Hello Seattle

semi-overcast 10 °C

I got a job! I will be working for Kenworth Trucks in Seattle. I was there for an interview February 14th-18th and spent time with some friends.

Here is Aaron and his dog Furies. I stayed with Aaron and his wife Cris in Everett and had a great time. Thanks!

We went for a walk just north of Seattle along Puget Sound. Here are some random pictures from the walk.

I am moving up to Seattle March 5th to find a place to live and will start work the 17th. Updates will come soon. Start checking airline tickets because you are coming to visit!

Home short Home

Surprise!

overcast 12 °C

I've become really bad at updating this. Sorry.

About a month ago I went home. Home home as I call it. My sister was graduating from USC and the whole family was gonna be there...except me. Thats when my uncle stepped in and decided to surprise my family by flying me home secretly. I bout the $700 tickets Wednesday and was home the next Monday. The surprise worked well: Mom said bad words, grandma jumped so high she left the ground and Laura was speachless.

I was only in San Mateo for 3 days and in LA for 3 days. I had a chance to see a few friends at home and in LA. Sorry if I missed you. I also made sure to get some mexican food, pizza, and In and Out burger. All things I have been craving for a long time.

The graduation and everything went well. It was great to see the family. It was all too short but thats how it always is. Thanks Uncle Ross!

Here are some fields near Amsterdam on my way home.

Check the leg room on a "real" airline (not ryanair)

Within the first couple hours home I went for a tour of the lagoon with my uncle's friends.

There is no such thing as mexican food in Sweden. I miss real (American) Mexican food!

On the way to LA I bought a medium drink. This is larger than an extra large drink in europe!
