I have realised a lot of my blog posts are just me complaining about things. Being poor, being fat, being tired, being "darkness-depressed" and so on... Not this one though!

This week has been a good one and I have felt really lucky! Here are my  top-three reasons why. 

1. In the beginning of this week I got an e-mail from my teamleader in Norway (I'm working for a team in Oslo, Norway but I'm located in Stockholm, Sweden). She asked me if i wanted to join a meeting in Oslo later this month. OF COURSE I DO! :) I have never been to Oslo and I have never met my colleagues in Oslo, even though I have been working with them since April 2016. 

I immediately said yes, but then I realised I hadn't checked my calendar first. I did, and found that going on feb 28th would be perfect since it was a "hockey-free" day. Also it wouldn't affect the Rival Sons-concert I'm going to on march 2nd. Looking at the calendar got me thinking, what if Rival Sons are playing in  Oslo on feb 28?! I looked it up right away, and it turns out - THE ARE!!!!!!! So, I would get my flights and hotel payed to go over so the only thing I would have to get is the ticket. Unfortunately, the tickets are sold out. I will hopefully still be able to buy one on the "black market". *Fingers crossed*

2. Wednesday was gameday for Patrik, my brother. He scored twice, got two assists and he played so well!! He is so awesome and it makes me so happy to see him play. Anyone who knows me, knows I am his biggest fan and the proudest sister in the fucking world.

3. Some of you might know I have a "brother-who-is-not-really-my-brother", Marcus. He used to play in the same team as Patrik in the early days, and they were always really good friends. Since he practially lived with us on-and-off, especially during the summers, he became like a family member and I will always think of him as my brother. 

In September he moved with his family to California, to play hockey. He has been playing for San José, Barracuda in AHL, adjusting to the North American hockey and earlier this week San José recalled him. 

On Tuesday he got to make his NHL-debut against the Buffalo Sabres. He even got an assist on one of the goals!!! (Unfortunately they lost the game in OT).The game started 01:00 Wednesday (Sweden time) and I watched it with mum and dad :) 

When I found out he was playing I cried happy tears and I felt so proud of him! I know how hard he worked to get here and he really deserves this! 

Such an amazing week! Today is friday, my favourite day of the work week. We call it JennyDay at the office! 

So to everyone reading this - Happy JennyDay!! <3
