As you can see from the new photo on the blog Spring is slowing making it’s way to Norway. These flowers are called “Snow Drops” and they are literally coming up through the snow all around the house. We have had minimal snow this week and it is usually followed by rain. The temperatures have been warm (33-46 degrees) and it has been mostly sunny. We are defiantly getting excited for no more snow and warm weather. We used to laugh at the Norwegian idea of spending all your time outside but now we are really starting to understand it. When there is snow on the ground for 6 months and the weather is nasty (and it is dark) it REALLY makes you appreciate the little changes like melting snow, warmer temperatures and sunshine. We have found ourselves craving time outside even though it is still pretty chilly by our standards.
Funny story from the weekend- we are at the grocery store and I am looking at some stuff while Jason is off with the cart getting ice cream. I hear a loud crash and think to myself “I hope that is not my husband”. Sure enough it was – he knocked over an entire display of candy – maybe 500 boxes! Luckily a worker came running and proceeded to spend the rest of her shift picking them up and sorting them! We felt pretty bad so we bought a box. There is not much else to report. Work for Jason is slow and due to budget cutbacks we don’t think he is going to get to the States for work at all this year. School for me has been drama filled but it is still going just fine.
