Yesterday, when driving home from work, I checked through the five different channels on our car radio searching for something interesting, and two out of five played a Def Lepard song. Norway, 2012.
The night before yesterday I dreamt that the keys on my laptop computer were replaced with rotten cherry tomatoes. Writing suddenly became more of a sensory, physical thing. And quite messy, too.
Two impulses at once: One, to sit on a Paris café. The other, sending butterflies around in my tummy: Our home is being created, it's within reach, and in only six weeks our boxes will be packed and we'll move up there. It will be beautiful.
OH-SO-PROUD of him: My wonderful, brave, strong, kind, heroic, patient and mysterious husband. He works so hard. I must spoil him.
And in love, always, with those three whom I share my life with. I never knew it could be like this.
Photos below from some of this evening's activities.
Oh, and lastly: Who are you, anyway? I seem to have readers all over the world, and it makes me really curious.
Feel free to leave a note below!

I’ve found your blog trough dos family and I have to admit that you have a wonderful family and inspiring living. On one hand it reminds me of my family, because we also moved from the capital city on the country when kids ware born. Whish you all the best and lot of happiness in your new house! C

ReplyDeletehi! i'm renata, i've commented lots of times before, i am from a tiny country in south america called uruguay which is probably the nothing like many of you'd imagine of a country in south america, in fact much people say it's the most european country and that's probably true.
ReplyDeleteI started reading you because you follw my blog, though you never commented there and i don't know if you ever read it, but i love your stories and your country seems so nice, your kiddos are gorgeous and your home looks so warm! I just love family blogs and northern costumes are so appealing to me! Yesterday i baked kanelbullar...
Well that's all.

Hei Maria, jeg har fant bloggen viavia noen dager siden. Er syk i senga under juletreet og trenget litt å lese. Har brukt hele morgen i dag for å lese bloggen din fra begynnelsen! Jeg er Nederlandsk, men bor i Nord-Irland. Lenge siden leste jeg norsk for noen år in universitetet, men aldri avsluttet studiet, heller gjorde noet med norsk i det hele tatt, så glemte det meste. Det hjelper nok å begynne å lese norske blogg hele dagen! Elsker blogg med inspirerende photos, og enda mere når innlegg har inspirerende ord. Så, derfor.
