Goodbye 2011 & Goodbye Blog
A new year, 2012. It's time to say goodbye to 2011 and look ahead.
2011 was a truly magical and eventful year. Let's take off where I finished the recap of 2010.
We spent the first days of 2011 in Romme, skiing. We had just got engaged and had a lot to celebrate and a wedding to plan!
January: We started planning for our wedding. We booked a church, got my engagement ring changed for the right size and started thinking about who to invite. James sister Kristina turned 30 and we went to England to celebrate her birthday.
February: We worked away in our kitchen, James spent all his spare time completely gutting it. I did a lot of running even though it was freezing cold and lots of snow, and went for cosy cheese/girls nights. The cold was getting to me as it had been such a long winter, and it was still about -20! We kept planning for the wedding, and decided that we wanted to go to South Africa for our honeymoon. I did a lot of riding in the snow, and went to a riding house every other weekend. Me and Gabriella booked tickets to go and see Rihanna.
March: We sent Josephine off for the third try of getting her pregnant. I did a lot of running but started to feel strange and weak and struggled to breathe. We kept planning for our wedding, and worried a bit as it felt like the costs where piling up. The snow finally started to melt, and I was looking forward to spring. I went to my high school reunion and had a blast.
April: We kept planning for the wedding. I went dress shopping with my mum, and booked a hair dresser. The winter was finally giving way for a wet and cold spring. I went to the doctor for my breathing problems and was told that I had astma! She gave me medicine that instantly made me feel better. Thank god! We found out that Josephine was expecting kittens. We kept working hard in the kitchen every weekend. I started doing longer runs, and felt like superwoman with my inhalers. I started my 100 day abs challenge. I went for an adventorous ride on Ottino with Elina and Emmi. At the end of April it suddenly got really warm and started to feel like summer!
May: It started snowing again, we couldn't believe it! Luckily it didn't last long. Josephine gave birth to four lovely kittens! We started to plan the last bits for the wedding, everything was coming together but there was lots to think about. We looked after the kittens, worked in the kitchen and planned the wedding. I did lots of running and horse riding and worked away on my abs challenge. James went to England for his stag do, and I went for a Rockabilly party. My friends arranged a crazy hen do for me!
July: We went on our honeymoon to South Africa, where we spent three wonderful weeks! We went to the Victoria Falls, we rode on elephants, fed monkeys, went for a whale safari, experienced Kruger Park, ate in the best restaurant in Cape Town, drove through Swaziland, went for wine tasting in Stellenbosch. We also celebrated James' birthday over there. It was a perfect honeymoon with lots of laughs, new experiences and great food and wine! I also finished my abs challenge and felt fit and happy!
August: I started horse riding again and started taking jumping lessons. The kittens kept growing. It was summer, no more stress about the wedding and we were all relaxed after our wonderful honeymoon. Happy days! We got a beautiful photo book of our wedding from our friends Jens and Christin! I wanted a change and dyed my hair. We went to a wedding, Madéleine and Peter got married. It was lovely and brought back memories from our own wedding. I went to the opera with work. It was very very hot.
September: We celebrated Emmi's and Elina's birthdays. Elina turned 25 so we took her to Västerås for a day of shopping and a make up course, and then arranged a surprise party. Two of the kittens left us and it was sad to say goodbye. I started singing in a choir with Alina and my mum. It started getting darker in the evenings and I really didn't want summer to end! James' parents came over to visit us. James started riding with me more and more. Me and Linda (Corvette's owner) both entered a jumping competition with Corvette. It was Corvette's first time and it went really well! Domino left us at the end of the month, to go to his new home in Russia.
October: I started a new challenge involving doing push ups every day. I kept up my running and horse riding. Me and Alina went to watch Emma's band One By One perform. I got a hair cut and worked at the technical exhibition in Stockholm. I got a cold and felt a bit iffy. I started to miss being blonde. As soon as I started to feel better I stepped up my running again. I finished my four week push up challenge feeling really strong!
November: Me and Gabriella went to Stockholm to watch Rihanna perform. That was a big time fail as all we got to see after 4 hours of waiting was a guy who informed everyone that she was ill and could not go through with the show. We stayed in a hotel and spent the next day shopping in Stockholm. We celebrated Gabriella's birthday and I went to a reunion party with my old college. I went bowling with work. James started riding Miramis once a week and we started riding together every Sunday.
December:
I went back to being blonde. I turned 26 and got properly celebrated by my family, a dinner out with James and a girls night with my friends. We spent Christmas at my parents house, and had a few lovely days off with horse riding and seeing friends. James' parents came over and we went to Sälen for New Years.
So, what does 2012 have in store for us? Well...
Just like last year we will start counting down to June 25, but for a whole new reason.
On June 25 we are expecting our first baby!
So let me tell you, 2012 will be another magical year, full of new experiences and whole new roles for us. We are going to become parents. We are happy and excited to start our own little family, and we can't wait for whoever is in inside my belly to come out and meet us. I know James will be the best dad you could wish for, and I will do everything I can to be the best mum I can be.
So goodbye 2011, and hello new adventures that lies ahead in the year to come!
Thank you to everyone who has been following my blog, I have loved writing it knowing that there are people out there reading. If I ever decide to start a new blog up I will post it on here!
LOTS OF LOVE!

June: The month of our wedding! We had so much to sort out the last weeks. I took a break from horse riding to have time for the wedding preparations. The kittens kept growing. I still did lots of running which was a great way for me to relax. James family and our friends came over to help out with the last bits before the wedding. Then the day arrived and it was perfect! On June 25 we got married surrounded by all our friends and family. I will remember that for ever.

Sälen
So we are now back to our normal life after a few days in Sälen. Sälen is beautiful and much bigger than I expected. We got through three out of four of the different parts of it, and probably didn't get through more than a tenth of all the slopes.
The first day we did a few runs with Geoff and Sandra, then we checked in and had dinner in our flat. It was a very nice little flat with two bedrooms, a kitchen, a dining area, a front room and an open fire place.
The second day Geoff hurt his hamstring falling over and as we were stuck on a part they couldn't get down they were carried off the mountain on snow scooters. James and his parents went to have a sauna and a jacuzzi whilst I relaxed, and in the evening we ordered pizza.
On the day of new year's eve Geoff was unable to ski so Sandra did one run with me and James. She did very well and didn't fall over once but was worn out after three days off skiing. The rest of the day me and James spent skiing over to the next resort and trying out their slopes.
In the evening James made us a New Year's dinner which was just gorgeous!
Then we went to a bar to watch a live band and have a few drinks. Geoff wasn't feeling well so I took him back to the flat, and then me James and Sandra spent the first few minutes of 2012 watching the fireworks before we headed back to the flat.
On the last day we had a lie in, then James and I hit the slopes. It has snowed lots in the night, and there was hardly anyone in the slopes so we got a few good runs before it was time to pack up and check out.
The drive back took forever due to the snow, and when we finally got home we ordered a take away as no one felt like cooking. My parents popped around for a few hours to hear all about our trip, and then we fell asleep, knackered after four days of skiing and the long drive.
A proper winter holiday, I really enjoyed spending time with James and my in laws in beautiful Sälen!
