Back to business

We have now been back from the US for 3 weeks and I can't believe it! Time is really going by fast. 

We had about 4 days when we got back before we really got back into the swing of things.  We used to time to relax, prepare a little bit and to see friends.  We went to a 25th Wedding Anniversary party with one of our colleagues and that was a lot of fun, folk dancing and eating a lot of food.

Then school started up! We had 3 days of meetings before the students arrived. By thursday there were 121 students filling the school and it was awesome.  Thursday-Saturday were quite fun and tiring as we were working around the clock.  I have a really sweet family group this year with 6 quite different but very nice girls.  Saturday we had auditions for the choirs and bands and had even a larger turnout than last year.  We are totally pumped with the interest for music this year!! 

Last week was the first official week of school and things went very well! I have been very happy with all my classes so far. (especially English!!) It's going to be a good year.

Søren and I also got back out on the golf course again this past week.  We both played okay but definitely felt a bit rusty after all the golfing in the States!

The most recent news is that I just celebrated my 27th birthday! Søren suprised me with a special weekend birthday trip to Gothenburg, Sweden!  We woke up on the 20th, opened presents, had a nice breakfast and hit the road! We drove a few hours to the ferry where we rode for another 3 hours before arriving in Sweden.  We found our hotel and headed off to find some dinner.  We ended up going to the Hard Rock Café and had some great food.  We walked around the city for awhile, but it was raining so we went home and just hung out.  The next morning we woke up, had an incredible continental breakfast and hit the town.  We saw the harbor, a huge Viking ship, lots of beautiful shops and buildings, the "famous" Ullevi Stadium (where the Danish Soccer team won the European championship), and took a boat ride through the canals of Gothenburg.  It was a great 24 hours in the city and then it was time to head back to Denmark again!  It was such a fun birthday present and we both had a wonderful weekend!!
