Happy National Day Sweden!

I got to celebrate this past Saturday with an annual Swedish Party with great friends. Meatballs, sill, Jansson's temptation, Lingonberry schnapps...it's always so much fun - bonding with my fellow Swedes and getting to share with my fellow Americans. I don't think I've ever been as Swedish before, as when I moved here. Living so far away from everything I grew up with, makes it even more important to me to keep the traditions and not forget what the "yellow and blue" life used to be like. But I'm also doing everything I can to embrace the American living at the same time.
