I can hardly believe it. But 10 minutes ago I got the phone I’ve been waiting for for so long time. She told me there was a little boy waiting for me in Etiophia. He is a 2 years and 3 months old. And his name is Tinsae. Tomorrow I’ll get some photos of him and papers that will tell me some more. She read a little for me over the phone and it seems like he’s a healthy boy with social skills. “Well build and strong”.

Since I was a little girl I have had the name ready for a boy (have no idea about what to call a girl, though, but who cares now?!) I want to name him after my grandfather on my mothers side, who was named Matteus (Matthew); I’ll twist it a little so it becomes Mathias (like how the hebrew wrote it). The name means A GIFT FROM GOD, and what other is this child!?!

From now my life will never be the same ever again, and I’m so happy :D
How am I going to get anything done today?????!

Off course there is still the possibility for me to say: no thanks, and I shall think about it seriously while reading the medical rapport tomorrow, but to be honest there is about 99 % chance I say: YES please :)



Tomorrow is Olsok - or St.Olaf’s day….. even though we are Lutheran we celebrate this day and remember how Christianity come to our land (even though some of his methods was a little bit ruff!) Actually there is two events for tomorrow. First a concert at the red church, then a service close by it - but a little bit out of the center and close to the fjord - out in Gods nature. Usually this is a good evening where even people seldom attending church can find their way. Tomorrow morning I’m going to write a sermon and find what songs to sing. Our cantor will join and help me lead the songs, that helps a lot!

Beautiful cruise ship sailing by, must stop and look for a minute…. It’s all shiny with all of it’s light, but to dark to get a descent photo!

I’m very curious about the concert. Don’t know who’s coming exactly, but know they are locals. I know my cantor will play some melodies and also that I shall sing a couple of songs. I love to sing. But lately (last three years) I have not been a member of any choir, so I’m a little bit out of practice. This makes me a bit nervous - but I guess it’s good to be that from time to time…..
Makes me focus :D

Well, it’s midnight and time for bed!! At least if I ever shall learn to get out of bed a little bit earlier ;)

Love and hugs!!
