Couldn't say it better myself....

"And my advice to anyone reading this is, don’t let opportunities pass you by. Don’t dismiss people without thinking about how you may feel later. Don’t end something great, just because you think it would be too inconvenient to your life to let it continue. "

- this pretty much sums up how I ended up in Norway, with Bjørn after spending 8 weeks together....

I have been playing on Stumble all day (looking for birthday ideas)

All of the cool blogs I have been finding ...LOVE em...

I hoe my blog is one of the new blogs that you love. Although, I have to admit, it is kinda boring right now. I promise to add excitement to it.

Totally, totally agree!!

Hope you find a cool birthday gift - and then pass it along to the rest of us. My hubby's 40th is in 1.5 years - and I want to get him something worthwhile... I thought about sending him on a guy's adventure race with his 2 best friend's who ALSO turn 40 within a month of each other.

I completely agree! I couldn't imagine where I'd be now if I'd let crucial opportunities slip by. This excerpt is a great reminder to leap for opportunities as they come!

Love that quotation!

As for fondant and stuff - I think you can buy it and roll it out. If you bought some black food dye, then you could dye it black...

First of all, what's stumble? Never heard of it.

Second after dating for maybe a few weeks, Hubby came to the pool & caught me doodling Mrs Susan _____. Not only embarrassing but in the end truthful! From the time we decided to get married until we did was something like 7 or 8 weeks. I can kinda relate!

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood...

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long...
