I am so sorry that I haven't posted anything for two weeks and a day. The start of living here in Norway hasn't been almost anything that I expected, I am sure my boyfriend also didn't think it would be this hard. My mind has mostly been on money and also waiting for the tax office to send me a reply letter to my application for living here. It has been very excruciating to know that a guarantee for money income is never certain. Also, I know that money is not that important of a thing in life but in a serious matter, it means almost everything to me right now. I can't properly apply for a job before I get the reply from the tax office and that means that I can't properly start my life together with my boyfriend. We would love to move out from where we live now but it is not going to be possible for a long time, at least now it seems like that. For now, the writing of this blog will be on hold because I can't seem to get a handle of this before I have my life more properly together. I hope you all understand but you can always ask how I am doing.

Pahoittelut, etten ole postannut mitään kahteen viikkoon ja yhteen päivään. Täällä elelemisen aloittelu on ollu huomattavasti haastavampaa mitä minä ja minun poikaystävä odotti. Minun ajatuksissa on enimmäkseen ollut raha ja verotoimiston vastauskirjeen odottelu mun maahan saapumiseen liittyen. Ajoittain on ollu haastavaa kun ei voi todellakaan tietää, tuleeko rahaa mistään vai ei. Myöskin tiedän, että raha ei ole niin tärkeä asia elämässä mutta tosi paikan tullen se on ainoa asia joka auttaisi. En voi kunnolla hakea työpaikkaa ennen kuin saan vastauksen verotoimistosta, Se tarkoittaa myös sitä ettei voida kunnolla aloittaa yhteistä elämää poikaystävän kanssa. Meistä olisi ihanaa muuttaa tästä nykyisestä asunnosta pois jossain vaiheessa, mutta se tulee olemaan vasta melko pitkän ajan päästä. Tästä eteenpäin pidän postaukset paussilla, koska en pysty ajattelemaan kunnolla edes jokapäiväistä elämää tällä hetkellä. Toivottavasti kaikki ymmärrätte, mutta voitte kysyä kuulumisia muutenkin.

Hello, my friends!
It has been 11 days since my last blog post and 4 days since my moving. I was super busy before the move and I needed some time to settle down here. Things have been very calm with my boyfriend and we have been having a lot of fun together, even though only on Wednesday we actually had a plan of what to do. On Monday I am gonna go to the tax office to get things done about my moving here because I needed way more papers than I thought and it all caught me by surprise. It is all okay though! Just wanted to let you all know that I will be continuing with updating this blog the best way I can, needed a bit of a breather in between everything. Now here, some pictures from our small trip to an old fort from Wednesday.

Thoughts and discovering
Good and eventful day to all of you.
Today I thought was the day that my sickness had been conquered but apparently it was not. Still I did manage to make myself look presentable for going out of the apartment that I have been just withering in since last Thursday. Damn flu taking my energy. I tried my best to cure my throat and general well being with a lot of Finrexin, Ibumax and being a lazy bum. Has worked well so far, let me tell you!
It is the 8th of March and it is exactly a week's time until this little lady will be cozing up in my boyfriend's nook and I don't have to be afraid of having to say teary eyed goodbyes before getting on the bus going to the airport. Even though it has always been a good sign that I've missed my significant other, at harder times it has been tearing my heart and soul apart. Countless hours I have spent crying like there was no tomorrow and watching my boyfriend trying to console me through our Skype calls. Yes, Skype is better than nothing but some days seeing his face broke me and my hello to him for the day was eyes filled with tears and I felt like such a horrible girlfriend for making him feel hopeless for not being able to take me in for a cuddle. That is no thing for me to feel like a bad girlfriend about because I am not afraid to show when I miss someone. I know I will spend many days, or even weeks, missing my dear mom, lovely family and friends but then I won't have to worry about saying goodbyes again to the man I have hoped to spend my life with for a good while now.
A good way for me to put my feelings aside sometimes has been music. I thoroughly enjoy finding new interesting and pleasant artists to add to my repertoire. Many times this hobby of mine has put my missing to the back of my brain for a bit and I have been sharing the songs I find with the people I think would like them. Usually I keep all the songs I find as my own information but now it is time to give you a glimpse of what I've been loving listening for the past couple of months.
I've been especially listening to the live version from the Spotify sessions because that is the version I heard first. Both are great and have very different atmospheres. (link to Spotify's live version)
An amazing find even though I have listened to Pyhimys before.
Well. What is a woman to do with that kind of a voice.
Definitely the sound of a woman and an amazingly powerful one that is!
A fun, cutesy song for that special someone.
Great melancholic mood in this song.
A good and honest rock song.
If you'd like to share your favourite songs with me, I would be interested to listen.
Toodles and take care!

Introduction and story time
Hello, good morning, and good evening.
My name is Reetta and I am 21-years-old. I am new to the world of blogging but I am going to give this a serious go. Firstly this blog is going to be about me moving to live in Norway with my boyfriend and my experiences I am going to gain from living in another country than the one I've always lived in. Secondly I am going to aim for a better lifestyle considering my health, fitness and general being. Hopefully you will enjoy my posts as much as I hope I will enjoy writing them!
The talk about moving to Norway started properly around the middle of November when I was really struggling with my job and didn't want to work there anymore. First we talked that the best time for me to move there would be in the beginning of July because that was originally when my work contract would have ended. Fortunately, but felt unfortunate at the moment, I was laid off on the last day of my trial time and as soon as I got told they didn't need my job effort anymore, I called my boyfriend crying that I got laid off but almost in the same sentence I managed to say that I would move there as soon as possible. Almost from the first day of being unemployed I started to plan the move to Norway with my boyfriend and we both were, and still are, very excited.
Now it is the 5th of March and on the 15th I will start living in Norway permanently. A year ago me and my boyfriend would not have ever thought we would be in this situation now but it seems like it was always meant to be this way. I am very excited to be sharing my life's ups and downs with whomever may read my blog.
Toodles and have a great day!
