Why and uh…why?
Wednesday, December 28th, 2005Norway…December…why? The un-edited, un-cut, un-scrippted blog of the Morri family vacation. This may, and probably will have a really bad sequal and an even scary three-qual.
The why: My wife, Aimee (pre Morris), went on a 2 week mission trip to Norway in the summer of 98′. Had a great time. Not to bad. But then God wanted her to come back. So in September of 1999 Aimee did a 15 month missions trip to Norway (Norge). God used her administrative talents and gifts to help further Gospel here in Norway. These 15 months both challenged and shaped Aimee and gave her an elnlarged heart for the Norwegian people.
Fastforward to 2004
Aimee and I did some dating and then got married. Then, it was a hot summer morning in August when Aimee awoke me from my sweet slumber. “Honey lets go to Norway” she said. With drule on my face I thought, “What is the shortest distance to sleep?” so I said “yes”, (Gentlemen the answer is always yes, unless it has something to do with shopping or weight) and fell back asleep. Have you heard of the internet? Well, apparantley when I am woken up and in a daze I am in complete denial about the exhistance of it, because when I finally woke up my wife had booked our flight.

You know a lot of things go through your head when you are less than a few hours from boarding a flight to Norway…in December. I had to grab a globe and point to it to show my wife where it was. And that on the globe it had white on it and that white is snow and snow is cold. I also thought, “how did I get myself into this?” and “Why didn’t she do missions in Tahiti? People in Tahiti need Jesus.” and “who let the dogs out?” I mean who really let those dogs out…
