I´m still alive.....

....and well.

I just haven´t been on here for a while.

Plenty has been happening in the Rasmussen household so let me fill you in.

Hubby and I have been on a few dates. We continue to try and keep the romantic side of our marriage alive.

One Saturday Kristian invited me out to a special place called Sallys. We went a drive first, did a little shopping and ended the afternoon at Sallys, which is an American dinner with a motel just beside it. It was absolutely wonderful. It was like going back in time and the food was delicious. (Now I know where I want to hold my 50th birthday!!)

On another weekend we had a roadtrip and explored again, some areas of Denmark that we had not seen before.  We ended the afternoon in this lovely Indian Restaurant, and had the most delicious food then went to the movies and saw Beauty and the Beast. 

I got to hang out with some of my wonderful friends. One afternoon was spent in Ikea with my friend Audry. We shopped, we dreamed and we ate McDonalds! 

Another day I got to hang out with my good friend Rhona. We went to one of my favourite cafes for a Brunch Buffet. We ate till we were about to burst! We talked an awful lot too and it was just wonderful to catch up with each other again. Before we knew it, 3 hours had gone by. 

I had my first bike ride of the year. The weather turned mild and so I just had to get out on my bike again and explore the country side. It felt good.

Sara came to visit twice. She was working a few days in Copenhagen and so it was lovely to have her home again.

A few days after she went home her Christian came to stay. He was attending some meeting over in Copenhagen so he came for dinner and stayed the night. It was great seeing him again too.

We visited  Andrew and Camilla. Andrew grilled the best burgers for us all and we had a cosy evening watching X-factor.

We started a home Bible study group and had our first meeting. I am sooo looking forward to studying all sorts of different themes and Bible passages together with them.

 One Sunday Kristian´s mum invited us for lunch. We had a lovely afternoon with her. The weather was beautiful and we were able to spend the afternoon out on her balcony drinking in the sun.

Last Saturday evening Kristian was out for the evening and so I invited a few of my girlfriends over for a Girly night. It was a PJs party so everyone had to come in their Pyjamas. The theme of the evening was Italy, so I ordered pizzas from our local Italian restaurant. I made a huge salad and some coleslaw. We sat and enjoyed dinner together in our PJs over a lot of silliness, chatting and laughing. 

After dinner we took some time to do facials. We sure felt good by the end of that.

Then we ended the evening by watching the film - Only You which is set in Italy. We had a really great evening together and once again I was reminded about how blessed I am to have so many wonderful friends in my life. 

At work we have been renovating the classrooms. We finally finished the last one - a third grade classroom. The kids were sooo appreciative for what we had done that they invited us all to pancakes and juice. They held speeches for us and the girls from the class preformed a dance. Then the leaders of our school invited us all for a delicious lunch. 

I also got a little art work fitted in.....

I usually draw portraits by following some lessons. This time I decided to try and draw a picture of myself from a photo. No one to follow, just the photo. It was really rather hard, so much easier to follow a lesson but it sure was fun to do. It´s not the best but I just will have to keep practicing. 

One afternoon after work, I went to visit an Art Exhibition with my friend Leila. We had a great afternoon together and we both got very inspired to go home and do some art.

Kristian and I also went to a concert held over at the local farm. We were not sure what to expect, if it would be our type of music or not, but we wanted to support the local community. Well we were not at all disappointed. It was such a great evening. The guy had a great voice, he sang some really deep songs with great words and told some really funny stories between his songs. We were so glad we had gone. 

So that is basically everything that we have been up to over the last few weeks.  Now it´s holiday time again. I have stopped work for Easter. Kristian still has a few more days to work but then we both can have a few days holiday together, something I am really looking forward to.
