Until next time

With our trip coming to an end, I can honestly say that it's been the best visit home I've had in a long time. Between showing Spencer around, my whole entire family spending Christmas eve together under the same roof, seeing my aunt and uncle as well as my grandparents, and catching up with friends; I couldn't have asked for a better two and a half weeks back home. We are both very sad to leave, but also ready to be back in Portland. I miss tattooing, my coworkers, my friends, and of course my two little furry babies.

We had a wonderful Christmas eve, which in Norway is spent by eating a traditional Christmas dinner, followed by unwrapping mountains of Christmas gifts. It literally took us about seven hours from start to finish. It was exhausting, but fun! Last night, Spencer and I escaped the house, and went and saw my friends Purified in Blood play at a local club. It was the best. So many good people showed up, and I got to spend a few hours with my friends from way back. It was a total time machine, and it was great!

Yesterday we said goodbye to my grandparents, my youngest brother, and my dad. They all had to go back to their different parts of Norway.  Tonight we're relaxing at my mom's house, with movies and more good food. Tomorrow is our last day here, but I think we're already both very excited to come back to Stavanger. And hopefully sometime soon!

I can't wait to come back! If you want to see the rest of my photos from this trip, you can go here. Enjoy!

Until next time,
