I am married to a Norwegian and we have a daughter together who is 2 year old as I write this, she is half Norsk half American.
We have moved from Texas to Norway in the spring of 2009. I've been here many times and love it here, I look forward to living here, but a permanent move is still daunting to me. So much is different and I have a whole new culture and language to conquer.
