What a night we´ve had. Butterflies in stomach - nerves on edge.....It was the final of X-factor. Boy have we all been on the edge of our seat. It was between Laura and Martin and they both put on a fantastic show. In the end though there was only one winner and that was 15 year old Martin!! (All the girls are wild about him - he is really cute though.) So he got the most sms votes. Well done Martin.
Kristian missed X-factor tonight as he is out with his old work. They were going to the theatre to see The King and I - lucky him. Then afterwards they were heading out for a meal. All exspenses paid by the firm.
Tomorrow I am heading out with my mother-in-law and all my sister-in-laws for a girls day out. I am soooo looking forward to it. This was something we did more often when we all had small kids. So it´s been a while since we organised one. Jette, my mother-in-law has organised it and is keeping everything very hush, hush. Apparently Kristian knows whats happening, but he hasnt spilled the beans. I think we are going to be doing some sort of wellness thing - aromatherapy/sauna/massage, something like that. The only thing I know is that we have to be at my mother-in-laws by 9.30am. Then we are heading on the train into Copenhagen for brunch. After that anything can happen!!!

I love weddings
I love going to weddings. (I think it´s because I am a hopeless romantic - just ask my husband.)
My favourite part of a wedding is when the bride arrives and is just about to walk up the aisle. As soon as I get a glimpse of her I always quickly look away and watch the groom to see the look on his face as his bride walks up the aisle to him. It always brings tears to my eyes.It is such a special moment - to see the look of love and joy that he has on his face for his bride.So what made me think of this?
Well it was a verse I read from Isaiah 62:5 (last part) ..."as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your God rejoice over you." I thought it was just so wonderful and it made me think about my own wedding and all the other weddings I have been to over the years. Just think that God rejoices over me just like the bridegroom rejoices over his bride. I am really special to Him.
That thought did me good so I just thought I would share it with you.:-)

Good Company
It´s the last day of the holidays. It has been such a lovely break! Tomorrow we are all back to school and work, and Kristian will be back on the computer looking for a job.
Tonight we had Karin and Philip over for dinner. It was spontaneous, but sometimes that´s the best way to do things. We had such a good evening together and there was enough lasagne for all!! It´s not so often we get together and that´s something we have to change!!!
Sometimes I feel that I am getting more Danish!! Everything has to be planned, no just popping in to see someone - but tonight was so nice, just to spontaneously invite people over and not worry if the house was clean and organised. Must do that a bit more often!!!

Boy was I a big mama at Christmas!!We took some pictures of me this morning in the same clothes that I had on Christmas Eve and the blouse was so big...I had to fold it in at the back. Take a look at the pictures and see for yourself ! Am I good or am I good???!!!!
To date I have lost 11½kg and have still a little bit more to go. You can be sure that I will keep you posted with my progress!!! I am turning into a health and fitness freak!!!

Easter Holidays
We are all off for Easter holidays. It´s great having some days off to relax and be together as a family.Kristian is also off work this Easter but that is because he has been made redundant. His firm was restructuring the company and making some cut backs. Unfortunately it was his position that they cut back. He had been employed in The Christian Union for 12 years. Now he is looking for a new job.
Meanwhile I am enjoying having him home. He is the best housekeeper I have ever had!!! It´s great to come home to a clean house and washing that is up to date. (that was something I was never good at! - washing basket was always overflowing when I was in charge of it. How do you do it kristian?)
So it´s Easter and guess what? We are having a blizzard outside. We have had such a mild winter - no snow and no frost and now when I want to off on picnic´s it starts snowing. Typical!!!
A little update on my diet. To date I have lost 11kg 200 grms. I really cant believe it myself. I feel great and am in desperate need of a new wardrobe! All my jeans are falling off me!I am determined NEVER to put the weight on again. Now my goal is to lose another 3 - 6kg. Let´s see if I can do it.

Mini holiday
Well I really am not very good at this blogging thing!! Last time I wrote was the 2nd January.I was just reading my about my goal for 2008 - to eat more healthy and lose 10kg. Well I am happy to report that I am doing really well in that area. I have to date lost 8.5kg!!! I have now decided to lose a little more, so my goal is another 6kg!! I really think I´m going to do it this time.
In February we had a winter week off school, so we decided to rent a summer house together with some really good friends, Jette and Filip. Sara invited her friend Winnie along and we had 4 days in a luxury summer house in the south of denmark. It was a really beautiful house and we had a great 4 days together. Lots of fun and laughter and good food. Thanks Jette for the good idea of renting a summer house together! It wont be the last time we do that.
