THE MOVE 9! - SPECIAL EDITION

The Move 9 Special edition: "Long time, no blogging" Where to begin, where to begin?! When I have not been “blogging” in such a long time I have to face the problem of what topic to start my blog with; how can I choose what is the most important thing that had happened, when the two biggest happenings of my life both are happening during the same period? Well without any order of importance here we go: We’re having a baby!!! And we are married!!!! The marriage took place in a small church close to Herräng where both my parents and my mothers parents got married (not at the same time though) and then we went on a 2 week honeymoon to Greece. And it is all a mystery with the baby, cause it is suppose to be born in the middle of September and we got married on the 5th of june, so I guess it is the sun and special food or something in Greece that made the baby evolve so rapidly ;) The weddingday was so special, so filled with love and happiness and the ceremony was magical. I have even been told that it was “therapeutic”. The reason for that is that everyone cried, even the “tough” guys that normally never do were all sobbing like babies. And Mattias was no exception! When we said our vows we had to have a short paus, because we could not use our voices without weaping! The party was so much fun with Mohan as dj and the first waltz to Avril Lavigne´s “keep holding on” was like a floating on clouds surrounded by strawberries, vanillasauce and sunshine! And from now on, even though the feasty Zetterman-blood always will run in my veins, I am mrs Lundmark! The luckiest woman in the world! We do not know if the baby is a boy or girl but we are quite confident that it is a tap-dancer. Except hick-ups and cute tumbles the baby also spends it´s days working on some sort of irregular paddle-rolls. During herräng dance camp it was possible to leave name-suggesions in a box in the bar that said “name-suggestions for Hannas and most likely Mattias baby”. During a meeting we looked through the box and among names like aik, tobor, bajskorven, future prisoner, yoda, eight-count and cute stuff like Frankie, soda and swingnette the baby was given a nickname: Snuggles! Herräng was inspiring and an explosion of energy and fun. The swingkids were so talented and so much fun and we hope to expand to 2 weeks next year! The fifth week, when I was 8 months pregnant, we had comp and show so we had some help from Mikaela Hellsten, who is such amazing dancer. Mattias was so strong this year and did not only teach and look after me he also played a leading role, Bill Booking, in this years musical “what is this thing called swing”. He really is such a gifted singer and talented actor. Before summer we did the busy-bee-thing like always and Mattias have been a part of the team around lovely “Singin´in the rain” in Malmö and also “Änglagård 3” which is a cinema-movie. We both danced in “the last Bounce” with David Dalmo and about 200 other amazing dancers. The show took place in the Stockholm Ericsson globe arena and over 50.000 people saw it (no, I did not sneeze and pushed the “0”-button by mistake; fifty thousand people saw the freakin show! It is crazy!). We have done some lindy-travelling: we have been to Russia, Germany (Berlin, Munich and Cologne), Norway, Umeå (which is in Sweden, but feels like the Antarctic) and Singapore (which would be the opposite of the Antarctic). With a lot of help of the sweet mr Matt Bedell (and sweet Sing offcourse) I had my beautiful weddingdress made there. We have done some auditions and are still waiting for the final results and that is very exciting!! I will spend some months at home now just snuggling with Snuggles and Mattias will do some teaching in Stockholm. Mattias will go to Waterkant jam with lovely Ewa Burac and the I will aim to do a small comeback at Snowball, but it all depends on the mood of little Snuggles. I will attempt to write the blog more often than once every six months, so stay tuned! Hugs and swing it people! Mr and mrs Lundmark
