We are in India now

We are in India now but the last few days in Israel were difficult. We first had to move out of our Appt, and moving every last thing was stressful. We were both ill with colds and we're constantly tired.

Our first night was in the Sheraton where we had a great night on an amazing bed. We also had entrance to the executive lounge, and we used it alot. We wish we could have stayed there longer, but there were no rooms available.

Our second night was in the Gordon Inn, a small room with bathroom and TV. We had a bottle of wine and went to sleep. I was awoken by "EXCUSE ME!!!" Bella said a woman had opened our door and come in. She was a little scared. But after her description, I thought it was probably the reception woman. We didnt sleep very well after that.

Our next night was in a friends and was very difficult to get used too....... But we are now in India and having an amazing time. Both eating very well and Bella will tell what happened in Chennai.

Michael

Shalom!

Time goes quickly. I have already been here in Tel Aviv for two weeks and today we are going to India. Our flight is 5.30 and it feels so weird. I am really looking forward to India but I could have stayed here for a little longer, I really like Tel Aviv. Me and Michael have had a great time since I got here! We have been to the beach, different hotel pools and The Dead Sea. Its so hot and humid here so you have to be near water.

The Dead Sea was amazing - as usual. We stayed in Meridien and got upgraded to a suite and put on full board. Michaels friend Phil and his girlfriend Amanda was there as well, and another friend Yehuda. We had so much fun. Me and Michael played table tennis and tennis every day and the pool was amazing.

When we got back to Tel Aviv we had to move out of Michaels apartment. It was hard work! We have now been homeless for three days and its a bit frustrating. We have stayed in different hotels and last night at Michaels friend Matans. Tomorrow night we are staying in a nice hotel in Chennai. Im looking forward to sleep in a comfortable bed again! And Im so glad that me and Michael are going to be together every day from now on!

Next time we write it is from India!

Bella

I am not complete without her

I miss my baby so much, she means the world to me. It is only 6 days to go before she comes out, and I get to feel one again. I am so proud of her work in Kalmar and the article for a crime magazine. She excells in everything she does, and will not be satisfied if it is not perfect. She shines through any darkness and makes you feel great with her presence.

I am so lucky that she is going to be my wife, she is my best friend, my soul mate, my lover, and my partner, and in 6 days I get to hug and kiss her. Yippee!!!

Michael

Travel through Sweden in darkness

I'm on the train now. No one can be happier than me at the moment. I'm travelling first class and the Internet is free then, which is great. I didn't sleep well last night, I'm absolutely exhausted. But I did promise Michael to not fall asleep, and miss my stop.

The last day at work was a bit strange. It feels good the leave. But I'm sure I am gonna miss it a bit in a few days. It's great going to Stockholm though. I have been so lonely since Michael left. Life is quite boring without friends, family, tv and Internet. Tomorrow I'm going to the summer house with my sister Jo. My mum and dad are there and my cousins are coming as well. It's gonna be great seeing them all again. I have missed Jo so much in Kalmar.

I wish Michael was coming with. I'm counting the days till I'll be in his arms again. 11 today...

Bella

2 weeks left

My gorgeous Baby will be in Israel in 2 weeks. We are gonna have so much fun. I am also really glad that Bella only has till Friday in Kalmar. She is so bored there and the weather is shit. She will have alot more fun in Stockholm with her friends and family.

I went to the beach for most of the day today with some friends, it was so much fun, the water is amazing, I think I will try and go everyday for at least 2 hours a day. And when Bella comes it will be even more fun.

Michael

Feed me

I brought curry for dinner, but had seafood pie instead. It was so good! I spoke to my dad earlier today and I'm so looking forward to this weekend. I'm going to the summer house on Saturday and we are gonna eat crayfish then. And grill! I can't wait. I'm just cooking the same food here, specially since Michael left, and it's so boring. I want meat! (I never buy it myself because it's quite expensive.) Oh, I am so happy that I'm going home Friday!

