so...i feel as if i'm becoming more norwegian for a few reasons. minus the fact that i can't speak it yet, i've began to call 'soccer' football & when i log into my blog, everything is in norsk! haha my life is changing! haha

Hope everyone found themselves blessed & filled w/ the fullness of Life that only Jesus can bring on EASTER!!! I thank the God-Man, who died & rose again for US!!

so...yes, yes, i'm not even sure how many peeps check this blogeroo, but i haven't updated bc we've been crazy busy. that's always my excuse i know, but IT'S TRUE!! so instead of boring all w/ what we've been up to w/ words, i'll share some pics. i've posted a bunch on facebook as well, tho i know not EVERYONE is a part of that crazieness!!



A fun dinner @ Bjerg's house
w/ Brook(Brett's sis)

We had an AMAZING time traveling around Norway!! We took a short little trip that led us to see over 17 different fjords! We saw mountains, waterfalls, the ocean, many small towns, & every form of weather imaginable! Truly an experience i won't ever forget!
The Atlantic= BEAUTIFUL!

Our new norsk family!! OJ's(our landlord) aunt & uncle
We had a great time visiting with them!



THE ATLANTIC ROAD

It connects many small islands in the middle of the ocean.


This road is so sweet!

We got to take 2 ferries. This time i snapped a pic
right before a HUGE wave hit us & 'rocked the boat'!
It was fun, yet i was glad to be on steady ground
afterwards! I LOVE MOUNTAINS!!




View from OJ's cabin that we stayed in. DANG!!

A nice walk, enjoying the sun & the view
on the day that it DIDN'T snow!

The Haaviks are here visiting!!! I've been so excited
to spend time w/ my long lost sisters again!
What a great time to be w/ the girls & the
whole FAM!

We found some random caves & HAD to investigate!
I think we're trolls?!?!





We decided to have another adventure w/ the haaviks, so we
took a ferry into the fjord, just to take it! HAHA
it's free, so we could've ridden it back & forth, but we
didn't! but...we were the ONLY crazies out on the
deck freezing our butts off! it was great fun &
worth every moment of it!


Emmy is so precious!


Celebrating Easter on the Campuses!
Halvor, one of the students @ NTNU, decided to memorize The Passion (Mark 14-16) & recite it in the halls while classes were out at both campuses. It was so interesting to see the responses of the students. Many walked right by, several stayed to listen for a few moments, while just a handful stayed to listen to the whole thing.We had bibles that students could take for free as well as some good 'ole Easter candy! If anything, this was a way to make our presence known on the campus as Christians & what better of a time to share the message of Christ than during Easter, that's what it's all about!

HIYAH!!


Idunn is a hard core taekwon-do star!! We went to watch her test
on her mad skills. she got a black stripe on her red belt! only 2 more stripes &
she's got a black belt!! YOU GO GIRL!!


HAHA i don't have much to say about this!
Linn & I went for a fun walk and had to kiss the bull!
