IT'S 2008!!! MAY YOU HAVE A BLESSED YEAR!!!
I had a great Christmas and New Years this year! Jess & I spent time with Elisabeth and her family in Levanger for Christmas. We had the chance to experience a traditional Norwegian Christmas with a family. Though it wasn't MY FAMILY, i felt so blessed to have experienced the holidays with them. we spent many hours in the kitchen baking and learning the tricks to the norsk cooking. I loved making Lefse!! mmm.....

Lovely walk by the sea
Elisabeth's dad got the Macgyver episodes on dvd, so naturally we had to watch a few. I'd forgotten how much i love him! he's like an old school version of Jack Bauer or Michael Scoffield!
Solveig, Me, Jess, ElisabethESC-European Student Conference, Nuremberg, Germay
We headed to Germany on the 26th of Dec. and made it into Nuremberg on the 27th!We wondered the quaint cobbled stone streets and I loved taking pics of the old city buildings and bridges. I really enjoyed this cultural experience of seeing a city that was almost completely destroyed during WWII and has been rebuilt. There is so much history every step you take.
The youth hostel we stayed in aka a sweet action castle!!
Our group we brought from Norway!!
In smaller groups we reenacted Paul & Silas's missionary journey. We got the section when they were thrown in prison! Great fun & creativity.Most of us were prisoners & sang, "Nobody knows the trouble I've seen"
We experienced the famous Nuremberg sausages, German potato salad & just a bite of
crout( i don't like it much).

Many Dutch students that we traveled around the city with
Was able to hang with old friends and meet a lot of new ones too!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! We rang in the new year by watching thousands of fireworks from the castle balcony & with worship songs by a German band, Lightguide. Celebrating new years in Germany, I couldn't help but feel blessed! God truly is SO GOOD! I'm excited to see what this new year has in store! I know there will be much more excitement and experiences to come!
Happy 2008!!
After the conference, Cortney & I headed to Freidberg & Dresden(east Germany) to meet up with a friend, Anne!! It was a short trip, but what a great time to see her again!

Glad to be home now & in anticipation for the new semester to begin. A bit tired since we had about 35 hours of travel to get back to Trondheim! It was worth it & now I've learned what to do when you're stranded in an airport for 8 hours!! In less than a week we're starting up with this new semester and i'm SO EXCITED to be welcoming 2 great friends, Cara & Kevin who are coming to visit for about 10 days!!! I'll be updating when i get a chance, but i'm anticipating a very busy schedule for a few weeks.
May you find yourselves blessed this 2008!!
