Did you guys know that Ryan was here over New Years? Again. The first time he came for New Year’s he ended up belly dancing in a restaurant.
There’s picture proof, so you know it happened.
While that will be hard to beat, I’m glad he took my invitation seriously, and showed up this year as well.
It was great having him. On #nye we enjoyed a home cooked meal at Evelina’s parents house, and then walked/ran down to the city in order not to miss the fireworks. We did not.

I took some time off work, so we took it easy and ate a lot of fika. It was excellent.

Besides all the fika-ing we also spent a lot of time at the rink. Ryan got to try out his goalie skills in one of our practices, and I was thoroughly impressed. He also helped out the coaches as well as got some lifting time in the gym. We even ran together, seeing as I went a little crazy and signed up for a marathon. Ryan, consider this your official invitation to run the marathon with me.

Movies were also watched, with HFR, hence the wicked cool shades.

Having Ryan to visit is always a blast, and I hope we keep the New Year’s tradition going strong. In reminiscing about Ryan’s most recent visit, a summertime visit comes to mind. Both Ryan and Tyler came to Sweden the summer of 2012.
They had both just gone on a tour of Great Britain and Wales, and had had a great time.
(Clearly not more fun than Sweden though)
Lucky for me they decided to stop by Sweden before making the trip back across the Atlantic. We spend the time riding bikes around Eskilstuna, and having fika. I hope you sense the theme. A day trip to the Natural History Museum was also in order.
Where we posed creepily with the animals. Obviously.
There were serious moments as well:
Ryan, Tyler, consider THIS your open invitation to visit Sweden the summer of 2014!
