My ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!
I made it! Woo Hoo... I. MADE.IT. You would really have to know me, to know what a
huge feat it is....
I have come along way baby.... I remember how EXCITED I was when I received my first comment... (I was wondering how in the heck anyone could find me .... & why wold they want to?) First time I showed up on someones reader.... my first follower....
and my posts? ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz (OK, maybe they still are...oh well....) but I was posting about Norwegian cake mixes & the tractor traffic on my way to work....
Just wanted to say THANK YOU... to all of you who read AMERICAN in NORWAY... it means a lot to me...
Thank you to all of my bloggy friends that I have made this year... thank you for being there to listen to me GO ON & ON & ON about my kids... listen to me bitch about everything under the sun... to offer support when I was going through the hospital crisis last year....
thanks for just being there.... & being NICE... I appreciate it more than you know...
Thank you for waiting for me to finish all of those stories that I have promised, but have yet to get around to.... like all of my cruise ship HORROR stories... my stint in the Turkish hospital... the Texan/Norwegian Ho Down which was my wedding.... (this WILL be the year... PINKY PROMISE!)
I would love to say I was going to host a giant big giveaway... so do something really special... but lets face it... I am just not that organized... I am lucky if I remember to pick Eva up from daycare...
I was thinking today I would do something I haven't done before.... I will let you ask me anything... Anything you you want to know but can't be bothered to search my blog for...today is the day....
(watch, NO ONE will ask anything.. & then I will look like a total TOOL.. hope you have my back bloggy buddies....)

Stopping by from SITS! Happy weekend!
Okay, why did you start blogging and why do you keep blogging?
(Okay I cheated some asked me that question but I will pay it forward to you.)
Why did you decide to raise your family in Norway instead of the US?
What was the toughest part of getting settled in Norway?
Questions.. um... so tell us more about that tractor traffic on the way to work?
What do you work with and how did you get your job? Are you fluent in Norwegian? How did you meet your husband?
What is the best part about living in Norway?
My questions are similar to the others.....
What's the hardest thing about being an American living in Norway?
Why did you choose to leave the U.S.?

If you were to advice me on what countries that would be "must see" what would you say?
Okay that's two but I am nosy!
Congrats!
My question: what jobs can you see your children doing in their future?
um....How many languages do you speak?....How do you like your fish?.....why orange? :-)
Have a beautiful day.

Questions ~
What did you study in college and do you plan on having any more children..Oh! And do you have any pets?
Have a great weekend and a wonderful memorial Day
Since I know the answers to a lot of these questions (insert air of superiority here ;) I'll ask, so after the kids are grown, do you think you and Bjorn will go back to the cruise lines?
I have just arrived in Oslo and missing my home land of Scotland:o(
However started reading your blog around 6 months before I came here. I used to work Cruise ships also and I get a big dose of Chicken Skin when I see all the ships down at Aker Bryke :o)
Will keep reading and enjoying your blog. Keep up the good work. Karen
congrats agian!
