The night before last we had a camp out at Lynnies. It was probably one of the most depressing times in my return home yet. Leigh was suppose to camp out with us but didn't and Lyn got tons of Swedish Fish and Mountain Dew it was like a memorial service or something. Everything Sofia loved was there and *sighh* she wasn't :(
Then last night we went house sitting together. I have never sitted a house before but it wasnt so bad! They have ahuge inground pool and a big screen Tv. Comfortable couches and ... an inground pool. okay so I liked the pool alot :) We ate mcdonalds and ice cream and movie popcorn and I thought i was going to die from all the food. We watched Push, American Teens, and Honey and then we crashed!
I found out that I am WAY behind on the whole college thing. I was looking through my papers and all of them are due on August 1. So I had schedule a physical and all my shots and stuff for tomorrow and wednesday and then I have to take everything up there on Thursday guhhhhhhhhhh I think I could go crazy!
Tonight Nathan and I were going to go to the Mississinewa and sit by the water and eat yummy berries and watch the office on his laptop because he says that I need to watch them all because they are hularious and I am missing out. Doesn't that sound like an amazing date :) aside from the fact that his laptop only lasts 2 hours hahaa but I decided that my mommy wants to hang out with me or something and I have tons of things to do like fill all this financial aid crap and make a bunch of copies and clean my room and car and blah blah. :( I wish I could have gone out with him tonight :(
At 11 - if the rents let me- I am going back to The Prosecutors house to help lyn house sit. lol because its one of those things that you need help with :)
Anywho I should probably be going. I have tons more stuff to do.
Loveth thee

Well, it has been like 2 weeks since I have written on here and let me tell you... what an exciting 2 weeks!
I will start off by saying the plane ride home was great! My little tv screen worked and I watched Inkheart and a few other movies and I listened to music that I could have only listened to in aforeign country the entire way home! The food was super gross, but my travel buddy was pretty cool :) lol No Sofia, it wasn't a hot guy who I was to exhausted to flirt with....gosh! :) When I got off the plane I hugged my parents and we went to Wendys.lol They don't have that in Sweden :) Then I went home to a clean bedroom and jumped on my perfectly made bed and crashed! :) On Saturday Lyn,Nathan,Jakyl, and LuLu came over and I finally got to meet Emma :) Thatwas pretty awesome She is just as adorable in person as she is in pictures :) We swam and fireworked and hung out and stuff. Then on Monday I left for la Church-o Camp-o. It was pretty fun stuff and I made a buncha new friends.. and now I am home again and I will be for quite awhile.
I am really missing Sweden though. Yesterday Lyn came over and she gave me a Mountain Dew and I took a sip and thought of Sosso :( I wore one of the shirts I wore in sweden a few days ago and found a Moses or Malte hair :( and I was going though my cell phone and found Sofia's cell phone number, Sofias host moms cell phone, sofias house... all these sofia numbers that I knew I couldnt call :( It sucks. It feels like I have been seperated from my twin sister indefinately. Sighhh Its painful.

10 things I am missing

1. Family...duh
2. Friends... duh again
3. The boyfriend...duh again again
4. My Beautiful Mexican Car
5. My bed and Pillow
6. My mother's cooking
7. Being able to drive where I want to drive
8. Denver...wow
9. Sven!!! And Emma and Smittie And Tilt.
10. My cell phone. It has been so painful looking at it day after day and not being about to pick it up and text :( Very Very Painful

There are more but I am keeping the Johansson's awake past there bed time! mohahahha

