Feast.
David, Caitlin's friend.
People and a girl playing the piano, bad picture.
The church, they were building something in there or painting or something, not really sure.
Satisfied Gabe.
Smil.
They tried to sing the special name day song but they kind of failed, I was happy though, it's the thought that counts right?
Green frog, Mmmm.
Our table by the window, we could see the Örebro castle, which isn't an uncommon sight but it's still cool.
Fika in it's best form.
Caitlin stepped on the mini halfpipe of a shope an it broke, really funny!
I didn't even realize what today was until Pauline texted me with the congratulations. This day was one of the biggest here in Sweden though, it was my name day. 24th of March is a big day that I will mark on my calender for the next few years! If you click on the title of this post you can go to the nameday website and see if you have a name day. I don't really know what the whole nameday thing is all about but I have one so that makes me happy, Caitlin doesn't have one. I asked Pauline what you should do on your name day and this is what she said "Buy something nice... then eat it". So that's the advice I was going on. Caitlin and I somehow got together during the day after school and went around looking at clothes and such, it was nice. Not to long after we met up Marcus joined us too. Marcus is about the same age as Caitlin so they hang out a lot and I fit right in there with them. We all were just walking around looking in stores and I was really pumped up about the fact that it was my first ever name day. Marcus is a pretty fun guy to hang out with and what's even better is that we can ask him how to say words and in this case he was a guide as to how to celebrate my name day! He said that he didn't do to much for it now that he was older but I insisted that it was my FIRST name day ever so we had to do something. We took a nice fika at a local place and I got a green frog pastry, Marcus said that's what he got when he was little plus it was fun to eat! After that we went to the St. Nicholi church because during the fika Marcus asked me if I was a christian and after that he felt like I should go to the church haha so we went there. It was cool to go and look around in there because I never really walked around behind where people talk and stuff so that was pretty cool. Then we were just about to take the bus home when Caitlin informed us that she had made plans to go to a little music thing with a friend of hers and she said Marcus and I could come too, we decided it would be a good idea. It was nice, it was only about 45 minutes but there were some good songs and they showcased some good skills, I was impressed and jealous of the musical talent there. After that we took the bus back to Adolfsberg and then we all went to the Skinnars house to eat with them! They are really nice and kind people and it was like a big dinner party because Anders sister was there with them for the weekend. It was a lot of fun to meet them and I they even made a toast to me because it was my name day! It was a good name day I think and I can't wait celebrate it again in the Unites States of America :D
