BIG Changes Ahead

Well things are getting pretty crazy right now...

Al is getting ready to go on his mission!!! He reports to the MTC on May 4th... only two more weeks...
He went through the temple today with his friends Kevin, Kyle and Eric.  Everything's getting official.  Norway is lucky to have such a great guy coming their way for two whole years! :)  I'm so proud of his decision to serve a mission and his commitment to it.

Some interesting things we have recently found out about Norway:

• It isn't as cold as people make it out to be - Summers are still swimming suit weather.
• They don't have showers - they have public bath houses that are basically a steam room to open your pores and then you jump into a ice cold bath.
• People often call it "The Most Beautiful Country"
• He will get to see the Northern Lights in certain areas

I am going to miss him so much.  My only comfort is knowing I'll be super busy for the next two years with my Nursing classes and planning a wedding!!!!!

I'm spending as much time as possible with him and glad that I can be visiting him during this exciting time!!!
