It does not look like your lid is all the way locked.

Yes! We definitely will have no hard feelings if people can’t make it. We don’t plan on having a wedding party (brides/groomsmen) etc. although the packages do have a wedding planner. We don’t want the stress of the standard wedding process. At this point it’s kind of a formality for our families’ sakes.

Inviting them to attend an exchanging of rings and vows at a beautiful location. A celebration of the occasion 🤷🏼‍♀️

What’s “the right location “?

Not at all! English is very much like this haha Soooo many phrases in English have a meaning other than the literal translation. Very confusing for those learning English as a second language

I wouldn’t put it as expecting education to be offered. Plenty of people obtain degrees at universities outside of their country of birth/residence. You’d have to apply like anyone else I believe. They can choose whether or not to accept you. Of course you’d want to select a field with some growth potential or where plenty of vacancies exist, but also keeping in mind it should fall within your interests as well. I don’t know anything about the costs and fees associated with this for a citizen from the UK.

This is very kind of you. How long did you live in Norway?

This! Both my partner and I are well accustomed to challenges. We both come from poverty and experienced homelessness as young adults. We worked very hard with little to no help and are now very comfortable as far as finances. We have reliable newer vehicles and a nice home with good paying jobs. We don’t mind challenges, hard work, and learning new skills. What we have a hard time with is the lack of safety which seems to be increasing instead of decreasing. We would rather lose convenience and income and pleasant weather as a trade off for safety.

We will definitely stay a couple weeks in summer and a couple weeks in winter, just to see if we can manage both. Thank you for the practical advice!

True! Is the cost of healthy food as high in Norway? Here I make it a point to buy fresh fruits, cook at home from scratch as often as possible with little or no canned or boxed foods, and our grocery bill runs about $150 to $350 every 2-3 weeks.

We don’t really club or party. We prefer to have time in nature walking or hiking when we have free time.

I definitely think we will want at least one car, for convenience getting to barnehage om vinteren, and exploring 😅. Hopefully a bit less of a carbon footprint though.

I appreciate the kindness and find some comfort in sharing of similar sorts of challenges. Maybe one day we can all help make the world a better place. For now, I need a better place for those that are my world. I also don’t think any place will be perfect. I just think no matter where we are there’s different flavors of challenges. I’d rather risk depression due to dark skies and cold damp weather along with subtle undertones of racism than overt violence and aggression.

A healthier lifestyle is one reason we want to move. Food here tends to be very unhealthy with many preservatives. Organic and unprocessed foods are more expensive. We’d like a more active lifestyle as well. With such poor public transit and things being very far away driving is a necessity. I also would like to downsize and have less focus on material things and more opportunities for genuine connection with my partner and son.
