the house was empty when i came home from a long walk in the forest. i went straight up to my room. i thought, well, it's another "instant noodles" dinner for me. barely 5 minutes later, my family came...half a heartbeat after that, Felix was in my room asking me if i want to join them for dinner. and just when he got out of my room, i received a text message from Finn-Einar, asking if i want fårikål and/or wine?
i brightened up with the thought of wine. okay, not really!
i went down and found my family already settled with their dinner in front of the telly. so i just fixed my own plate and joined them. flattered that Finn-Einar has adjusted the sofa closer to the table just for me. i settled down and devoured my fårikål with much gusto! it was yummy!
and the friday night rocked on with lots of laughter and more doses of wine while watching X-Factor. the house was filled with our giggles and delightful shrieks.
the wine rations kept flowing. afterall, FE said that girls with curly hair gets more wine. lucky me!
when the news break came in, Felix indulged us to play Ludo. so the four of us were intent on winning (for Kjersti and my case, giving way to Felix to win). it was a long game with lots of going back to base since one of us had to beat the one out. but to make the long story short, Felix won and everyone's happy!
indeed, family time is quality time. i never had any regrets for not joining my friends at the October "beer" Fest in Stryn. the moment that i shared with my family was so precious that i will always carry it in my heart. the jaw-aching laughter that we shared will always make my heart balloon.
i am happy to belong in this family.
and....TGIF!
