lyndee's to do list for 2007:

• find out what the heck i'm doing with my life
• become a pro at water skiing
• publish something
• survive a trek in the himalayas
• learn to knit (in an effort to fully understand norwegian culture)
• use my super powers for good, not for evil
• sleep

if anyone has suggestions on how to accomplish any of these, just let me know (i'm especially keen on suggestions for no. 1)!

here are a few pictures from one of our living room windows. we have a great view of skien. on new year's it was particularly nice with the 20 minute fireworks show. the visit with amy was quite nice. we went to oslo for a day and for the first time since living here, i did "touristy" stuff. we went to vigelands parken, a famous park in the center. a man named gustav vigeland sculpted 212 bronze and granite sculptures and more than 600 figures. it's quite amazing. it was quite cold that day, frost covered the ground, so it was a bit magical. i'll put up pictures after i download them.
i am going to scotland (and starbucks) in two weeks! really excited. and at our ywam norway worker's gathering i met the missionaries our team going to india will work with in the himalayas. we are taking an 8 day trek through the mountains, praying, seeing the nature. it's the first time in 3 years that i've been excited to go on a mission trip. i think we'll see great things happen there.
