Little to big.: thoughtful gift

Buying presents for your significant other isn't always the easiest thing in the world. Heck, buying presents for any adult person isn't super awesome all the time. It seems like we have gotten to an age where we buy what we want with our own hard earned wages.

I think Lars was really feeling this phenomenon this year and was having a hard time figuring out what to get me for Christmas. I think we can even go as far as to say he was a little stressed out.

He ended up hitting the nail on the head and got me something I really wanted but hadn't even considered asking Santa for---a tripod and a new lens for our camera! What a stud...

And there is one of the very first pictures taken with the new equipment (the tripod, not the lens).

If you have been following my blog for awhile you have probably figured out that photography is a hobby of mine! I even have my own photography site! But I have neglected this hobby of late, so big points to Lars for a well-timed, thoughtful gift!

Thank you kjære!

Little to big

Many of you have asked me about my title: "Little to big". My hometown in the US (WA) is lovingly referred to as Little Norway and is actually pretty gosh darn Norwegian in itself. I never really got that growing up; I was oblivious. Thought it was normal for towns to have velkommen and bøker signs around the place and that it was just random that our high school mascot were vikings. But no, that isn't normal...that is a sign of strong Norwegian ties.

Maybe it was meant to be,who knows?! But I definitely never expected my life to take me to the source: NORGE. But here I am, making the transition from Little Norway to "big" Norway.

So there's the title for ya. It's not a typo and I wasn't trying to say little TOO big! (Although more and more I am feeling how big our world really is!)
