And the rain keeps coming...

I am a little pessimistic these days about the rain. It seems like it has been falling consistenly for eight weeks or so with little or no break in between. I think in the last two weeks, we have had one day of sun. One day! Combined with the darkness -- the sun comes up at 8:45 a.m. and begins to set at about 3:30 p.m., it makes for some pretty dreary days right now. Thank God for Christmas, music, and friends to keep you going in this season. It truly is, how do you say, annoying with all this rain and darkness. I have a little confession to make -- I have been praying for snow. At least it would brighten up the grey days with some white. Dear Jesus, please bring some snow!

Otherwise, I am quite tired with the busy-ness of the season. Tonight, I am glad just to sit down and breathe a little bit.

Talk to you soon!

Hei! Don't know if you remember me but I posted on your xanga awhile ago. I am still here in Norway too. Just wanted to encourage you about being in Norway for Christmas...if you stay with a nice family you'll love it. I've done it now for 2 years. This year though I am blessed to go home to Seattle. Anyway, have a wonderful day. Where is it again that you are living? I am in Oslo.

Hey there! I am sorry I can't comment on your blog... I wasn't able to click on your name and link up to you. Anyway, I am living in Kristiansand. In March, I will have been here 3 years. I am excited to be here for Christmas but not excited about the rain at the moment. It gets annoying! :) Have a wonderful day. We'll have to get a cup of coffee maybe the next time I am in Oslo.
