I made it!

Phew! After a 5 hours of waiting in the airport for my 9 hour flight and a 4 hour car ride to Skövde, I'm finally here!!! It's been an incredibly long day and a half, but it's totally been worth it! I've had the opportunity to meet nearly all of my teammates and a number of the guys from the baseball team. In fact, two of them drove all the way to Stockholm (that 4 hour drive I was talking about) just to pick up Ma and me. Everyone's been so accommodating and understanding! Anzo took Mom and me to a local restaurant where I'll be getting my meals and then to the grocery store so we could get some food for the mornings. She also offered to show my mother and me downtown Skövde! Lina has offered to come by the apartment and pick me up for practice tomorrow. Everyone is so generous! I'm so excited to stay here for the next 4 months!
