The Beginning Of An Unforgettable Summer In [Sweden].

Ever since I went to Sweden last summer I have counted down the days until the summer of 2010 (when I would go back there).This summer I will be staying in Sweden for 7 weeks and I cannot wait. I flew by myself this time which was quite an experience.I was very nervous and had many people praying for me just that I would be comforted while on the plane.I left from FL and headed to Chicago (which is way too big of an airport), and then from Chicago to Stockholm. I had a 4 hour delay in Chicago which was no fun but luckily while sitting and waiting until it was time to board the plane I met a 19 year old girl (Lovisa) who was an exchange student in Michigan for a year. She lives in Stockholm and I was so eager to hear her stories! We ended up talking until it was time to get on the plane. She said that I could visit her in Stockholm sometime which would be awesome! God is so good, I was no longer worried when we boarded the plane. Once I arrived in Stockholm watched as Lovisa met up with her family after a year and then I said my goodbyes. After that I went to where I was to get on the train. I had to wait two hours until my train left so I got some food from Wayne's Coffee and just rested. I never slept on the plane so I was very tired. I just could not wait until I saw some familiar faces in Hudiksvall.Well it was finally 10:48 AM and the train arrived. I hopped on and about 2 hours into the ride I was told everyone was getting off the train and we were taking a bus to Hudiksvall. I was never told this but we got on some charter buses and has about a 45 minute ride to Hudiksvall. Once there I turned around and my friends were there waiting for me. FINALLY I was here. They all ran and hugged me and then Louise and Alex picked me up and we drove to Gnarp (where I will be staying for the next 7 weeks). When we arrived Lollo and I went out and took many pictures. Then I went over to the home I will be staying at for a week and a half. I was so tired after not sleeping for more than 30 hours and I fell asleep at 9:45 and got some great rest.

Bridgman Family

Josh and Rebecca, and little Mason Bridgeman were such a joy to photograph. Before I began to take pictures of them Rebecca warned me that her and Josh had such fake smiles.. I laughed and said no worries I love to photograph the moments when you think I am not taking a picture. We had a great time at the park and the Cummer Art Museum. Here are some of the pictures.