Bella

I am done here

It's so hard to be here in Kalmar now when Michael has left. It's so empty and boring. I have no one to watch DVDs together with, no one to eat lunch with, no one to hug. I hate it. I want to leave this city now, I am done here. I would love to go back to Stockholm tonight, but I can't. I have one more week of work. But next friday it is "good bye Kalmar" (thank god). And later it is "hello Israel and my beautiful baby" (yippie)! Now I will have to continue working, not the funniest thing to do a friday night...

Bella

19 days to go

I had such a great time with Bella. We became one in Kalmar. She is my world, and now it is really difficult to be in Israel without her. My bed seems so empty. We are so right for each other. She is so special, unique beautiful and understanding. I am so looking forward to 19 days, where we will have the most amazing time in Israel and then India.

She is my everything! And I love her more than anything.

Michael

Come back to windy Kalmar please!

The Yellow Sari on tour

We have been in Kalmar and Copenhagen.

Kalmar vs. London

Michael is on his way to England now. It's less than 7 hours since I last saw him, but I already miss him like crazy. We are having a great time together here in Kalmar. But sometimes it's really hard going to work, specially when Michael is asleep. I wish I had more time to spend together with him. But soon I will.

I am so sorry that I can't go with Michael to England today. I want to be there for him and his family now. I so wish Betty better! It's really hard for Michael to see her this fragile. 

Michael is coming back to Sweden Friday night. I'm gonna meet him in Malmö (south Sweden). We are going to spend Saturday in Copenhagen, Denmark. I'm so looking forward to it! We are just gonna be there for a day, but that will be great. I can't wait to see Michael again.

Bella

Being in Kalmar feels so right

It was so hard being in England spending most my time in hospital realising that the reality of death in family hits us all at one time. It was so hard, and I dont think I would have got through it if it was not for Bella. She is my rock! When everyone else just thinks of themselves, Bella is thinking of them. She is so unselfish, and thats one of the reasons I love her so much.

Michael

The sun will come out today

Michael arrives to Sweden in less than one hour! Yippie! JoJo is gonna meet him at the central station in Stockholm. I miss him like crazy and I'm so happy that I'm gonna see him in two days. I am gonna hug him and kiss him so so so much!

Bella

Good energy

I miss my baby like crazy crazy! It's only one week since I left him in Israel, but it feels like a month. He is coming to Sweden on Thursday, but I'm not gonna see him till Saturday or Sunday. He's going to stay in Stockholm for a couple of days and I am gonna be in Kalmar. I'm going there today and I have mixed feelings. I know that I'm gonna like it when I am there, but at the moment I just want to stay in Stockholm. All my friends and family are here and I so want to show Michael the summer house in the summer. But he will have to wait. Maybe we go there the weekend before Michael is leaving for Israel, cause then I'm free from work. However, I am so happy that he is coming to Sweden! So so happy.

Michael is in England now and I know that it's really hard for him to see his grandma this weak. I so wish I was there with him! I'm trying to send him good energy all the time. I hope he gets it ...

The summer is here - have fun!

Bella

My poor baby

I am so angry and upset at the stess the hospital put on my baby Bella. It was inhuman and they totally misdiagnosed her from the start. She went through so much stress for no reason, and I feel so guilty that I was not with her. These past 2 days have been so hard for me, but so much harder for my baby. We both hate hospitals and I know that this experience just enhanced that hate for both of us.

I am so thankful that she is home now, and cant wait to hold her in my arms. I love her so so much.

Michael

Thank you Michael!

I have had the most wonderful and amazing 3 weeks here in Israel together with Michael. I am so thankful and happy! He must be the most beautiful and generous person in the whole world. We have been to The Dead Sea, Jerusalem and Eilat - amazing places. In Jerusalem we went on a tour with Michael's friend Dave who is a guide. That was very intresting! So now I know a little more about history, jews and Jesus.

The Dead Sea was great (as usual). Very relaxing! We stayed in a very nice hotel and were lying by the pool almost all the time, apart from when we were playing table tennis. Eilat was also great! Very, very hot though. We stayed there for 5 days and I enjoyed every minute!

