happy 2008!

i have a ton of pics... but since the computer has died and i am working on a backup computer, it will have to wait.
in the meantime, i want to share one single photo.

1 year ago today i marred my super man
the man who makes my laugh
holds me when i cry
kisses me constantly
holds my hands
supports me emotionally
supports me physically
he is my partner. and my best friend.

1 year ago today we stood on the beach and exchanged vows.
we were surrounded and supported by friends and family... but we only saw eachother.
it was a perfect day... followed by a great year.

it feels like yesterday, yet a million of years ago.
and thinking about patrik being my husband- thinking of being his wife- still makes my heart skip a beat.

last night i had one of the most amazing experiences of my life.
cirque du soleil- delerium
i have been wanting to see cirque for years. about 10 years in fact.
for some reason, the timing was always off financially
cirque, be it gorgeous, is not cheap.

most recently, i had the chance in vegas, but decided against it as i thought P and i would be driving cross country for our honeymoon
so i passed... thinking we could see it together in vegas.
then the honeymoon moved to the carribean...

about 8 months ago i read that cirque was coming to stockholm!
tickets were going to be released in 1 month from the article
i set a reminder on my mobile
on release day i booked 2 of the most expensive tickets
i took best available, but i had no idea how good they actually were

last night, as we made our way into globe arena, we were pointed towards the front
and then further towards the front
until we were seated
2nd row. center.

we were so close.
i could see the beads of sweat on the performers.
i could hear their voices without the use of mics.
i could see the muscles in their well cut bodies.
i could see them shaking as they manipulated themselves into the most amazing positions and held them for ages.
i could make eye contact with them.

it. was. amazing.
the show was over almost as soon as i blinked...
delerium is a show based on music- not on acrobatics.
i can only imagine how the other shows are...
i won't wait 10 years again.
