I went to visit Sammi at the start of the week for one last tirp to Arboga. I spent Christmas with Sammi so we are pretty close and we always have fun when I come out to Arboga.

Now I am just really getting into all the jounal entries! Amy, Diana, Jena and I made a trip to Barkaby (which is in Stockholm) to go outlet shopping and we were quite successful in getting some good Swedish brand name clothing souveniers...hehe that is what I like to call them!

But also at Barkaby is IKEA! So of course we went to IKEA for lunch ( Read more... )
