swedish tradition - Blogabond

Ok so this week has been a blast so far we are constantly laughing our asses off. We also got to go to the prom like I mentioned earlier which is sooo different from ours. They all kinda parade around the town in these old school cars then to the dance hall. There were hundreds of people there watching all the cars arrive. We then took some pics with our teammates, they looked so beautiful! Then on thursday we went to there graduation which is also totally different from our style. What happens is each class has about 30 in it and they announce the class open the school door and they just come running out! The girls are wearing white dresses and guys wearing black and white suits and they have captain hats on.

All the familys have picket sign type things with pictures of their kid as well a kid ha. That was so fun to see, after they take pics with the fam they all load up into this big tractor or truck and drive around town yelling and screaming soo cool to see. On wednesday we had an early bday celebration for sam, we made burritos and chocolate cake with strawberries and raspberries on top. It was a lot of fun sam boo and I ended up staying up till 5 just talking and laughing we for some reason had decided to have this crazy session in the bathroom! Needless to say with the sleep deprived delirium setting in it made for a very entertaining night!

Ok so I also have some bad news. 2 games ago I forgot to mention that I got knocked by a forward after coming out of the box to clear a loose ball. I thought I had just got the wind knocked out of me and had some spasiming muscles so played on. Yesterday I got the news that I broke my rib and am going to be out for 5 weeks. Just wanted to tell you that because now what I talk about in my blogs will change.

ciao
