blessed

Matt & I have always shared the dream to live abroad. For the record, we love the great state of Texas and will always consider it home. But the world is simply too big and exciting to stay put. It’s time to explore.

Why Norway? The answer is easy. Matt works for a Norwegian company. It made the most sense to use his career as our avenue to make our dreams and desires a reality - to live in the middle of a vibrant city with efficient public transportation, to have hiking, biking, and skiing just a train ride away, and the ability to, just on a whim, hop on a plane to travel around Europe.

We are blessed to be given this once in a lifetime opportunity and even more blessed to have people in our lives who have given us so much support and love throughout this entire process.

 And with most of our belongings going into storage, we are on our way with a few suitcases and the rest of our necessities to meet us down the road. ready. set. go!
Our entire lives are in that truck - including my passport...
bye house!
