Checking things of the Sweden "To-Do" list

Although I don't have an apartment, funding, or an official schedule...I'll be in Sweden on August 27! I decided that I just have be confident that everything will work out. I'm learning a lesson in patience and faith...that's for sure! I've been tracking the flights for a couple of weeks and found a great deal, so I had to jump on it. At least the to-do list is getting shorter, and not longer....right?

I haven't been able to sleep because all of these ideas keep swirling in my head. My new endeavor is to try and organize a send-off/fundraising recital to do here in Cincinnati before I go. It's moments like these where it would be nice to play the flute...because I have to worry about logistics - where to have it? can I get the proper instruments? will friends come down to play with me? yadda, yadda, yadda. In my head it seems like a great idea, but I still need to figure out the details.

I also need to approach more foundations and investors to try and get some financial assistance. I still have a few live applications out there, so keep your fingers crossed that something will go through! And if you have any ideas, please let me know!

Lastly, I also just purchased some software to learn Swedish. We all know that I can barely speak English sometimes, so this should be fun... :)

Hello! Hej!

Hello! thanks for checking out my website, and now my blog! I want to shout a bit "thanks" to my friend Brent Arnold who helped me create this wonderful site! I'm still updating it, and figuring out the software, so please be patient :)

I will be using this blog to keep everyone updated with my travels, as I will be moving to Piteå, Sweden at the end of August. This summer I will be in Ohio with the fam, practicing and doing some babysitting (time to pay off those loans!). I'm looking forward to spending time with my wonderful parents and family, and catching up with some old friends.

That's all for now, hope you'll stop back soon!!
