Speaker 1
Does your older daughter enjoy having a baby sister around or are there jealousy issues starting?
Speaker 2
My oldest loves her baby sister, but I think she does get jealous of her sometimes. She was used to being the only one and got all of the attention until she was 2 years old, so that is tough. I do my best to give them both equal attention, but it is challenging. 
Speaker 1
I'm lucky to have twins so I haven't run into any issues like that. I also have challenges with making sure both my kids are entertained and happy, especially when my husband is out of town. Does it get tough for you between moving and your career?
Speaker 2
Absolutely! I usually feel like I'm being pulled in ten different directions and I'm left with my head spinning! I'm sure you can relate, considering you have twins. Do you ever have time to yourself? I seldom do, sadly. 
Speaker 1
I don't get much free time, but I try to find pleasure in everything I do. I'm also lucky enough not to work out of the home, so I can find small moments to relax throughout the day. It gets easier as the kids get older, too
Speaker 2
Ah yes, I'm sure working from home helps out a lot. I do get some time to unwind on Thursday nights. I love it. I usually take a bubble bath and have a glass of red wine. It's the only time that I can finally enjoy some quiet time!
Speaker 1
Excellent! I try to treat my tennis lessons and going to church as my 'me time' but I do like to spoil myself now and again. How is moving going?
Speaker 2
Moving is going well, but I will be happy when it's over! We have a moving company coming on Saturday to take the rest of the stuff. Hiring a moving company was well worth the cost, that's for sure! So much easier!
Speaker 1
I hired a moving company to help me when I left my family in Sweden. Definitely helpful, especially for an international move. I really hope your move goes smoothly! Are you staying in Florida? 
Speaker 2
Thank you! Yes, we are staying in Florida. We enjoy the weather way too much to leave. You just can't beat it! Beautiful sunshine nearly every day! 
Speaker 1
I believe it. I always feel bad for my family that's still stuck in the cold Swedish weather. What's the reason for your move again?
Speaker 2
Well, we just wanted a larger living space, really. We found a beautiful home on the beach and couldn't pass it up! You need to come visit sometime and check it out!

Speaker 1
A home on the beach sounds wonderful. How close to the water will you be? 
Speaker 2
We're going to be right on the coastline! I'm pretty sure there are going to be steps that go down onto the sand - really pretty stuff. You should really come visit once we settle in. I know you'd probably want to get out of the Sweden cold.
Speaker 1
I would love to visit! I don't really have much free time, but I would love to make it happen. Is your family excited about the move?
Speaker 2
I sure hope they are! Obviously I can't really ask the 3 month old, but my older daughter is excited to live in a "beach palace"... her words, not mine.
Speaker 1
Wow, I'm glad to hear they're excited! I've been trying to move out of Sweden, but it's been tough. I've still been saving up for a nice place I want to move to in Texas.
Speaker 2
That's rough to hear. Well, I have some cousins in Texas! I can always reach out to them if you ever need any advice or insider info on the area - don't hesitate to ask.
Speaker 1
Thanks, I'll let you know if I need some advice for sure! Have you found any unwinding time for yourself recently? It's important to destress! 
Speaker 2
I still only really get free time on Thursday nights, though I've been trying to be more available for my daughters on the weekends, since that's when they always want to go out and do stuff. You're right though, I probably should make more of an effort to carve out some time for myself.
Speaker 1
Yeah kids can be a handful for sure. Thankfully my twins usually get along quite well! One of them recently started singing in our church quire! She made the decision completely by herself too. 
Speaker 2
Haha that's really cute. I feel like I need to drag my kids to church every week, so we have totally different experiences on that end.
Speaker 1
Yeah I can imagine haha. Have you played tennis recently by the way? My tennis lessons are going really well. I'm beginning to hit my strokes a lot better!
Speaker 2
Honestly, I haven't really been able to find the time! I bet you could totally whoop me by now...maybe when you come out and visit we can have a little 1v1 and see how it goes!

I got a black eye during tennis practice today. I didn't realize this was such a dangerous sport.
Speaker 2
Oh no! I wouldn't think it would be dangerous. What happened? You must have got hit pretty good.
Speaker 1
Yeah I misjudged the ball and it hit me in the eye.
Speaker 2
That's a bummer - hopefully it heals quick.
Speaker 1
Yeah.  Have you been able to play tennis lately?
Speaker 2
Not really. Since we are moving, I've been busy getting things organized and packing. It's a bummer, it's been beautiful tennis weather.
Speaker 1
Florida has year around tennis weather, haha.
Speaker 2
That's true, but sometimes its way to humid to be outside and active.
Speaker 1
True.  Where are you moving to in Flordia?
Speaker 2
6 weeks. Not a lot of time to coordinate a family move. I'm getting a bit stressed.
Speaker 1
Make sure that you take some time for yourself.  I know that you don't have much free time.
Speaker 2
True. I almost wish we were moving sooner, so all of this can be over and done, but we don't close on the new house for 6 weeks. The craziness continues.

Speaker 1
My black eye has gotten a lot better.
Speaker 2
That's a relief. I can't imagine how painful it is to get hit full force with a tennis ball in the eye. Do you think it caused any long term damage?
Speaker 1
Thankfully not! It hurt for awhile but now it just looks bad with the bruise turning green and purple. Have you been on the courts lately or have you still been too busy?
Speaker 2
I've still been too busy preparing for our big move! I've been daydreaming about getting back on the courts though. I think I may pick up some protect eye gear so I can avoid any eye mishaps, haha. Have you given any more thought of moving?
Speaker 1
No I don't think I am going to be moving anytime soon. Where do you go for your sports equipment? I need a new place to browse. 
Speaker 2
Well, I usually go to some locally owned tennis shops near my courts. I really enjoy supporting small business. However, sometimes the small shops don't have what I'm looking for. In those cases I check out Dick's Sporting Goods. I'm not sure if you have those in Sweden, but they might ship internationally!
Speaker 1
Oh yeah shopping local is important! I am glad to hear you are going to the smaller tennis shops. 
Speaker 2
What sort of tennis equipment are you looking for? 
Speaker 1
I dunno, maybe some cool handle wrap. 
Speaker 2
That'd be neat. Do you have a preference in color or pattern design? My handle wrap is bright green with stripes!
Speaker 1
I think I want something patterned. I have a daisy dampener on my racket so maybe something that goes with that.
Speaker 2
That sounds really pretty. Let me know if you find anything you like.
