So I had this realization last night about how different Norway is going to be:
 I was thinking to myself about how I wanted a fun, cute jacket so that I wouldn't be cold if I was dressing up and going out with friends to dinner or out at night.  Yet this thought process goes along with the assumption that the temperature drops when it gets dark like in Colorado... and I forgot the fact that it's going to be light most of the time! Norway, also known as the "Land of the Midnight Sun" stays light during most of the day during the summer. This is going to be totally different for me because I seem to like it dark when I go to bed.  I'll definitely be bringing my eye cover to keep out the light when I sleep.  Anyways, I just thought it was funny how things like that can slip your mind when you're getting ready for this long, amazing trip!

Peace,
Danielle

P.S. Dad, even though I only got to see you for a short time (and that most of that time was working), I'm really glad you came out this weekend.  I love you and Happy Father's Day!!

P.S.S. Jon, thank you for a wonderful three and a half years.  Love you!
