Hello from the land of dreams!

I’m doing really well, thank you for asking! Since I got to the US I have been really busy experiencing the american dream, hence the poor updating on this site.
Most of the time I have been skiing, which is going good! I have been using waaaaay to much money on shopping since everything over here is almost free comparison to the Norwegian prices. I’m on the verge of personal bankruptcy. (If my mom and dad are reading this; I barely have used a cent; but…uhm… daddy send more money!) I have been eating a lot of good food, which basically translates to Mexican food….For breakfast, lunch and dinner. (Sometimes I have tacos for desserts as well) And I’ve been to Wallmart!!!! The holy store! I was soo stoked on seeing a Walmart for the first time that not only did I squeak out of pure joy and jumping up and down when I saw it, I also had to take a photo in front of it. There was a lot of puzzled looks from the normal american.

But the reason I now took the time to update is; 1. We have a day off… much easier to take the time to do this and 2. We have our second race of the season tomorrow!!! We are skiing some FIS races; SC, SG and GS. Which is gonna be awesome. Copper has one of the best hills I’ve ever skied and I’m having a blast skiing down here. Since I’m (about)7 hours away from Europe, you guys have a chance to stay updated on how we (Me and Lotte) are doing. You can log on to http://data.fis-ski.com/alpine-skiing/calendar.html
and click on Copper Mountain to check on us. Since this is just a FIS race, you can not see our happy faces on TV, but that comes soon enough when we go to Beaver Creek!

Anywho… I gotta go eat some tacos…
Peace out!

Long time no speak, maybe you guys thought I got a life… sipping champagne, eating caviar while hot supermodels was feeding me grapes….
Yup, that’s what I’ve been doing. That and being curled up at home licking my not-so-hurtful-wounds from Sölden.
Either way being at home for a couple of days was amazing, but that bubble burst quickly when I also had to go back to Oslo to do some physical test… Testing is not my favorite thing to do in this world. It’s on the same level as crawling through a sewage pipeline without diving goggles or a nose clip, but somebody’s gotta do it… Then again, the feeling after the test are done can be compared to Christmas and your birthday stuffed with fairy dust and a magic unicorn at the same time. So you take the test.
I did ok, increased my max leg strength which was good. I can now honestly say that I can squat Santa Claus!!! 😀 Which can come in handy as my evil plan if I don’t get what I want for Christmas…But now I’ve totally trailed of what I was going to talk about!

As the headline applies, this is my first time in the land of dreams. I’ve only been once in Canada (JWC in Quebec last year), so my knowledge of this side of the pawn and promised land is pretty low. Except all I’ve seen on TV….which is A LOT!!! So I have tons of expectations…

US is for me, the place I’ve always wanted to go, but never had the chance! Before now!!! So you can understand I basically bounced up and down in pure joy, the kind that kids at age 5 does, as we touched down in Denver. I don’t think anyone has been so stocked to see a JCPenny store, a Walmart or a Target store before.

For sure I’m gonna take a lot of photos, but since I was practically a zombie in pre-menstrual state yesterday after the flight, so taking photos was not my first priority…

Gonna keep you posted if its as good as everybody says.
