Wow, so it has been a looooooooooooong time. I almost forgot my password to get into my blog account. Im not so sure I will even be able to remember the order in which I have done things. I still remember the big stuff that has happened, but nothing in specifics. :/ For example... In the upcomming blogs I will be talking about my trip to Europe, the Easter Camp that I attended, a change in family, the Norwegian end of the year exams, Swimming in the ocean, Our trip to Kristansund, and Joakims birthday. If I think of other big things that have occured, I will let you know. :) So far, its all I got.
P.s. Right now I am talking to Katrine. She feels that she should be mentioned. ;)
