I cannot believe I forgot to tell you guy about this.
Ok well the other day Ronny came home from work telling me he had a surprise for me. He tells me that on one of his calls for the day he went to this guys house to fix his washing machine and the guy had all these gold records on the wall that said Coldplay. So Ronny says to the guy "Whats up the records? Are you a member of Coldplay because if you are, I wouldnt be able to tell" (he doesnt know what most celebrities look like) and the guy said he worked with Coldplay. So to make a long story short, Ronny fixed his machine and said it would be 60 pounds but because he knew I love Coldplay he told the guy he wouldnt charge him if he got me something signed by them. So what comes in the post yesterday? TWO signed pictures of Coldplay!!!!!! I was thrilled!!! I LOVE my husband! He is the best. So I am framing them and putting them in our hallway. =)
Other cool pluses....

*Only 10 more days until we move!
*Bought Kathy's ticket and she will be arriving in London on the 25th for 2 weeks!!!

Busy, busy, busy!
So many things going on in the next few months. Right now I am working on getting my niece, Kathy, over here for Christmas. I will be buying her ticket today and Im really excited about her coming to visit. She is 15 and has never been outside of America. She will be here for two weeks and one of the weekends she is here, all three of us are flying out to Sweden to see Ronny's family. As you can imagine she is really excited about it. So thats in the works.
I am also starting piano lessons on Friday. I know, I know. Im 25 and what would possess me to start now? I have always wanted to learn to play the piano and the other day I saw an ad in a news agent and thought "Why not!?" so I will be doing half an hour each week but my mom is sending me my keyboard so hopefully will be practicing more than that.
My schooling is going well. My exam is in February but not worried about it. A little nervous but not worried. We go to Denmark for 3 days right after my exam. Ronny's family has rented out a huge house in Denmark (would need to be big with 7 siblings and their families!) for a week so we are meeting them out there.
Next weekend (the 3rd) we move out to our new flat. SO excited about that. It has been absolutely freezing lately and we dont have any heat in this place. Just a small heater that doesnt do a thing so Im really looking forward to getting out of here. Plus there is just NO room here and its enough to drive me mad.
I went on my first IKEA shopping visit this weekend. I know thats weird, Ive never been to an IKEA. But it was nice. My poor husband was thrilled to see Swedish words and we had meatballs in the restaurant and brought home a ton of Swedish candy and soda. He said he got his "fix". =)
Looking forward to buying things for the flat, especially since the only furniture we have is a bed (no mattress yet) a bedside table and a computer desk (no chair). This studio we are in now is "furnished" if you want to call it that so we need to pick up a few things for the new place.
Anyways, Im home sick today so Im heading back to bed. Love you guys! Thanks for all the lovely comments!

Newness
Well I got a new job. Been here for about two weeks and I can honestly say….I love it! Its great. The people I work with are wonderful. No stress or pressure. It makes such a huge difference. The company itself is amazing. The product is amazing. I am just generally happy with everything. I get every Friday off which is wonderful and I have Flexihours which means I need to be into work no later than 10am and leave no earlier than 4:20pm. As long as we do our 7.5 hours a day we can pretty much come and go as we please. And the work I do is very different. I am the Sales Support Executive for the West region of England. It’s a very fun job. I went to my first sales meeting in Bristol (about 2 hour train ride) on Tuesday and that was very fun! Anyways, so my job is definitely working out.

Another new thing is that we are moving out at the end of this month so I will be spending a lot of time looking for new flats tomorrow. Hopefully a two bedroom.

I have almost 2 weeks off at the end of December and trying to figure out what to do with the time! We really want to go away but trying to get out during Christmas is a nightmare. So expensive! So we’ll see. We are going to visit Ronny’s family in Denmark (his sister rented a beautiful huge house for the family for a week) in February and then my parents are here in March so need to make sure I use my vacation time wisely.
Anyways, that is about it. See you guys later!