Day 29

The last day is finally here and is almost over. I woke up thinking '' WOAH a month already!!'' and I am going to bed thinking ''woah where did the time go''. I just cannot figure out where the entire month went! It's insane!
This morning Sofia and I got up and went into the city. I spent all my money and was only a little satisfied with what I got for everyone. It was so tough trying to find stuff because absolutely nothing said SWEDEN on it. I wanted to get you guys something that was kind of like you know... a souvenier.... Before we hopped on the bus we got some lunch. Sofia got her favorite: pasta och kryddig köttfärssås from the pasta huset. I know... sounds foreign. I on the other hand got another one of those delicious hotdogs! They are so good lol. When we got back home we chilled out for about 2 hours and then went back to the city and met Caroline and Amanda. The Taris couldn't meet us tonight because they had something else to do and it really made me sad! I love those Isabell ,Amanda, and Matilda! When we found Amanda and Caroline we went and bought our movie tickeys. Then we walked around a while because Amanda wanted Japanese food and Sofia and I raided the music store. lol I walked away with 2 guitar magazines that said Jackson :) We went back to the movies and settled into our 3rd row purple chair and watched Transformers 2! It was AWESOME! I think there was alot more action in the second movie than there was in the first. I really loved it though! Those are some great movies. TearTear my last swedish movie :(
I am really going to miss Sofia, Helena, Brigitta, and Ove. They have been my home for the last 4 weeks. Ifeel like I am like being parted with a twin or something. Even though Sofia and I fought ALL the TIME!... sigh...
Anyways enough about missing Sweden... I miss America!!!!
Love Sheila

Day 27 and 28

Hey! We left the cabin and came back to Hyltebruk yesterday only to come home and pack up again. When we got home yesterday I finished reading My Sister's Keeper... Its a heartbreaker... and then I started packing all my bags. Today we are going back to the cabin and we are leaving Wednesday to go to the airport straight from the cabin, So I have to make sure I get everything out of here and I am totally not ready. lol Today we are going swimming and stuff and tomorrow we are shopping and hanging out with everyone one last time :( It is really sad I have made such great friends here.
Mom, will you please call the library and reserve Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen? Thank you :) I will call you guys before we leave for the cabin.
Welp, gotta go finish packing up now! Love you!
P.S. I forgot lol Sofia and I finished Season 3 of Roswell... There are no more episodes any more ;( No more super sweet alien powered people to watch!

Day 26

Hey! Happy fourth of July! I am pretty sad that no one shares the excitement with me here! This morning we ran to the city and got my money from the Western Union. I had to call mom because I accidently wrote the number down wrong...woops! After I finally achieved getting my moula, we went to Max's and got some lunch! Last time I was there I got this cheese burger only it had like mayonaisse and no mustard and ketchup and all this junk so this time I went for the chicken nuggets! After we ordered the food we came back here and ate and then Sof and I went down to the ocean and it was packed! We walked a little down the beach and for these rocks and we started stepping on these stones out over the water and finally we got to this super big rock. Like so big that we both could put our towel down and lay there and tan and still have space to have a party. That big of a rock! It was so relaxing! We were like inches from the water and there was no one around us because everyone else was on the beach and we were over the water... It was the coolest place ever and if I lived here I would go out there every single day and read a book.
This morning, Sofia and I decided that it was in our best interests not to go to the Amusement park. Since I don't have a lot of money and Helena isn't going to go it would just be better if we didnt and hey.. I am planning on going to Indiana Beach again this year any way -hahaha-
Not that Indiana is any comparison to Liseberg or anything.
Tonight Sofia and I are going to finish watching Roswell since Ove will probably go to bed around 8 and Helena will be at work. We have 4 episodes left I believe and I cannot wait to see Liz beat the crap out of Tess! Wooooo hoo!
Wow so I have been calculating and I only have 3 full days left here in paradise and I am starting to get kind of nervous. On the way to Sweden, I sent my bags through from Fort Wayne and didnt have to get them until I got Gothenburg. On the way home I have to send them through at Gothenburg and then pick them up in Detroit and then check them through again to go to Fort Wayne and I am so afraid that I am going to like not be able to get all my bags and then go through check in again and then get to my terminal in the Detroit Airport you know...It is a pretty big place. Hopefully that won't happen though :)
Welp I think I will be going now. I think the chicken is done and its time to eat! Gosh I am so sad :( I want to see some fireworks. DAD! You better have bought extras for next saturday! :) Have fun family and friends! Love you all!! Light a sparkler for me :D and maybe a few bottle rockets! aghhhhhh

