Moving to Norway was never something I had in mind, not even in the back of it, until my husband (my fiancé back then) accepted a job offer from a company in Norway.
We had always dreamed of living outside of Malaysia, in search of better work-life balance, hoping for more travels and shared memories. But Norway, that felt like a whole different world.
It was a pretty hectic time for us. He had to fly to Norway while we were still in the middle of planning our wedding. Being in a long-distance relationship (with different time zones!) and planning a once-in-a-lifetime event….honestly, it was not easy at all.
After the wedding and everything that came with it, we are finally together again in our small and koselig little home in Norway. I thank God we got through it. Now, all that’s left is to enjoy the changing seasons from winter into spring.
It is still cold here. Well, it will probably be cold all year round.
But I’m learning to enjoy it, bit by bit.
