to get back in to swim again haha Ashley and I also went shopping a little, but really way too much, I bought too many clothes, shoes, and assecories before I left..really struggled at the end bringing everything I wanted to home.. still have a bunch left with Mr. C.

 

A couple of weeks later I had my going away party in my apartment, it was the saturday after midsummer, so I also did my midsummer celebration that day and made Swedish traditional food for all my friends that day. Then a few days later on wednesday the 26th of June I left Cleveland FOR EVER!! haha joke aside, I left it for now..will likely make a visit in the future. However, I drove for 6 and a half hours through parts of Ohio, Pennsyvania, and the Maryland I believe to get to DC where I went sightseeing with Erin and ate delicious dinners. I saw the Washington Monument, The World War II Memorial, The Lincoln Memorial, The White House, T´he Capitol Building, and The Holocaust Museum. Was a really cool visit and a very cool city. On the last night Erin and I had the best lebanese food ever! was so YUMMY!!!

 

From DC I drove down to see Mr. C, who I had not seen for 6 weeks!!! He is spending the summer Lifeguarding in Corolla which is on the Outer Banks in North Carolina... A very very cool place! Google it and youll see ;)

Mr. C was the tannest Ive ever seen him and super handsome of course :P haha We spent a week down there together and he was able to get every day off but one day so that was awesome. We went around to different places around their sightseeing, one place we went to was an island called Ocracoke, it was super cool and different, like an island placed on a huge sandbar. Was really nice to see how his life was down their and to meet some of his new friends as well as some of my friends that also work there. When I was there I kinda wish I would have tried the lifeguarding on the beach life out once before leaving the states too. I left Corolla on the 5th of July to fly back to Sweden.. now I wont see Mr. C until he moves here in the fall, which is like 3-4 months away!!! CRAZY I KNOW! however, the fact that he is moving here makes it okay, I can live with 3-4 months apart... besides at the moment we are both doing things we want to do and thats very important that we can both do things we want to do even though it means we wont be physically together for a while! I would say, as much as you learn about eachother when you are together, you learn even more being apart!

 

Anyhow, now Im at my summer house on the Swedish West Coast! Its very nice here, weather is great... was getting really tired of the US summer..It was wayyyy tooo hotttt!!! Here we have a nice 75degree summer with a nice breeze.. love it! I have also finally got started with some regular workouts again which is sooo nice! My diabetes/my body really suffers/struggles when I do not workout regularly, as was the case during my 2 weeks of moving and traveling around the US. My sugar readings got so terrible, of course thats my own opinion and I am as you know super critical of myself! Now Ive beend three days without meal time insulin because I have been working out about 1hr30min-2hrs per day. My dad and I might do a sprint triahtlon down here next weekend which would be a nice warmup for my olympic triathlon in a little over a month.. Something I really have to get going on again is training for the half marathon plus signing up for it ;) haha.. Tomorrow, if the weather allows it (theres talk about rain) I will try to run 14km, my dad will run with me, holding my pace (or making me hold my pace), which means it will be his warm up/warm down pace haha maybe even slower! Maybe someday I will become a GREAT runner and I will be able to keep up! :P 

 

All I had to say for now, 

Hasta Luego!