Day 24,25

Hey! Sorry I didn't get online at all yesterday. I got up around 11 and then Sofia and I hung out and watched Roswell until around 330 and then we packed up and jumped on the bus. We rode for like over an hour from Hylte to Halmstad and it was the most terrible-est hour of my life. lol I hated it. It was hot and I didn't feel well and it was just ugh!When we got here we decided to start by playing some cards. So we sat down and soon found out that Moses and Malte ate like 7 diamonds so we made cards with paper and played until Brigitta and Helena came home! They brought home japanese lol and im loving the rice and taryaki chicken stuff! After we ate Amanda came over and we rode bikes down to the super market to buy some new cards and snacks and then we came back here and played cards and popped in Moulin Rouge. Then we walked the dogs and walked with Amanda down to the bus stop.
This morning we went to the city and I was going to get my money but they are making me fill out all this paperwork stuff and so i am just going to get it tonight. We went to H &M and mom! you should be proud I didn't even buy anything. Except for postcards but that was the money place and gosh!lol I bought the store out of stamps :) How funny is that! I had to go somewhere else to buy the rest.
Tonight we are meeting Isabell, Amanda, Amanda, and Caroline at the pizza place and I don't know what we are doing tomorrow. I am going to be very tired come wednesday when I am traveling home because the plan is we are amusement parking on Tuesday.
PS I am bringing home Authentic Turkish Delights! and lemme tell you! They are delicious!!!!

Days 22 and 23

Sorry I missed out on writing yesterday! We left the cabin at around 6 ish and went to Isabells house and camped out! It was so fun! When we got there we sat on the trampoline and the tire swings and just hung out because they werent home but then they got home and we walked down to the supermarket and Isabells mom made some tacos! These are the first normal tacos I have had since I got here and do you know what i did. I put cucumbers and corn on my taco and no cheese. Can you believe this. I mean when i first got here one of the first meals I had was this chicken burrito thing but i mean... i love tacos with corn and cucumbers! it sounds discusting to me. lol After dinner Isabells friends came over and we went to the pool. I learned how to jump a fence so that was fun :) Anyways Sofia and I didnt want to swim so we went and attempted to watch the sun set but then we got side tracked and ended up rolling down the hill and we did it again and again. When amanda,amanda,matilda,caroline,jasper and his girlfriend, and tim all came out they...well some of them.. rolled down the hill too. So if you can imagine a super steep hill with like 5 or 6 people rolling down at the same time... thats what it looked like! At one point I accidently kicked tim in the nose and he wouldnt let me forget it. When we got back to the Taris domain, amanda and isabell went about putting the tent up in the dark! We had ice cream with bananas and strawberries and then we ventured inside and we put in Scary Movie 2 and then watched Club Dread. I don't recommend either of them. They are super dumb and really boring. But we had fun watching them all together and we had candies and chips and after the movies it was light outside again so we went for a short walk and decided it was time to sleep. So at around 430 we got in the tent and finally at around 6 we all got to sleep. Then at 10ish we got up and ate some bfast and just hung out! It was very fun minus the part about Swedish people not have bug spray. I should invent it over here... lol I would make a fortune. There are more bugs here than there are in the middle of the night by a big light in the middle of the forest. :) Anyways we are back in Hyltebruk and Helena is coming home tonight. We are going to watch Armageddon because Sofia says it is not possible for me to not see it lol and then hopefully we can watch some Roswell. I feels Roswell deprived even though right now I feel as if I hate Max and Michael and Maria broke up and its like this whole fiction story in my head is falling apart :(
I think I am catching a cold probably from be out side all night last night. I am sneezing alot and my voice is starting to sound wierd... ughh! One more week I dont know how I feel!Love you all!!!
