Still hectic...

....but I have come to the conclusion that this is the way 'I like it' (aha aha)

So, small update on life in Oslo

Emily has lost tooth number six (I have almost lost count ;) and is getting more and more detached from her mother as she is getting so sick of me nagging all the time, hehe. The comments that some days come out of my sweet little girl. Well, we have fun most of the time... but she sometimes argues that she wants to go live with her grandmother.. hihi =) That's parenthood for you! 

A small anecdote: Just before the weekend Emily came home after a Christmas workshop at school. Stars in her eyes; "mummy I made you a Christmas calender, so you also can open gifts" My hart is melting and I am hugging her and saying she is the sweetest kid ever. Then she adds a small 'but': "Well, I only got to make two because the last one took so much time. But you can open today and tomorrow" Hihi... she is still the sweetest little kid ever =D

School for Emily is going nicely along, looking fwd to the Christmas holidays though =) That we will spend at mums house.

After 1 and a half year Emily is giving up ballet, I am a bit sad about that... But she has to be able to decide a bit for herself (oh, but she is soooo cute dancing... buhuuu!) Well, she is all set to play a moose in a theater of snow white instead. They are two moose in the play, and she even got a line to say, hehe. Violin classes are going along nicely, she is now able to play a small tune together with here teacher and knows some theory too. In a snap she will pass me in music knowledge, maybe she can teach me later ;) Every time a friend comes by she tries to teach them music, hehe...  They are quite interested and sweet =D

Well... my education is coming along to, can't believe that I might get done this spring... I certainly hope so! But right now I have become a bit exhausted and I lack inspiration to get into the bachelors paper I need to write... I had some good ideas, but they don't really sound good anymore... Well, Christmas will bring me gifts, maybe also in the sense of inspiration =)

Work is nice, got a permanent work contract where I have been working for a while... which is nice in case any of me or Emily get sick. It is half time, as I need time to study ;) Well, and the freedom to work more when I can and a bit less in times of exams... A perfect place of employment, and also good colleges =)

I still dream about getting around to Tango lessons. My new years resolution will be to get into this parent group that exchange babysitter help in organized settings... Then mummy will get around to be a Tango babe =) 

I am thinking about finding a better place to live some time before next autumn. It would be a dream to find something close to here, as it is nice to feel safe. And we are getting to know people around.... Reality might not have it that way, but it remains to see =) Well, knowing myself it might just take a bit more time, but I have at least started keeping my eyes open... and wondering if I should sniff around on getting a price on this place to =) My boss thought I should move to Drammen... Well, not quite there yet (hehe, you got to know the place to know what I mean, it's  a town close to Oslo ;) ...and come spring I will also have to start looking for more relevant work, might just be to much to start to buy an apartment also...

Hmm,... this became more a future hopes and aspirations then an update on what is... well, guess I am thinking a bit about our future these days. Good to know I still have it in me to make goals and plans ahead of time. 

Well, for once I can belong ;

The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.
