Here I am ready to depart for the night. Excited huh!
This is the place where we having our dinner. Hovde gård. It is both a hotel and a restaurant. It was an old school and a barn for some years ago.
Meet the young once and the young girls
Me and Jessa, who both came from the Philippines
Joanna and Chris from USA
Monica from Poland. It was her first time to meet us. She is new here in Norway.
Randi, a Norwegian and Thea from the Philippines.
Leny from the left side is from the Philippines and Maria to the right is from Bulgaria.
Cheers for the coming year.
Anyway, we also came there for the food, so these are what we ordered.
We were all hungry, but picture first for the girls.....
and me too!
After eating we had exchange gift and this is what I got. Sorry, I forgot to take pictures of the other's gifts because we were having so much fun.
Anyway, after eating and opening the gifts, we decided to talk about our achievements and good memories this year, challenges that we had been through and plans for next year. Everybody shares the good memories and one of the best is what we had done as a group last summer. Going to the beach, danzing Zumba and out in the restaurant for dinner. Some of them that are still new here in Norway, struggles with the language and getting a work. But still with hope that one day, everyhing will be alright.
We already had a plan for the month of January which is we are going to the Bowling hall. In February, it will be a love month party which I will be organizing. Or else many of us will going to travel to our home countries to visit our homelands next year.
Anyway, before midnight, time to say goodbye and while we wait for our turn to pay our bills, we took the chance to take pictures of each other.
Me of course since I am the author! :)
and some of the girls that were available!
And the group wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Bye for now. Ending this post with a prayer for you and me:
Dear God, I pray that we desire to love you with all our hearts, souls and strengths.
That we should not be friend of the world and forget your words.
I pray for your love to reign in our hearts.
We are in need of your wisdom to avoid the virus of this world.
Fill our mouths with your words....in every battle we take.
Fill our mouths with your words....in every battle we take.
I pray in Jesus name.
Much love to you all!
JOY
Merry Christmas to all the beautiful girls in Norway : )
