week 2

www.umeacomets.se  See the results of our scrimmage games last weekend!

After a long (5 hr) and smelly (16 yr old boys don't know how to apply deodorant) bus ride back to Umea from the weekend, we went to a sports bar called All Star on Sunday night.  We watched the second half of the U.S. vs Turkey final game on the big screen with some appetizers and drinks.  It felt good to watch players that I am familiar with and see the U.S. dominating (no surprise there ha).
Emma and I


We have had training sessions, shooting sessions, and weights so far and I think the girls and I are looking forward to a weekend off!  There is a men's floorball game this weekend.  For all of you who don't know what floorball is; basically it consists of a whiffle type of ball and is similar to roller hockey.  The team here in Umea is pretty good and are in the top of their league.  I am looking forward to a weekend of fun and bonding time (FLC hooligans: we all know what this means :). aka: similar to Disney movie night) with the team.

Emma, Johanna, Ida, Henna, and Janett

I finally got my bike up and running with a trip to the bike shop and a lift of the saddle and handlebars, it is still like a migit bike on me.  Either I look like a giant riding it, or I am riding a little kids bike; depends on how you look at it.

Tonight for dinner we had to rush from practice so Henna could catch Swedish Idol.  It is amazing to me that the "good" singers/performers can sing American songs and not sound anything like they speak another language.  On the other hand, the bad singers are not so fortunate.  And for all of you who wonder, yes they watch Jersey Shore here!  ha Season two is a big hit so far and the dirty drama takes up a lot of our locker room talk.  I guess I need to get caught up...ha

Tomorrow we don't have training until 5 so I think I am going to try and see some of the city on my overly large sized bike I have.  I may or may not do some shopping, which could get interesting.  For those of you who know (Dave and Ashley) I tend to buy a lot when I shop.  It is something I need to work on containing myself when I buy things. ha  and Dave has already informed me that I have done/will do all or most of his shopping.  So that is the plan for tomorrow. well see how it goes and if I still have any crowns left after tomorrows extravaganza.


Gram.  Hejda means bye in Swedish.  I love you I believe is: Jag älskar dig!! 


I need to enroll in a Swedish class ASAP! ha still working on that one...


Well that is all for now. I will write soon.
