I did not become engaged when I resided in Norway, nor am I
\nengaged to a Norwegian.\u00a0 Better yet, I just
\nrecently got engaged to a super great man from my hometown a few years older
\nthan me who is half Brazilian (mother is Brazilian) and half Norwegian (father
\ncomes from Norwegian descent).\u00a0 So
\nthere\u2019s plenty of Norwegian blood in the line, plus the dark hair and skin;)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Years ago I often wondered if I\u2019d end up with a native
\nNorwegian and live in Norway, but I am so excited to now be engaged to a guy
\nwho I\u2019ve spent time with in Norway, has Norwegian friends, and who has
\nNorwegian blood in him (not that that is the most important thing in the world!)
\nand who grew up in the same town as me (and all of our parents still live
\nthere, as well as us)!<\/p>\n

\nengagement, but it is obviously a big deal for me, my fiance, our families and
\nfriends. \u00a0Vi er forlovet<\/strong> (We are engaged).\u00a0 Han
\nspurte meg paa en kort tur til <\/strong>Breckenridge, Colorado (He asked me on a
\nshort trip to Breckenridge, CO) forrige
\nhelg<\/strong> (last weekend).\u00a0 Det var fredagskveld<\/strong> (it was Friday
\nnight) og vi hadde spist pizza <\/strong>(we
\nhad eaten pizza).\u00a0 Vi bestemte oss <\/strong>(We decided) at
\nvi skulle ikke bli ute lenge den kvelden<\/strong> (we shouldn\u2019t stay out late that
\nnight) paa grunn av at vi skulle gaa paa
\nski neste dagen <\/strong>(because we were going to ski the next day).\u00a0 Derfor,<\/strong>
\nbestemte vi oss<\/strong> (Therefore, we
\ndecided) aa bare hoppe i varmebadet<\/strong>
\n(to just hop in the hot tub).<\/p>\n
\nav det fordi vi har vaert borte sammen i flere helger i det siste at eg hadde
\nbestemt meg aa ikke tenkte at hanne skulle stille spoersmaalet da (<\/strong>I didn\u2019t
\nthink anything of it because we had been away together for several weekends
\nlately and I had decided that I wasn\u2019t going to think that he was going to ask
\nthe question then. \u00a0Jeg fortelte ham dette ogsaa<\/strong> (I told him
\nthis also).<\/p>\n
\nvarmebadet pga at det stengte og vi saa ganske rart ut kan jeg tro<\/strong> (We had
\nto leave the hot tub because it closed; we looked rather strange, I think).\u00a0\u00a0 Vi
\nhadde paa oss store <\/strong>[Sorel]
\nvinterstoevler, tykke jakker, og ei flaske vin i veska mi. <\/strong>(We had on big winter
\nboots, thick jackets, and a bottle of wine in my purse.\u00a0 I was trailing behind him with the full maane<\/strong> (moon) behind me, as well as the
\nbeautiful snow-covered fjell <\/strong>(mountains)
\nand he snudde rundt<\/strong> (turned around),
\ngot down on one kne<\/strong> (knee), pulled
\nout a ring, and spurte meg om jeg ville gifte
\nmeg med ham<\/strong> (asked me if I would marry him).\u00a0 Of course the answer was JA!\u00a0 With taare<\/strong>
