PDX (posted later)

(From Saturday morning @ Portland airport)
Hi,
I'm now sitting at my gate at Portland's airport (PDX) and waiting for my flight. In 30 minutes, boarding will begin, so I'm taking the opportunity to charge my iPod and computer. Life savors on the flight home! 5 hours to Newark and another 7,5 to Stockholm. Thank goodness for free airport WiFi! Finally a airport that understands its travelers need to check facebook and emails! (haha)

It sure has been one intense Friday. And Saturday. Up early on Friday morning to go get stuff for the homecoming party decoration, and piñata, held for the McPhee's brother Michael that on Tuesday came home from Costa Rica. (So the official home coming party was held on Friday). All day we've been cooking food, getting stuff that was missing, running earrends, set up tables and food, dishing and me and Paul made the piñata for the kids. Pretty funny actually, because it looked like a missionary, with the tag and everything, the kids thought it was hilarious! The party started at 6pm and most time was spent on entertaining guests, and kids in my case, while the McPhee's mingled. I met a few guests that I encountered earlier on my stay in Oregon, from the weddings the very first day and then some of Paul's and Brittany's friends.

The rest of the evening we helped clean up, and the left for the airport at 11.30 pm. I didn't sleep at all, and it wasn't really that bad either, bacause I had to stay awake to make sure Paul wouldn't fall asleep. Which was fine too, bacause he surprised me with bringing his yearbook that I asked for earlier, but he wouldn't show me (or coudln't find for that matter). So he told me loads of funny stories and facts about the seniors he graduated with. So fun!

So here I am, really sad to leave. I know I'll miss Brittany alot! She's my sister from another mister. :) And I'll miss Paul. Of course I'll miss him.

School starts on Monday morning, and I feel ready to start studying again after a few months of not really doing anything but work. I'm prepped with sharpies and pens bought at Fred Meyer and a craft store (since your stuff is so much sheaper that Sweden, and kinda nicer too..). Gotta love the states! Especielly Sharpies, my favorite pens. Aside from all of the school materials, i have a ton of candy for the fam in my carry-on.

Yep, 5 hours to Newark, and 8,5 home to Stockholm. Sunday mrning, at 7.35am, I'll be home in breezy Sweden again.

I'll see ya!
Peace
