Greetings! I realize it has been awhile since we have posted anything! Life has been hectic the past month! I have gotten 4 new jobs! (part-time and very sporadic, one is two nights a month, one is every thursday, etc)... I have started Norwegian class also! We have homework every class session, so I am trying my best to stay on top of things. :) I have good and bad language days... some days I understand a lot of what my teacher is saying... and then other days I feel that I am in over my head at level 2. :) The past week or so, I haven't had any desire to study Norwegian, so that doesn't help any when my motivation is lacking. :)

A couple of weeks ago, there was quite a bit of snow... then it began melting and going away... but yesterday the temp went way down and snow came again. Last night I was out in the snow and wanted to describe it to you. Many of you are from Texas and have never witnessed this. They have 'blue nights'... this is when the air is actually blue at dusk. This comes from fog in the air that turns to ice. The reflections off of these tiny little glittery ice fragments make a beautiful light blue color in the evening air! :)

A couple of weeks ago, as i stepped out of trine's car, glitter flew off of the car and sort of floated in the air. I asked trine when she had been using glitter. (she works with children, so glitter isnt such a strange thing.) But it was actually this fog turned to ice. :) so the air is filled with glitter... everything sparkles. so lovely. :)

I am putting in a link for a little video of snow at vegars parents house a couple of weeks ago. :) i had never seen trees that looked like this... i have seen trees covered in snow... but this was different. the snow was so light and feathery along the branches. the trees looked like they were actually white. :)

more soon!
