Things have been going well for me and Jan Best of it all was my two week trip back home. My parents' house didn't change at all, and Riyadh has actually become even more majestic. I got to know my sister's son too. He was only three months old when I moved and now he's grown into an active and happy three year old.

As for school, I passed the national swedish b exam and am finally eligible to continue the studies that I had to put off! Just hope I get lucky enough to get accepted as I've heard that zillions of people are applying now due to the financial crisis.

Jan has been working on the house non stop and things are looking good The bottom floor will be ready for my parents in time for the summer. They're be spending 6 weeks with us Hurra!
