Beautiful Norway

Just got a huge e-mail from my wonderful friend, Andy, who lives in Norway. He's coming over to our side of the world soon, which makes me very happy. Kind of wierd, though... turns out in the time that I was having that crazy dream that I would let end with him in it he was planning on e-mailing me, as we had not been in contact for a little while. But, like I said, I got a monster e-mail from him just now.

We'll have to pray for schedualling wonders as he is planning to come and visit me during the beginning part of September, and that is when I am also planning to be at a very cool opprotunity in Toronto. But I think I'm leaving on the 9th, so there should be some time to figure stuff out. Plus Andy will be in Montana for an SBS with YWAM, which isn't far away compared to Norway, so I hope to be able to see him while he's over here. I'm toying with the idea of working all year long and heading back to Norway with him for a while because I promised him that I would see him in his native land.

Funny story about Andy. He entered this competition for roller-bladders in Norway. Apparently this competition brings out the best of the country, only the top one and two didn't show up for this one. Andy skated the competition.... and won! Now he is invited to take part of a huge competition to compete against the best skaters in Denmark and Sweden!! Here's Andy's words because they made me laugh:

"Winning that competition I automatically qualified for the Nordic Real Street, which is going to be held in Oslo, our capital. There, the winners of the Real Streets in Denmark and Sweden will also be joining in... and basically all the best skaters in Scandinavia... hahahahaha.. and I'm supposed to be there... I don't even know if I dare to show up... those guys are like super-crazy good... basically pro's... hehe... so funny to think about."

But in Andy's competition he was landing tricks that he'd never even tried before. Maybe the same will happen in Oslo! I'll keep you posted. He has to see if he can get out of the army on that day because he's serving his one year manditory term right now and he'll be on duty the day the competition is.

Anyway, that was definately a highlight for my day 7 of year 24. That and I went and got my hair all chopped up again. Shorter this time, but still... hot hot hot! hahahaha...
