choice, chances and changes

TWO THOUSAND AND THIRTEEN
This is the year or a fresh start and new beginnings. For several reasons, 2012 just was not the best of years for me and for many personal reasons it was the year that made me realise it is time to make a change. My life was stuck in a vicious circle that I just could not get out of, I was too busy and never really got the time to enjoy the things in life that matters the most. I always felt as if I was in a boxing match trying to defend my corner and win the battle against the busy life. But somehow I never managed to find the balance and I kept firefighting in every avenue of my life.
So I wanted a fresh start and I decided that I after 14 years in UK it was time for me to return to Norway. So we put our house in Aberdeen on the market and started applying for work and the after a few months things started to fall into place and we were ready to make the move. On the 28th December we made the move, just in time for the new year. I was back in Tananger (a place just outside Stavanger), it is the place I grew up and a place filled with lots of happy memories. It is the place I wanted to take my children to get a feel for life in Norway.
By no means do I expect life in Norway to be a dance on roses and I do expect to “start” again after 14 years away, but it was the place I wanted to take my family and give us a new start, a new beginning.
So where is this blog post ending… well after 10 weeks in Norway, our house in Aberdeen has sold and the exchange completed back in February and in week 10 we received the keys for the house that we are going to make our new home, our new haven and our new place to create happy memories.
We are spending a couple of weeks doing some home improvements, mainly to the girls bedrooms in the first instance and then get settled and officially move into the new home. I am sure there will be several blog posts in the weeks ahead sharing images of our new home and especially the girls bedrooms where we have spent hours trying to create a girls dream room.