We came back to Tel Aviv last Tuesday and havn't done much since. I am ill and have had such bad stomach cramps. We went to the doctor today and I got antibiotics. I really hope the medication works, cause my flight back to Sweden is 7 a.m. tomorrow morning. And I really don't want to feel as bad as I do now then ... It's just a shame that this awesome trip is gonna end like this.

Ps. The ring I've got from Michael is so so beautiful! 

Bella

Engaged to Beautiful Bella

Only 6 months together, but we know we want to spend the rest of our lives together. Being engaged just feels so right.

We have just come back from an amazing time in Eilat, and Bella is so tanned, she looks Indian.


We are so excited about going back to India and seeing alot of our friends. And i am so excited about being back in Sweden with my baby, and having lots of time to write my book.


Michael

Wo ai ne

Jag alskar dig Michael!

Bella

An amazing day

5 hours, I am so so happy.





Michael

The Sun will come out tomorrow

My baby is only a day away.

I didn't think these 4 weeks would be as hard as they have. But enough complaining, its time to celebrate. We are gonna have the most amazing time, always, forever!

Michael

Tomorrow it's 4 weeks since Michael left me in Sweden

I'm going to Israel tomorrow - for three weeks! It's just amazing. I miss Michael so so much, it's gonna be great seeing him again. I'm sure we are gonna have an amazing time together. As usual. Today it's my last day at uni. And tonight I'm going out for dinner with mum, Jo and grandma. The weather here is so nice. But I'm sure the weather in Israel is even nicer. I'm so happy that me and Michael are gonna spend almost all summer together. We are just so lucky. 

Bella

I promised Chinese

I promised Bella that I would tell her "I love you" in Chinese. So here goes.

Ngo Oi Nai/Lai is in Cantonese

Wo Ai Ne/Nee is in Mandarin

But whatever language I say it in, words can never match the feeling I have for her in my heart.

Michael

I feel so shit

I am having such a bad hangover. My uncles funeral was yesterday and he's friends had a party for him afterwards. The beer was for free - but I'm paying for it today. It was great meeting all my relatives and Robert's (strange) friends though. 

I don't know what to do with myself today. The sun is shining and this apartment is so so hot. I can't go back to sleep. And I can't see myself go out in the sun. I feel so shit. I just want to lie in my baby's bedroom with the air condition on. 

3 days to go. Yippie!

Bella

4 days

I am so excited that Bella will be here in 4 days. The last few days I have been ill with a cold and stuck at home. It is so so boring. I watched a lot of Sex and the city episodes.

I feel alot better today. I think I will go to the beach and see my friends.

This time that me and Bella have been apart has been way too long, it has been so hard. I never want us to be apart this long again. My heart aches too much. I hope these 4 days go really fast.

Michael

... yey yey

I am so happy! 1 week till I see my baby! I'm sure this week is gonna be great and pass quickly. Woho yippie yey yey!

Bella

1 Week, Yippie!

I haven't seen my baby for 3 weeks, and it is so so hard. I just want to hold her in my arms and kiss her soft lips. She has really become my other half and everything seems kind of pointless without her. She is my lover, my partner, my soul mate and my best friend, and to be without all of these, feels like my life is not running properly.

It is such nice weather here. I think I will go to the beach after work and swim in the Sea. In 4 months we are gonna be in India, that is gonna be amazing, and we are gonna see so many of our friends again.

Michael

Meatballs and herring

I went to our summer house this weekend. It was great! I have been so tired since last week. My body is just not with me, I don't know what's wrong. I slept so much all weekend, but I don't have much energy anyway. Yesterday Jo, Dave, Hillevi and Nick came to the summer house for lunch. We had this special Swedish midsummer lunch (even if it's not midsummer yet). Herring, potatoes, Janson's temptation, meatballs ...  And snaps of course. 

Today it's a new week - my last here in Stockholm for a while. It feels strange. I am both happy and sad. Happy because I am gonna see my baby in 8 days and be with him for almost all summer. And sad because it's my last week at uni. I am gonna miss my classmates so much. They all are fantastic! It's just a shame that they are gonna be gone when I'm coming back after my year off!

