On the verge


I did not know that one could actually spam one's own blog, but in these last days this is exactly what I have been doing. Why? In one week I will finish up at the university, and being that I am on time with the essay writing I have thrown much of my spare time and effort into making this blog. What for exactly? After all, if you want to make a good blog it should firstly have purpose. So, what is the purpose of this blog?

Well, the reason I originally established a blog was so that I could process some big changes in my life. More precisely, my first blog was started the week after we received my husband's denied visa in Norway. This was traumatic because he suddenly had three weeks to leave, and also because he (or rather we) had 20.000 kilometers to fly back to his country. That summer last year was a busy time arranging plane tickets, packing up life, and leaving family, friends, colleagues and plans. However, since then, life here on the other side of the world has calmed down a great deal, and my husband and I are thankful for the peaceful circumstances we find ourselves in now. Hence, my original blog also got quiet, and so still that I actually put it to rest.

I am therefore surprised about my sudden outburst in blogging activity lately! Though, I suspect it might be linked my desire to 'tell our story' as we again attempt to apply for residency. Tomorrow is the planned 'big day' for handing in my residency. It seems fitting in a way, as we sign our residency application tonight, that it is Valentines day. Not because paperwork has such a fragrance of romance about it, but because I recently read more about who Valentine was. Valentinus was a man who was arrested and put in jail for marrying Christian couples. What a decent dude! Anyway, here goes the application... I'll keep you posted!!
