IT`S ON !!!!!

English version of todays post

This is what 2018 will be for me;

The year I run half marathon in under two hours

 Last time I ran at 2,03

The year I complete the Bergen mountain marathon

Never tried it before

The year I finish my second novel

Finished my first in 2009, but never got published – but I wont give up!

The year we move into my boyfriends house

Does not feel wrong to drink wine with my boyfriend to this view 🙂

The year I drop under 30 in handicap

went from 54 to 31 last year…

The year I exercise even more than last year

did good most of last year, bur finished horribly

Yep, it is going to be yet another ice swimming year!

 

I went for a swim every week in the ice-bade season; August to May – not the summer months, those are for wimps 🙂

2018 is the year that I am going to :

eat healthier, have more fun, love more, spend more time with my familie and kids, dance more, laugh more, sing more, travel, enjoy nature, enjoy my boyfriend, enjoy life, celebrate a big day!! 50!!! (yes I am hiding it in here so only the most lojal readers can read it 🙂 spend more time with friends, ski, play golf, go for walks, maybe hunt? climb new mountains, challenge my self more, contribute to a good work environment, not start to smoke, drink wine ( but not to much) be honest, be nice, be myself….

Is this New Years resolutions?

No this is plans! Plans that gives me something to strive fore, that gives me goals and makes it easier to organize my life.

Do I achieve all my goals?

NOPE…..but I do my very best….

And I never expect more from my self!!!

I wish you all a wonderful week

remember; weekend is not far away!!

❤ ❤ ❤

and the «boys»

Who prepare in different ways…

 

make up mirrors, divas for one day, laughter and singing

To be on the stage for the first time in

GRIEGHALLEN!!!!

dress rehearsal with a anxious and a bit irritated conductor 🙂

She just wants us to do our best

….she keeps everything together

after all this is her big plan being fulfilled…

And lucky us get to be a part of it!!

My boyfriend is rehearsing over and over again

he is so nervous about his big solo number

so am I 😉

And then the audience is here…

we are backstage warming up

 

So excited

so nervous

Will it be a good performance?

In we go….

and the curtain goes up…..

OMG WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!!!!!

the audience is ecstatic

the songs sits just right tonight

and the band is great

All the soloists performances are the best ever

2 hours goes by so quickly

standing ovations

and then it is over….

We want to go back in!!

Sing more

But it is over…

Out to meet the audience in the foyer

Thank you so much to all of you that came and supported us

You made our night!!

We hope and believe you also had a great time.

Then we drank champagne

and partied into the night..

 

THANK YOU SO MUCH

OUR WONDERFUL CONDUCTOR

FOR THIS FANTSTIC JOURNEY

We have been preparing for a long time

Looking forward to it

dreading it…..

We know its crazy

We know that some think we are in over our heads

But we belive!!!

We know we can do it

We KNOW its going to be a huge success!!!

Why is it only the stars that get to sing on the big stages?

Why does it have to be celebrities to draw a big audience?

Why cant we sing at the biggest concert hall in Bergen?

OF COURSE WE CAN!!

Grieghallen is booked

The repertory is set

The success is ordered!

But that depends of YOU of course

You HAVE to come!

We promise you a great concert

a crazy and fun conductor!!

Fabulous soloists!

We may not have any well known names on our lists, but just wait till you hear our soloists!!

And my boyfriend is one of them  ❤ ❤ ❤

Some of the songs we are going to sing;  Anthem from the musical «Chess», The outcast from the musical»the hunchback of Notre Dam» , Fix you by Coldplay, Make you feel my love by Bob Dylan, Kyrie by Mr, mister, From a distance, Can you feel the love tonight , Can you hear the people sing and many more…..

Dont miss it!!!!

It will be talked about for a long time…

we got a lot of sponsoring!

But we definitely need more!

All the money goes to Kirkens bymisjonen´s ( the city church) very important work for the weak in our society

So get your wallet out

Either to by tickets for the concert

or maybe to sponsor this fabulous initiativ from our dear conductor

Or maybe both 🙂

You can buy tickets from me

Or at the Ticketmaster

Most important is to get tickets before we´re sold out!

I EXPECT TO SEE YOU THERE!

CAN YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE SING???

YES!!!! AT GRIEGHALLEN – THE 4th of NOVEMBER!!!!!!

 

WHAT A WOMAN!!!

Todays post in English

She is a turbo

A firework

a bundle of energy

Like sunshine

wild and untamed

One who sometimes needs to be held back a bit

put the brakes on

She has 10000000000 ideas

She wants to do all

so many plans

And she succeeds with most of them

I`ve known her for 5 years now

After many years living in the east of Norway

She finally came back to Bergen

She hadn’t been here for long when she thought:

«I am a conductor!

«I need a choir»

And of course my choir will have a Christmas concert….

So she called her friends in Eidsvåg church and booked the church for the concert

«Do you have a choir» they asked…

«No but I will by Christmas» she answered…

After all it Christmas was 5 months away…

She got the choir

The first rehearsal there was 12

At the concert we were 50

This was the beginning of  «benedictinerne»

(Named after our dear conductor)

Today 5 years later we are 125!

I started in the choir a month in

And have never regretted it

I found friends for life..

And I found the love of my life

 

❤ ❤ ❤

Who happens to be the conductors brother as well

So now she is my sister in law

Lucky me 🙂

But back to the conductor

She doesn’t do anything halfway

She puts 110%  into everything she does

She almost starts a movement when she discovers something new…

Like when she started kayaking

She joined the local kayaking club and invited friends and choir to join

And she encourage people to join her on the water almost daily

not once in a while….

She also got great deals for everyone who wanted to join the club

And the club can thank her for allot of new members that year…

And then there was hiking in the mountain

Every Sunday she waited for people at bottom of the mountain – and encourage everybody in the choir to join her….facebook updates every week

A lot of members can thank her for weight loss and better physics…

She always have something going on

Always busy

never says no

Her dream was a choir in Bergen

Now we are the biggest one in Hordaland

The goal is reached….(?)

Noooooo

She just adjust the finish line

Christmas and summer concert in the church is just fine…..

But now she wants to conquer the main concert hall in Bergen

GRIEGHALLEN….

She does the same now

Books Grieghallen

«Does she have enough audience?» some ask

«Does she have the founding?» others wonder

«No problem» she says

«I`ll fix» she replies

All the money goes to charity

«No one can help everyone – but everyone can help some» is her motto..

(I actually think she has enough energy to try to help everyone..)

So please buy a ticket to our concert if you are in Bergen the 4th of November

 

We promises a great show

With fantastic songs like:

Fix You

The Outcast

Can you feel the love tonight

Anthem

and many more…..

You get 3 things in one;

1. You get to hear beautiful songs

2. You support a good cause

3. And you get to enjoy our fantastic conductor

SEE YOU 4th of NOVEMBER IN GRIEGHALLEN

❤ ❤ ❤
