April

It was in April that the sun decided to come out and drive away the dark and dreary days of the all too long winter season. We had been looking forward to this without daring to hope that it would happen so soon. As the sun made the days warmer, we went outside with the rest of the people breaking free of our hibernation. April was filled with wonderful bicycle rides with Hannah, lovely dinners with Kyle, one Air concert, one anniversary, one unexpected and indescribable funeral, one field trip to the Field Museum, many troubled conversations planning our summer vacation, and one final decision. The further April progressed, the more restless I became, and as I am writing I have so much hope for the summer that I can barely stand having to go through May to get to June. Even the kids in my first grade seem to be ready to move on and have a break. However as my mother wrote in a letter to Kyle and I: "Time moves so fast, but we must remember to enjoy the present." So I will try to enjoy the present, and keep my restlessness at arms length by trying not to always live in the dream of the future. If the weather keeps up, I see no reason to not enjoy May.

Here is a few pics from our April.

Kyle saw this poster at while working at Joe's and sent the picture to me. It made me laugh.

Field Museum

This goat was being a little inappropriate.

Vi så dette billede på Field Museet og syntes, det var en sjov udtalelse. Udstillingen viste billeder og selvbeskrivelser af forskellige amerikanere, der har mere end en national oprindelse.

We saw this picture at the Field Museum and found it pretty funny. The exhibition was about people who have more than just one origin ( which I guess is most people in America).

Our future home?

Min bryllupsdagsgave til Kyle. En hjemmelavet t-shirt af Larry David fra tv-serien Curb Your Enthusiasm (Den originale amerikanske version af, hvad der i Danmark blev til Klovn.) Teksten under billedet siger: "Pretty...pretty...pretty good!"

Det bedste var at Kyle elskede gaven.

My anniversary present to Kyle. A homemade t-shirt with a print of Larry David from the tv-show Curb Your Enthusiasm. The caption under the picture reads:

"Pretty...pretty...pretty good!"

The Best was that Kyle loved the present.

A pretty amazing month all in all. We wish everyone a happy springtime.

Vi sender især mange tanker til jer, vi elsker og savner derhjemme. Vi ses snart. Indtil da håber jeg, at i må få et dejligt forår.

Masser af Kærlighed,

Linn