Bella

I slept so shit

I slept so shit last night. And if Bella was in my bed, I would have slept so much better. Also whoever thinks that green tea does not have caffiene in it, think again. Just 9 days to go, I hope they go really quickly. The weekends are the worst, so much time to be free, but I only want to be free with my baby.

Please go quickly!

Michael

Good morning my gorgeous baby

Every morning, just when I wake up, I grab my phone and call Michael. And I hear: Good morning my gorgeous baby! It's the best start of the day. I'm always so happy to hear his voice. We speak at least three times every day, but the morning call is the best. Cause then I have not hear his voice for hours and hours. 

Happy Bella

10 1/2 days to go

My baby will be here very soon, and I am so excited. And soon after we will be together in Sweden as well. And after that amazing India. But it doesnt matter where we are, as long as we are together.

These past few weeks have been really hard without Bella, and she has been working so hard at Uni, I am so proud of her. She doesnt realise how much.

I am so lucky that I found Bella, she so completes me.

Michael

Children of the sky

I am listening to Bob Sinclaire and thinking about India. I can't wait till we go there! I'm so excited. Let's dance! 

Bella

Uni vs wedding

It's 11 pm and I am still in school. I'm so exhausted. I wish I was in Israel now, with my baby, at Dave and Noa's wedding! I think they are having a great time. But I don't. 

Bella

Spoon please

I just woke up and called Bella. I drunk alot yesterday. Its 3 am here and I am gonna go back to sleep. I wish Bella was in my bed so I could spoon her, I love her so much.

Michael

Half-time

Two weeks to go. Yippie yey! I have so much to do at school at the moment. I was here till late evening yesterday and today I started at 8:30. We are working with a magazine, and this week we do all layout. We are gonna send it to the printer on Thursday, so everything has to be done till then. 

I'm so happy that the time goes by and that I'm going to Michael very soon. It's so hard to be apart. I am just so lucky that I've found him!

Bella

Time goes by

Sometimes it feels like time is moving fast and sometimes really slow. I came back from the Dead Sea last night. I had a great time, but its just not the same without Bella. When you have someone so special and amazing in your life to share with, you want to share every experience with them. And when you cant, it just seems wrong.

16 days to go, I hope they go quickly.

The sun is shining and it is giving me great energy. I have alot to do this week, and I feel it is gonna be a great week.

Michael

Friday night

My baby is in The Dead Sea. I so wish I was there too. I miss Michael so much! Specially now when it's weekend. I'm at home, doing nothing. Just waiting. I so hope the two and a half weeks till I go to Israel will go quickly!

Bella

I will have to make up for all photos ...

... so here is some text.

Today it's one week since Michael left Sweden but it feels like one month. Life is not the same without him. I'm glad I have much to do at uni cause otherwise it would have been so much harder. But in one way I wish I had less to do, so I could go to Israel before the third of June. I'm so sad that I'm gonna miss Dave and Noa's wedding text Thursday. It's a shame that I won't be able to celebrate with them! But I hope Michael is making up for us both. I really can't go to Israel earlier cause my uncle Robert's funeral is gonna be in the end of May, and I really want to be there. It's important for my little cousin Lisa.

I miss Michael like crazy. But I know that we are gonna have the most amazing time when I get there. That's why I can be here and go to school every day with a smile. I really can't wait! I'm so lucky that I've found him. I really hope that everyone will experience this kind of love in life.

Bella

In 3 weeks can we take photos like this ...

... at the beach in Tel Aviv!

3 Weeks to go

I feel really good this morning. Only 3 weeks to go till Bella gets here. I really miss her, but a quarter of the time has gone and I know the rest will go quickly. She is so beautiful to me, she completes me.

The last few days have been hard, but everything now is getting easier. The sun is shining, business is really good and I'm going to the Dead Sea this weekend, where I will see alot of my friends and relax.

Michael

Big smile for my baby

Nirvana

I woke up today with a big hangover. I never once got a hangover in Sweden when I woke up with my baby Bella. There are so many things that are different when you do them alone. 24 days does not seem alot, but when you're counting them hour by hour it seems like eternity. I enjoy going to bed, knowing that when I wake up it will be 1 day less. When I wake without seeing Bella's smile it makes the sun shine a little bit less.

