Handball

First half of the game between Sweden and Denmark, in women competition is over! Sweden is leading the game with a couple of goals! ARH! that is all I can say! Well obviously that is not good for Denmark, but I am kind of bitter about, because I made a bet with my brother that the women team is gonna do better than the men! (I don't really believe they will! :P) So let's hope for all reasons that they will win! The break between the two halves, I am using watching the mens qualification in artistic gymnastics (Again I love that sport), but I has to admit I like the women's better!
Good luck olympian!

Olympics!

OL, Olympics, or whatever you want to call them!! No matter what, I love them, that's for sure! It's the 5th time in my life that the Olympics is here, Atlanta in 1996, Sydney 2000, Athens 2004, Beijing 2008, and now London 2012! Yes man, I am excited! In my Family, handball has always been the big sport! I grew up dreaming about the Olympics, the first 3 Olympics in my life time (1996, 2000 and 2004) the danish national team in handball (women) was the olympic gold medalists! That was what we all wanted to be, an olympian! These women was and meant everything for us little handball girls, they was the coolest people!
Well a lot of us had to realize that the Olympics was out of reach, but that didn't stop us from keep fighting! Their are girls, girls I grew up training with and competing with who I wouldn't be surprised to see playing at the Olympics in 4 maybe 8 years, and that is great, you feel proud of them! In Denmark, handball is the biggest sport between girls, and every 4 years 14 girls get to go, (if they even qualify)! And their is 1000, and 1000 of girls who wants to be one of those 14, so the chances are very slim, but there are just some who is that much better than the rest!
Well back to the Olympics! We watch handball, that is kind of our favorite in my family! But we love to watch everything else, you now sailing, swimming, and track! But gymnastics has my heart! I love that sport, there is something superpowered over it! I used to do gymnastics, but not on the same level as the them on tv (NOT AT ALL)! So I guess all be glued to the tv, when gymnastics and handball is on! <3
So good luck everybody at the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics, Good Luck Denmark, and America! Especially good luck to the Danish National Team in Handball (men and women) and good luck to the U.S. Artistic Gymnastic Team <3

France, my 3rd home

Most people have one, maybe two places where they feel at home.. I have three! Denmark, America and France! Frederiksberg (Copenhagen), Mobridge, and Antibes.. Even though my French sucks, and that I have no connection to France (family or friends) I still feel at home here.. Since I was a couple of years old my Grandparents (Father's parents) have had a house here, in Antibes. And I have been here countless times. Summer vacation, fall and spring breaks and even a single Christmas.. I now this place better than my own backyard, and it is my free place.. It is where there is space to dream, the weather is always nice and you can see the sea from the rooftop terrace.. As long as I remember, I always had fun here.. Going to the beach everyday, the playground and running around our selfs in a way that you couldn't do in the big city at home, you know no limits, being free to do what ever..
This is my place, no question!
XoXo Siri, see you back in Denmark!!
