I'm here....again...


2 updates in 1 day. wow. Well, it's not 1 day norwegian time, but that's ok. :)


Ok, so just uploading some pics you all can watch... I haven't been doing to much yet, except from going to Wal Mart with Jane and stuff. Now I'm over at the Wendts house, and I have to say I'm surprised... Everything is like it used to be. It's not even awkward beeing here. As for now Lisa is the only one who's been home. But she had to go again- Heights has a baskeball game tonight, and she's cheering. She's sick though, so I dunno how much she'll be cheering... She just had mono, but she's over that... Basicly. Ok, so she was deff surprised by finding me here, so that was kinda fun!

Here, the christmas ornaments are still up. lol. No "trettendagjul" in this home... Well, the tree is down, and it's only christmasy on the front door and in the back yard.

Ok, gotta go, here's the pics.

Christmas...

Filling gas...

Jane and me at Wal Mart. Tomorrow is Valentines Day!

Back to the US and A.
So, I'm back. Yay.
I left my house around 9 pm sunday to take the train to Gardermoen 9:30. Arrived around 10:30, and I was totally (not) looking forward to spending the night at the airport waiting for my flight that was leaving 7 am the next morning. You probably wonder why the heck I took the train the night before then, but the fact is that that was the latest train sunday night, and the earliest train monday morning would had arrived to late for check in.
But don't worry! I prayed. And within the first 10 min on the airport God had everything under control. First Shanie called. That was fun. And while I was talking with her, I was walking around trying to find a nice place to sleep. But dude, what happens? Who do I run into? Well, no one else than Hans and Jordan! Yay. So, the bought be coffee, and I sat down there talking to them. Hans was leaving for Bardoefoess, while Jordan acctually was leaving for the US, and we deff had the same flight to Frankfurt! So after Hans had left, Jordan and I went to the sleeping chairs, trying to get some sleep. It really didn't work, but at least we tried. Around 5 we check in, and then the flight left at 7 ish.
In Frankfurt I had to walk fast to my flight, while Jordan ended up RUNNING. But we both got there in time. I was so luck (... NOT) that I got the middle seat in the middle row. So much for sleeping on that plane.
After 8 and a half hour on the plane I reached Chicago. I only had enough time to run to my gate, so I didn't even have time to hang aound and wait for my luggage. So, I totally used my very good skils (kidding) and asked two ladies to fix it for me, and so they did. I probably have to tell you that the two ladies was behind the "lufthansa" desk... lol. But no worries, the plane was about 2 hours late, and I just hang around in the CROWDED area. All the flights were delayd because of the weather... No worries, I had McDonals and Starbucks... So, around 7:30 ish I arrived in Wichita, Kansas where Jane and Amy picked me up. Then we went over to Jane's house, and I've been sleeping here tonight. When I got to bed I hadn't been sleeping for 47 hours, except from about 30 min on the plane from Frankfurt, and 1 hour on the plane to Wichita. I was tired! So I slept in this morning, and now I'm just chilling, waiting for Jane to come back from school. Then she's going to take me over to the Wendts house (my host family), and then I'm going to surprise them! Well, mom and dad know's I'm coming, but Kelli and Lisa thinks I'll be "home" for easter... Fun fun fun!
So, it's deff Kansas... The wind is hard, but there's actually snow on the grown!! This week is spirit week at Heights, cause saturday is Homecoming. I'm not sure if I'm going to the dance, but I'll deff go to the game. That's the most fun part! Jane broke her leg a while ago, so she's not going either (she looks like Forest Gump when he was a kid when she's walking!). But, the most awesome part, that I didn't know until last night, is that there's no school friday OR monday! Yay! Everybody has a 4 day weekend. That's pretty much kickin freestyle! 10 points for that.
And you may wonder why I haven't said anything about me going to Wichita here on this blog, but the fact is that I'm surprising the Wendts, and it wouldn't be a surprise if they read it here, or heard it from someone else..
It's GREAT being back!!

AFS- midtårsopphold...

This weekend I was a half way leader (also known as a slave...) for AFS. There were 35 FE-students and 5 leaders and 2 "slaves". We were staying at Fagerhøi Leirskole, and had a great time...
We were about 2 hour delaid friday night- the train with all the people from Oslo got stuck at Gardermoen because of an accident earlier that day... Saturday we went cross country skiing. It was a lot of fun! A lot of the kids had never been skiing before, and some of the them had never seen snow before they came to Norway. I had to help them take their skies on (and off), and we used about 2 1/2 hours on the 1.9 km long skitrip. It was freezing, but we had fun having the AFS Olympic games - down hill and slalom. Sunday morning we packed our things and headed back home. A great weekend....














Lunch sunday...




Going up hill was the hardest part....

Oslo...

So, Jenny, Marie, Tonje, Pål and I went to Oslo to visit the one and only Kristian Rem this weekend. And we were lucky: David came from Skien to join us! I had to work friday and early saturday, so I ended up taking the train in the afternoon saturday, while the others 4 drove in (Jenny IS a good driver!!!) friday evening.

The weekend was filled with a lot of fun. It was an "almost-snow-storm", so we used the public transportation a lot, but oh well... Saturday night we went to a concert to see our friend Anette. It was a lot of fun. Then we went home to Kristians and after a late night we went to bed... Sunday morning Jenny, Marie, Tonje and I woke up and the boys had made us breakfast! 10 points to them! After breakfast Kristian left to play a soccer game, while the rest of us cleaned up after ourselfs.... Then the 5 of us who were going to Hamar/Stange drove off, while the rest (that would be David...) took the train back home to Skien. We were suppose to stop in Eidvoll to see Kristians match, but you can say we got a bit delayed, and ended up only see 2. half. Kirstians team won 3-0. Yay for that. We were freezing so we sat inside watching (or at least Tonje, Pål and I did). And then we went home...
Tonje and Kristian preparing dinner...

Kristian really knows what girls likes... he baked some cinnamonrolles (norwegian ones- they're even better than the ones at cici's) and we ate them while watching the game.