But enough moaning, I should be celebrating that I am in an amazing relationship with the greatest, most beautiful, most loving, most clever, kindest (this list could go on and on) person on the planet. And I really am happy, and everyone sees it, and I wish that everyone can have an amazing relationship like us, I hope everyone finds or has found their other half. And I hope that everyone feels this deep, overwhelming feeling of intense love. Because this is Nirvana!

Michael

We look very happy together

Last Friday was my baby here, but this Friday I'm sitting here eating dinner all alone. I hate this. But what I like is what my friend Julia told me today. She thinks Michael is amazing and said that we look very very happy together. I know Michael is amazing and that we are a great couple, but I love to hear it from friends and family.

Bella

Kom hem nu

I've come back to Israel in such a joyous time, because its Israel's 60th birthday. But because my lover, best friend and soul mate is not here, I dont feel complete.

So I go to many parties, but its not the same cause I have a pining in my heart for my baby Bella.

I cant wait till we live together forever. It just feels so right, but these are words and words could never describe that feeling inside.

And I thank God for blessing me to be the happiest and luckiest guy on this planet.

Kom hem nu.

Michael

26

I'm up early because I'm going to school in about 20 minutes. But the only thing I think about is that it's only 26 days till I'm going to Israel. Yippie yey!

Bella

Don't be afraid, you have just got your eyes closed

I didn't sleep well at all last night. And it was so strange to wake up without Michael in bed this morning. I hate this feeling of loneliness. I want my baby here, he completes me. I don't know how we are gonna make the 4 weeks ...

Bella 

I am at home, but home is not home without my baby Bella. I had such an amazing time with her. I know we will be together forever. I love her so much! Her family made me feel really welcome and it was great meeting her other sister Linn and Stefan. They make an amazing family. Now I have to wait 4 weeks for my baby to come out here.

My bed will feel so empty tonight, I cant put into words my feeling for her. I am such a lucky person that I have found someone like Bella. Its going to be a very hard 4 weeks, but I know that she needs to finish uni well. I will always be here for her.

Michael

Unhappy Michael in the taxi this morning

Unhappy Lisa at the fairground

Please stay here

We are having an amazing time together and I so don't want Michael to leave tomorrow. It's gonna be so so so empty. 

Bella

Puss puss

There can be miracles when you believe ...

It's Friday afternoon and Michael is having a kip. I love having him here in Sweden, it's gonna be so hard when he's leaving. We are getting more close to each other every day and it's just amazing. Yesterday and the day before we were in our summerhouse, in the archipelago of Stockholm. It was really nice. We had dinner with my mum and dad and got quite drunk. Last night we went for dinner to an Italian with my sister Jo. Michael got his lamb and was very happy. 

We are having such a great time here in Stockholm together. I'm so happy. Tonight we are having dinner at our place with some friends and tomorrow we are going for dinner at my sister's. But first, in the day, we are gonna take my cousin Lisa to a fairground. I'm so looking forward to it! 

Bella

I have been with Bella a week and it has been magical. We went to England for 3 days and met my family and friends. They all loved Bella, and I think she loved them too. I met her family before we went and they are great. This was so important for both of us, so we were a little nervous. But now we can relax and enjoy the rest of our lives together.

Its so amazing how close we are with each other. I feel so open and free with Bella. We never have ego fights which are so prevalent in other people's relationships. I have never loved like I love Bella. I love everything about her. She is my dream made real.  And I think we were meant to meet. We are so right for each other, and I know we will be together forever.

Michael

No sleep

My baby arrives here in about 4 hours. It's 05:38 now and I've been up for more than one hour. I have this butterfly feeling inside me, so I haven't been able to sleep much. I'm so glad he's coming! Yippie yey yey yey!

