I'll be using . . . g a f f to both keep track of the new life and keep the world informed.

Nina was about to finish her education and i, well, i was just looking forward to the changes ahead.

Things as always took a bit longer than expected, but halfway through march, Nina got a job offered. Yay! Moving abroad, starting a new life. Euphoria! Job details would follow early april. April went, may came. No news, nothing. We started getting a bit worried, would it all fall through? In the end not the dream job she wanted? Not moving abroad? And 'because we would be moving soon', I turned down a nice contracting job-offer too.

May-June: more of the same, getting even more worried. Despite our enquiries, no concrete answers, no news, more waiting, more boredom, more lack of motivation, even depressed feelings.

Then i got an email, asking whether or not i'd be interested working for a company i've done a few odd jobs for in the past. Starting working again felt good: I've got something to do again!

And just as we started to wonder if Nina should start job hunting again, we got the news we've been waiting for: 1 september Nina starts in Stavanger, Norway! YES, all worries we had, all negative feelings, all gone.

It's all coming together: We're feeling good now, looking forward to moving; looking forward to start a new life!
