Don't Overthink it!

We’re working hard in the Kline household to make sure we meet all of our goals for the big move. Right now the goals are to pack up as much of the stuff that is staying in America so it can go back to Great Falls any time a family member comes over and to get our kitchen remodel done. So far we’ve made progress in both areas, but like everything it is taking longer than I had hoped. The kitchen is almost entirely sheet rocked and the counters are prepped so we can lay down the marble. This weekend’s goal is to get started on perphataping and by the grace of god finish it so that we can get the counters in so that I can get my sink back!

Don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining, actually having the home remodeling projects has helped keep my mind busy and right now I’m finding that idle time means time to think about the hugeness of what we are doing over the next few months. My good friend Jill asked me today if I’m freaking out and actually I’m not. There is so much going on that I am just taking it a week or a day at a time. Setting small goals is an attainable feat. Figuring out what happens once we get to Norway is just too much for my brain right now. So I am focusing on “right now” and if my mind wanders to the future I am trying to only focus on the good. For instance being a stay at home Mom or seeing Europe. I can figure out how to take my kid to the Dr and where I’m going to buy a new TV once I get there. Those are really the things that stress me out so I am choosing or trying to not think about them until reality hits me in the face.

Now finding an international moving company is another topic and instead of stressing out too much about that one, I’ve turned it over to Jeff for now. For some reasons these companies don’t like to call you back, I’m guessing they are busy, but come on I’ve got a move to plan. Ok no stress, Jeff will figure it out!
