On Our Way to Norway
We did it! We have arrived in Norway and have jumped right into the rural Norwegian life. But the the miracles, albeit small, started at the SeaTac airport. When we arrived to check-in, they didn’t charge us for the overweight luggage that we were prepared to pay for: about a $450 savings! Then, thankfully all of our bags arrived and 2 of our 3 boxes (filled with books and home school supplies) were at the local post office. The 3rd box, after a hold up in customs, is on it’s way. Then, our friends Peter and Hege, who are now moving to Tacoma, WA after 8+ years of living in southern Norway, sold their car to us at a VERY affordable price. Thank you friends!!!
After a couple of days of overcoming jet-lag and setting up our house in Ål, we ventured up to the mountains to serve a wonderful family that runs a goat farm. This experience has been one-of-a-kind to say the least! More details to come soon.
As expected, Karalee and Alister have done an amazing job of adjusting to a new country with a strange language. The incredible beauty and friendly people make it all worth it.
