Vacation

I just had two weeks vacation, it was wonderful.
Aleks and I spent the first week in the northern part of Norway (Tromsö and Narvik), visiting family.
We were well taken care of by my aunts and cousins on both my mom and my dads side.

We ate great food and just relaxed. It was so nice to get away for a little bit and to be able to show Aleks where my parents are from.

I also got to see my "bestefar" (my moms dad) wich I'm really glad I did. It was a bit difficult to see him in the state he was in now, always remembering him being a big and strong man and seeing him now, laying in a bed at a nursing home. I am glad I got to talk to him though and to kinda say goodbye. Even though he didn't look the same as he used to it was still the same voice that came out when he spoke. That felt good.

The secon part of my vacation I spent fixing some stuff at home, I painted in the living room and we got new curtains.
We also had some improvements done to the outside of the house. We built a deck in the back and fixed our porch in the front.
It's going to look really good once we get some paint on things.
