Søvasslia

A couple of weekends ago we went on our semester student retreat to Søvasslia, a retreat center about an hour and a half outside of Trondheim. We had ten students go with us and it was an amazing weekend.


Me and Cortney making dinner.

The Easter basket was appreciated by all. THANKS MOM!!



Linn really likes my mittens so I am wearing hers.




Magnus and me trying to figure out stuff for worship.



Me and Audun. Looks like something serious was being discussed.

We had the retreat from Friday until Sunday afternoon. We talked a lot about the grace of God and finding our identity in God. We had so much fun and it was a time to really grow closer to each other and to God. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful place either.

Flying Cats

Some people say I find ways to put myself in random situations on a regular basis. This is living proof that it is in fact random situations that gravitate towards me. Yesterday morning, I had just woke up and was sitting on my bed which is under this window. When I am sitting all the way up, my head sits right by the base of the window. I also have my window open all the time to get some nice air-flow in my room.



As I was sitting there checking my emails, I hear this loud 'meow' come from outside. As I turned to the left I see a cat crawling through my window. It's head is about six inches from my face and it nearly gave me a heart attack is scared me so bad. It was lucky I had just woke up otherwise I probably would have punched it in the face with my amazing self-defense reflexes. I looked at it and let out a scream which in turn scared the poor cat that was already terrified because it was stuck on my roof. Once I realized what had happened, I tried calling it back to my window. I reached out and got the cat and brought it into my room for about a half hour and gave it a head scratch that was greatly appreciated. I'm still more of a dog person though. They are nice and don't crawl into second story windows onto your head.