Bella 

Less than 24 Hours

This time tomorrow I will hold Bella in my arms. I am so excited, and a little nervous. I was'nt nervous before, but friends have rubbed off their negative energy on to me. But the most important thing is I get to be with my baby, and being nervous about other things becomes insignificant. I hope Bella's parents like me. At least I know Jo, so not everyone will be new to me.

I went out for a friends birthday last night and drunk quite a lot. I have a hangover now. I got burnt yesterday on the Beach, trying to tan up for Sweden. Now my face is all red, I hope it turns brown by tomorrow. I have had a friend stay with me since Saturday. He's a great guy, but it has left me no privacy, which is really hard to deal with. People dont usually consider how much space someone else needs and usually judges the situation on their own needs. The only person I feel comftable being around all the time is Bella. She is very alike me, likes to have naps and rest, but also likes to get up early and do things.

Yippee, tomorrow I get to be with Bella, I cant wait.

Michael

Hello, hello

I just got home from my friend Katja. I had dinner there with her mother and Jesper (Katja's mother's boyfriend). Katja was out with her boyfriend though. Now I'm really drunk. Tytte and Jesper are so fun. And they so are my family. They love me so much, and I love them. I'm more close to Katja's mum than I am to my own mother, and that's strange. 

I miss Michael so much though. I love him so much. Let it be Tuesday now!

Bella

Kärlek

She is all I've ever wanted

She's all I've ever wanted in my life. She is my fantasy come true. I won the lottery of love and hit the Jackpot. She never gets angry at me, and accepts me with all my faults. The abandunce of beauty that exists in her is magical. I love everything about her. I am truly the luckiest person in the world.

Michael

I'm more than happy

I am gonna have my baby here in 5 days! It's amazing, I'm so happy! No, I'm more than happy - I can't explain in words how I feel. I'm just the luckiest girl in the world. It's gonna be so fun to show Michael my city and all the places where I use to go. 

Now I'm gonna meet my friends Katja and Marthe and drink some wine. And tomorrow I'm gonna continue to counting the days. 

Bella

My pretty baby ...

Michael is the best partner you ever can have

Michael is amazing. He can analyse situations so well and see clear. I'm sure he's gonna protect me, and lots of other people. And I'm sure we are gonna make it through the world catashtrophe. As long as we keep our eyes open.

Bella

The world is in a bad state

I look at the situation in the world, and I see it is in a very bad state. The price for rice and wheat has doubled in the last few months. There are food riots in Haiti, India, Bangladesh, and many parts of Africa. Hones Bees are not polinating crops properly in the US. There are water shortages in many parts of the world. The US is hiding Many more Billions in losses which will eventually come out and cause the biggest world depresion since the 1930's. And it is not our problem today, but it will be our problem tomorrow.

I really feel the worlds pain, and I love my baby so much, I will do anything to protect her from future troubles in the world. I have to be able to see in advance, and to leave a place where trouble is coming in time. My intuition is very very good, but what I see is very scary. Maybe I should'nt look, but I have both of us to think of now. And I promise Bella to always protect her, and that we are gonna make it through this world crisis (read: world catashtrophe).

What is really strange to me is how many people are blind to what is going on. Do I see things other people dont? Or do people just pretend that everything is fine?

Either way, Me and Bella are gonna open our eyes, see the truth and act in time.

1 week and I am with my baby. Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Michael

8 days to go! I'm counting. I really miss Michael so much and it hurts. I so need him. It's a quite hard time for my family right now. My uncle has cancer and is in a really bad state. He's in hospital and is probably gonna die there. He's too weak to go home again. I visited him yesterday and it was just so sad. He looks like a scarecrow and I think it's so unworthy to just lie there and wait for the death. I'm probably gonna see him today as well. The hospital is very close to where I live and I want to be there for him, even if it's hard. I'm so glad that Michael is supporting me. It means lots to me. But as I said, I so want him here. And now it's just 8 days left. Thank God!

Bella 

I miss her like the desert misses the rain

Let the 9 days go quickly

WOW! That was a horrible night. I had food poisining yesterday, and I think I spent more of the night in the bathroom than in my bed. Thats what happens when you go for free breakfast at the Sheraton. I hate being ill, I hate not being in control of my life, and I hate being away from my other half, Bella.

