Napoleon dynamite!!

Okey, so, it's official...'Napoleon dynamite' rocks my world! If you've never seen the movie, you just have to! It's about....umm.....nothing! But it's definately a love/hate movie. Either you LOVE it, or you HATE it... The 'grey zone' only exists the first time you watch it, so it should be watched twice, for you to actually figure out wether you like this genious movie or not.

If you're coming to visit Stranda before june (or you live here...), I suggest you pop by, and watch it with us. I mean, I've got pink napoleon dynamite socks, and 'Napoleon Dynamite -Like, the best special edition ever!' on my shelf, so I'm ready any time!

Oh, and by the way, if you've seen 'napoleon dynamite', and hated the 'plot' (there isn't one, really), but loved the humor, you should watch 'benchwarmers'! Same humor, but WITH a plot!! How amazng is that!?!!

Smell ya later!

Sooo.....

At the moment I'm home in Trøndelag, and Jon has finally met his coming in-laws. Fun fun fun!
I love this place! Especially now, when the first flowers are starting to pop out! Spring is just awesome!! Don't you simply love how God created it all?? He's so clever eh?

Blessings to all!

Jon says hi and something witty... He's funny...I like him...

The travelling doorbell...

I now live in the building of my church, so I have to have the front door closed at all times, since people can walk around in the house without me noticing. A few weeks ago, I bought a doorbell, so that people who don't have my phone number can come visit me too! it was a wireless doorbell, and I had to stick it on the glass door with tape. You know, that kind that is sticky on both sides, and is really strong - made for outdoor use.

Every second wednesday we run our youth ministry down in the basement, and we were doing this the same wednesday that we had the funeral of one of our previous elders. Because of the funeral earlier that day, there was a girl called Malene who was visiting. Malene also wanted to check out the youth ministry before driving back south. While she was here, some guys stole my doorbell and stuck it on a random car, parked in front of the door... This car turned out to be Malene's car, but the boys didn't know this. By that time, Malene was late for a ferry, so she left in a hurry...yes...WITH my doorbell stuck on her car...

Somewhere on her way home, she discovers the doorbell, and sees by the name tag; it's mine. In the meantime, I have discovered that my doorbell is missing, and I'm pretty annoyed. The doorbell was not that expensive, but it's still money...the church's money. Besides, I would have to drive for an hour or so, including a ferry, to get a new one. So I'm praying to God that He would help me fix the problem. Someone randomly going to the city, someone finding a doorbell or having one in a closet somewhere... just some solution to the problem. The next week, an other girl, Ingvild, who couldn't come to the funeral because of examinations in school, comes to visit.

Then, one day, she comes up to me and tells me there was this girl at the airport in Oslo (Oslo is far from here...) who came and gave her something to give to me, and she pulls my doorbell out of her pocket. Shocked at what I was seeing, I just couldn't say anything. What the heck had happened???
Finally she tells me the story, that Malene and her are good friends, and decided to meet up at the airport, where Ingvild was waiting for her plain, since Malene was in the area. The doorbell got handed over, and finally brought back to me.

You can call it a coinsidence if you want, I call it a Godinsidence.

Yet another kinda pointless update....

What do people really write in these blog things?? I mean, I don't travel around at the moment, so even if I find my life quite exciting, it's the same thing that happens every week. Youth ministry, kids ministries, bible stufy group, worship team, work at the kindergarden, and a bit of preching from time to time, is what keeps me busy, and now it's less than 19 days until Jon arrives!!!! Yesssss.....!

Complains...

So, I've gotten some complains about how bad I am at updating this thing... Well, I never said I am good at this...

Aaanyhow...

I just had three girls visiting, who I went to boarding school with. SO much fun!!! And then Benedicte came (a girl who's presently a student at the boarding school). She's staying over night with me! wohoo! Fun! I like having people over. And I like making coffee for them.
I like Jon too. ...and brownies...

Who ever you are, you who read this, Bless you!

Stupid cold!!

How the heck can this much stuff be inside of one tiny nose???? I mean, there really is not that much space in there!!! ...you would think...

OH....

...and I forgot.. I figured I might as well put out my myspace page here. (I just love these link thingys!!)

I've got it!!

In Norway we've got something we call a toast iron... I haven't seen it anywhere else, so I don't know what you call them, but anyways... What I figured out though, is this: You take two slices of good bread (preferably not white... I said good bread, right...) and you put chocolate spread on both of them. Like Nutella or something. Then you put some slices of brown cheese (preferably the dark one) on one of the slices (...yes...on top the chocolate...) and you just mash the two slices together, put a bit of butter on the outside of the sandwich (if you can call this a sandwich...) and you squeese it in the taoster iron thingy, so it all just melts. .....mmMMmmmm.....I'm druling....and I just ate one too! wow.

Sooo...

Today has been a really lazy day. Niiice... :o)
I've basically done nothing! Well, that's not quite true really. I did make dinner. And I ate it. Wow. That's quite some work... Now I'm exhausted. I think I'll write more later.

YO!....

Well, so....I'm here again. I'll now try keeping this blog somewhat up to date...we'll see how it goes though...hehe.

Today I'm filling in application forms like nothing else. And I have to say, this is the most difficult aplication form I have ever filled in, but I'm sure it's worth it, so that makes it easier.

Hey, click here to have a look at the school me and Jon are aplying for!

Smell ya later!
