The last few days have been super sunny and warm here in Minnesota. I am a typical Norwegian: when the sun shines, I have to get out and take advantage of every minut of it. This can be kind of annoying for people who don't share the same mentality. I remember my friends back in LA used to make fun of me all the time, they get too spoiled over there with sun all year around. I guess Scandinavians just appreciate the sun differently.

Long walks and exploring the city is much better when the weather is good. Tomorrow our guests arrive from Norway. I have been stressing quite a lot this week to get everything settled before they arrive, I want them to get in a vacation mood and enjoy the stay as much as possible. We still received some furniture today and carried it into the house.

We are super excited to get our very first guests from our home town in our new home. Tomorrow we will probably take them around the neighborhood and go for brunch somewhere cozy. I wish this weather would stay, but it will probably get cooler again soon. Except from having guests, we don't have that many weekend plans. Sunday is home game for the Wild, and even tho Mats is not playing I'm still gonna go with our Norwegian friends.

I wish you all a lovely weekend. Go out and enjoy all the pretty colors on the trees if you get the chance. Fall colors make me so happy! Next

X, Eline S.
