Very very random pictures from our firs 73 days of Happily Ever After.
*
We are well, we've had some colds, flu and stomach bugs, but we're allright. And we're looking forward to celebrating Christmas on our little hill,
in our cozy little perfect dream-house
(that, for anyone wondering is staying TOASTY in the cold weather =)
We wear Reindeerboots (both of us) and they keep our feet warm, yes toasty..
This is our "Christmassy" little house last night
All four candles now lit in the Advent wreath
Just about the nicest bedroom ever
Our bookshelf, which yes, fits all our books =)
My little kitchen, with my great-grandmother's salt, rice and spice jars.
What we do... trucking
The one day I was a housewife =) well, I always am, I'm just out "there" with my husband most of the time.

What a sweet little home! Your stove is amazing, and I'd love to cook on it.
I'm thrilled to hear that you are happy and well, and Ben, too!
Um, yes. Perfection. Simply beautiful perfection! :)
Your home is absolutely adorable and wonderfully cozy.
Your love shared between you both is similar to mine and my husband's. We have been married a little over 10 years now (I married at 19)...and our love has only grown. I pray yours does, as well!
Beautiful Christmas wishes to you both! xo
What a beautiful love you have. Enjoy your first Christmas and Mr & Mrs! Best wishes,

So nice to see these wonderful pictures of your cozy, new home. It is beautiful. We too have been plagued with head colds, and stomach viruses this winter, but we managed to still have a wonderful Christmas. It is very nice to see you as you begin your lives together, especially since I followed you on Jewels' blog before you were married!
Stay warm.

Dear Aslaug, Merry Marriage and Happy New year. Your home is so very beautiful. Thanks for your time and sharing your joy with us. The Lord's many blessings for you and Ben. By His Grace, Cynthia
Kjære Åslaug.
Godt nyttår! Eg håpar dykk for eit nydeleg år.
Stor klem frå innesnødde Marianne. Eg skulle hatt ein traktor.
Åslaug!! ÅÅÅh, for et koselig hjem, likte spesielt soverommet! Går det bra med dere?? har lyst til å besøke dere snart! Håper dere hadde en fin jul? Glad i deg! savne deg (og browniesen din!;) klem Ingrid
Thanks for giving us a glimpse into your happy home! It's so sweet and cozy!
Question for you: how do you make up a cozy bed? It looks like you have a duvet that's just the size of the top of the mattress. Why is that? What other blankets/sheets do you use? My feet are *freezing* every night and I wonder, "how does one make up a toasty bed?!!"
Your home is sweet and I like your little white stove with the shelf.
I hope we get to meet in person someday,
Hannah
Aaslaug, I am so happy for you and Ben. I have gotten to know you just a bit through Eyes of Wonder. My husband and I were married in Denmark and then traveled for 2 months. One month was spent in Norway where we eventually reached my husband's ancestral home near Tromsoe. We stayed in a little hytte that looked very much like your new home. I pray that God continues to bless you in this wonderful life. Reading your blog today has made me very happy.
Jen: Freezing at night? I know just what you mean =) But I figured out how to avoid it. I pulled the cotton bedding off of our bed, put on wool blanket underneath us as a sheet and one wool blanket between us and the icy cold comforter. No more dying-from-cold-while-warming-up-the-bed... Oh, and it also helps to keep a warm husband next to you, whom also volunteers to get up and stoke the fire during the night =)
And about the comforter that is the same size as the bed? Nope, what you see is a futon bed, a queen size comforter and a king size comforter cover, don't ask =)
Aslaug,
It's always so nice to see a post from you. Your blog is so great!!
What a great idea to do to help keep your bed warm.
Something you might want to think about are flannel sheets...we LOVE them. So warm and cozy.
Do you all have electric heat or only use your fireplace/woodstove?
Please think about posting pictures of the outside of your home soon...I just love your home.
Blessings to you,
Cathy
missing you in your posts:) christina
Hi, I came over here from Eyes of Wonder and have enjoyed visiting here from time to time before. I just wanted to say that I am so happy for the blessings God has given you in your new life in America. I hope that you aren't too homesick. God was my matchmaker too and I only moved 850 miles, but I moved somewhere I never wanted to live... and that's how I knew it was a true love from God when I happily did that. The homesickness gets better in time and then there are the joys of visits back and forth. I do think that it really helped us cement our relationship in those first couple years alone - it was mostly just us and God and we learned to depend on Him and each other and it made our bond tight. Twelve years later the love has grown and changed but I have never had regrets and it just keeps getting better! God bless you in your journey. I hope you have time to blog soon. We all enjoy it! :-)
