changes!

an exciting weekend! not only did i watch 6 episodes of season 2 of "prison break," i also got a new haircut and we had a fireplace installed in our apartment. gone are the $200 electricity bills! and now i am the proud owner of pannelugg/bangs! without further ado...



ikke verst, eh?

i went to oslo last weekend with erika to visit my good friends, kjersti and karen amalie. it's so nice to just step away from the every day life occasionally. we shopped, went to cafes, took walks in the city, went to a ywam oslo gathering, and even spent an hour or so browsing cds on sunday afternoon. i highly recommend rufus wainwright, jens lekman, beirut, and band of horses. they've been on my ipod all week.
ken helser taught at the dts this week and as i sat in on the teaching, i had such a sense of thankfulness for who God is and what He does in our lives, often without us even noticing. i really want to be aware of how He's moving and move right along with Him.
and... i went to the police station to see about my visa and will now apply as a skilled worker. there's a lot of paperwork involved and much clarifying to be done about what i'm doing here, but i have peace about it. and after 3 years i can apply for a settlement permit, which allows me to stay here as long as i want! now i just have wait and pray.