9 days today, YIPPEE! Nothing matters unless I can share it with my Bella. I must say I am a bit nervous to come to Sweden for 2 weeks, its just that this will be the longest period in a row that I have spent in cold Europe in the last 13 years. But I know Bella will keep me warm, and I am really excited to meet her familo, sorry, family.

I am supposed to go to the beach today with my friends, its more than 30 degrees outside. But I am scared, too scared that my stomach will play up, and anyway I will touch up my tan when I come to Sweden, lol.

I am already so scared when Bella has to go to work for 6 weeks in Sweden. Its so hard to be away, but after that we will be together forever, and that calms me down.

Michael

I hunger for your touch

I miss my baby so much! It's Friday and I'm so tired. I'm gonna go to bed very soon. I wish Michael was here so we could cuddle each other. I'm feeling lonely without him. We talk on the telephone at least three times every day. But that's not enough. I want more than his voice. I want him here so I can hold him, kiss his lips and just watch him. He's so beautiful. I need Michael. Every day. Tomorrow it's one week since I left him in Tel Aviv, but it feels like one month. Time goes by so slowly ...

Bella

Israel in April

12 days

12 Days to go till I see my Baby. I am not sleeping well at the moment, but when I hear Bella's voice in the morning, it really makes a great start to my day, it will make an even better start when I can just turn over and give her a kiss in bed.

I do appreciate how lucky we are that we have found each other. She is such an amazing person, I have never met anyone who comes close to her. She knows me so well, and I know her. She is an angel, with the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. I love her so much, too much!

Michael

Together we make a familo

I am drinking tea and thinking of Michael. It's snowing outside and I would love to be in Israel instead of here. But at the same time I'm happy to be here, cause my baby is coming in 13 days! And the only thing I do now is waiting for him. I'm so excited. It's hard to be apart, Michael is my other half and I want to wake up in the same bed as him every morning. I want us to have breakfast together, and lunch and dinner. I want us laugh together, and hugging and kissing each other. Every day. I want to be close to Michael. Closer.

My baby Bella

I have just spoken to my gorgeous, cute, amazing unique baby who has cheered me up and made my day great. I am starting to wake up very early again, so I think I will start my power walks very soon.

The cleaner is coming round soon, so I must clean up for the cleaner and then go to work.

Michael

You are so beautiful to me

Sadness

I left "Home Sweet Home" (Michael's apartment in Tel Aviv) today and arrived to this cold city (Stockholm) a few hours ago. I had forgot (read: repressed) how people here are, how they look, how they act, etc. during my 16 days in Israel. I looked around me on the platform when I was waiting for the tube on my way home and all I saw was dressed up / heavily made up / anorexic / fake / drunk people. It suddenly hit me that I really don't want to live here. I'm not happy here. It's too cold. The weather, the people, the mentality - everything is just too cold. The people here doesn't laugh, they all look sad. And that makes me sad. Michael, come and take me out of here! Please. I'm serious.

I want to stay here forever

I'm so sad I'm going home to Sweden tomorrow. I would love to stay here, this is my other home now. I have had such an amazing time here in Israel, Michael has spoiled me so much. I am just so lucky. The days in The Dead Sea and up north was great, and I love Tel Aviv. I so want to move out here soon, and I'm sure I will. I just have to finish school first.

And another thing I know is how much I love Michael and that we are gonna be together forever, whatever it takes. And that feels so good!

The Yellow Sari

This is a joint blog between myself Michael Ben Raphael and my girlfriend Bella Andre. We intend to include our feelings and discussions about world events.

Why is this called "The Yellow Sari"? Because when I first went out with Bella, we were in Mapusa in Goa, India. And I said as a joke every 10 years I will buy Bella a yellow sari and we will stay in this hotel in Mapusa for the weekend (shithole). It is a personal joke that we want to share. We will share more of it in the future. All everyone needs to know now is that at the moment I am living in Israel, and Bella is living in Sweden and we will individualy update this blog frequently.

We hope you love it as much as we love each other.
