I am happy to report that Denmark and I are back in love.*cue hearts falling from the sky*
As mentioned before, we had a rocky relationship over the winter. I mean, how can you love something that gives you "Seasonal Affective Disorder"?? The past four days, we have done some seriously strong bonding bringing us as close as we were before winter hit. The only thing that Denmark and I can't ever get past was established long ago. We can't seem come to a healthy agreement about the taxes. But that's ok, I respect it's differences, and it respects mine. So that leaves Denmark forever as a fun fling in the first decade of the 2000's and we can't ever commit to a longer relationship.
So, how did Denmark and I mend this broken relationship and find peace again? I'll tell you! Since Saturday we have had the most wonderful and beautiful spring days. The sun is rising at 5:45am-ish and setting at 8:45pm-ish and each passing day is noticeably longer than the last. We have finally been able to sleep with our bedroom door open allowing us to wake in the morning with the birds singing, the church bells ringing telling me what time it is and a cool breeze brushing against our faces. The trees and bushes are developing blooms and leaves at a rapid pace and Lyngby is turning green before our eyes. Michael and I were actually excited when last week our allergies both starting to act up from the blooms. It is the first time in history, neither of us really even care that we have allergies; a small price to pay to welcome spring. We spent the weekend laying on our balcony out in the sun. It was wonderful. There is still a cool breeze lingering so you can't really walk around without warm clothes, but when you stay in one spot you'll heat up nicely!! What prompted me to write this post was that I just got home from the grocery store. While I was walking home with the one item I purchased (dish washer tablets), I stopped at a phone booth, set my purse along with the tablets down and......took off my jacket leaving me in a short sleeve shirt for the remainder of the walk home.
*happy tears*

Hi! My Mom says hi, too, and she told me to tell you that she reads your blog all the time.
Cute post. :)
Hi Nichole -
I hope you keep enjoying the spring weather and loving Denmark. I could picture you looking up to the pretty sunny sky and cuing those hearts from the sky... and seems reasonable for hearts to fall from the sky in Denmark :-)

LMAO I love your first paragraph.
Foreigners often think Danes talk too much about the weather. But it really is an important topic!!! :)
SAD is very common here and I'm sorry you had it and am glad it's over.
