When we moved back here in November of 2006 our plan was to stay for two years, have some fun, do all in Denmark we didn't do in our first fifteen months, travel around and then see where the world would take us. We arrived with open minds and hearts to the possibility that yes, maybe we would leave before two years, maybe we would stay longer, maybe we would never leave, but we knew fate would guide us to whatever it was we were suppose to do.
This two year plan worked out beautifully with our perfect apartment choice. The woman who owns this apartment is living out of the country and will be returning in January. Our options at that point would be to move away from Denmark (with the help of the company) or not only find a new apartment (without a relocation agency this time) and move into it ourselves.... To find another home in the central location of Lyngby that we live in, would be near impossible. We would have to gamble and risk that our lives that we have come to love here, would be changed drastically.
As the next six months are starting to come into focus for us, our plans seem to be holding perfectly in place. For those of you that remember, because of our previous situation when moving here, we are completely prepared for anything life throws at us in changing plans very quickly. But for now, our plan remain. We will be coming home to Texas in January. The exact day will not be decided by us until December, but it will most likely be within the first two weeks.
Last time we moved away from Denmark we both felt our lives here weren't finished.
If we had to move tomorrow, I know we could already leave with our lives in Denmark feeling complete. I am certain, this will make leaving here much easier.
It is time to start winding down our Danish Life, yet again.
So, here we go.......six months and counting.

WOW! It is so nice to know that you will be returning to the LONE STAR STATE. Denmark will always be a special place for you both whether you are living there or not. You have a great deal of history together there. Personally, we are happy to have an excuse to return to the Allen Mall.
I probably shouldn't be feeling so sad that you'll be moving back since we've only met twice but I like that you are close by!
Also I feel bad for Kelli that now that she's finally moved here, you're planning to leave.
I hope we'll meet again before you leave and hope that you'll enjoy the next 6 months - that your lives in Denmark are not yet totally complete.
WOOOOOHOOOOOO!!! (sorry being a little selfish) Now you can come and visit!! (well not now, but soon!) Where in Texas, back to the allen/dallas area, or somewhrere else!!
Enjoy your time left. Take lots of pictures and do all of your favorite things (why do I make is sound like you are leaving tomorrow?)
I second Marianne...
we need to plan a day when I can come east, and you come west, and we meet at her place in Odense for the day!
I cannot believe you are really moving ... but I know I will treasure the next six months!!
Our tiny house can handle four visitors so you are all welcome to come visit us. Also, we'll be willing to come to either Sjælland or Jylland!
