Oh where, Oh where should our little home be?


well, so far we are still undecided, but we are leaning toward Oregon.  It is so hard for us because I feel like we are Canadians. That is weird to say, but it is true. We met here, we live here, we have a Canadian baby.  I honestly do not feel American anymore and I do not feel Norwegian, so I feel like I have identified myself as Canadian.  The thought of leaving here scares me. I love the snow, I love the lake, I love the people. But I love family more and when it comes down to it that is what matters. Our little family and my family in Oregon. I think for us as a family Oregon would give us better family time. Although there is nothing to do in my small coastal town, except go and watch the traffic light change ( a joke in our town ), there is the Ocean and it is beautiful. I do feel like it is a stepping stone going to Oregon and I know that it will not be our permeant place - I really think God has something else for us in the future. Being close to my family is very important right now since my dad is no longer around I feel like we should support my mom and be there for her. 
The only thing I do worry about is that the firm ( in North Bend ) can not guarantee Magnus a job, so it will be by faith that we go down there.  
So for now I am going to take every day as a blessing and enjoy our house on the lake ( which we will probably never get a chance like this again ) and soak in God's amazing blessings.
