Happy for you! Beautiful name.

Years ago lab I worked at had a visiting scientist from Norway named Kari. What I remember most about her I learned from a friend, Linda, also a visiting from Chicago, who shared a house with her for 3 months and thus hung out when not working. Linda told stories about how they'd be out hiking and if Kari became too warm, she'd just whip off her top and jeans and hike in her panties. When Linda told her she couldn't do that in a public and could be arrested, Kari just couldn't understand why not. Evidently Norwegians have an entirely different attitude than Midwesterners when it comes to wearing clothes. lol
