Farewell Norway...Hello DC!!!




First let me apologize for not keeping up with my blog!!! Things have been hectic. Troy and I are moving back to the states. Troy will play for DC United again! We are both very sad to leave our friends in Norway, however we are very please to be coming back to the states. It is a great opportunity for Troy and Jackson will now get to live closer to all his family. I will be joining the working force, so right now I am currently looking for a solid, educational daycare. Decisions, decisions, decisions... Oh the things you do to make sure you child has the best!!! I suppose this is the first of many.
