A new year and a new 2012 Dallmasvenskan season! So many excited things to look forward to! I am now in the states awaiting my arrival back into Sweden! Just 10 more days. I am so excited and ready to meet the new team members who have bravely signed with Pitea! Ha. Not only are we going to rock on the field but I'm sure the new girls will be such a great addition to our pitea family! I have missed everyone's friendly faces and goofy ways!

A few of my resolutions for soccer this year are
1: Staying healthy and taking care of my body better
2: Focusing more in the penalty area (no post this year)

Resolutions for pitea
1: Buying a " spark"  for my winter ride
2: Learning Swedish/speaking more Swedish
3: Figuring out job options in Sweden for when soccer is complete. (Know any ideas let me know)

I have lots to focus on this year but setting goals always helps me strive!

My 2012 has already set off in the right direction! I spent one week in Portland Oregon visiting my best friend. I went hiking in the mountains and did things that I have not yet experienced. Check out the video....

I had two days in Quincy Illinois to pack up my life and start my journey back to Sweden. I am now in Providence Rhode Island visiting my brother before I head over to Pitea. It was not an easy trip. I arrived at the airport and immediately saw my flight's delayed. That being said I knew I probably was going to miss my connecting flight to RI. But when things like this un expectantly  happen, I tell myself to stay calm and go and find the nicest person you can to help! At the desk I found a friendly older women and a man who looked like a pilot. I brought up something funny to talk about and got them in a good mood and laughing. After that I told them my situation and the lady was more than happy to give me a pre boarding pass so I could be the first person on the flight and first person off the flight. And that would save me time to sprint to my connecting flight. While I was standing there the pilot started up conversation and we became friends immediately. He then used his connections and told the airlines to hold the plane  long enough for me and my luggage to make it.  Also I was the ONLY person on my flight who was going to RI so usually they wont hold it for one person. I got off the plane and SPRINTED my heart out to the next gate. Thank God I have trained hard for the season that I had the stamina to sprint for that long.

But im happily in RI and loving every moment with my brother! Here is some pictures of my short visit. Cliffs and the sea to one side and mansions on the other! It's a truly amazing place!

 

I am truly blessed and love my life!! Arrive in Sweden on Sunday!! YAY....cant wait to see my Pitea locals!

I hope everyone had a great start to the new year! Please comment and tell me how you started off 2012!
