It is official! We have spent two years of our lives in Denmark!! Two whole years....what a hell of an experience. I sometimes get sad (and I told this to Mary, Jason and Myra while they were here) when I watch our guests faces of excitement and interest of things we are showing them, because I miss that things here are no longer "new" to me. I miss falling in love with the differences that Denmark has shown us and given us. That all being said, I wouldn't trade where my heart is now for the world. How incredibly lucky are we both, that in a mere 2 years Denmark has become such a comfortable and familiar place. While I gripe that I am sad that I don't get that "new" feeling anymore, I LOVE LOVE LOVE that we have embedded ourselves in a culture as far as we have. And you know what the best part of it is? That Michael and I have gotten the opportunity do it together. Not only live abroad together, but learn the culture together, make new friends together, travel the country together, and even learn the language together. We certainly don't take any of it for granted. Though, I could do without the high taxes and the lack of sun in the winter!! ;o)Things are getting back to normal here, well at least for a bit. Michael is heading back to Japan the day after my birthday. Only for a short 3 days. We had tossed around the idea of me meeting him there, but in the end decided to send him for a short trip, rather then stretch it out. After all, Tokyo is soooo 2006! Been there Done that. Kidding Kidding. One of these trips I'm sure I'll make it back with him.

Ok miss world traveler, when you get to sat "Tokoyo is sooo 2006" that just isn't right!!! =)
It seems like the two years have gone by fast, but in the same sense it seems like YEARS ago that you were in Allen!
Sorry I haven't commented in awhile, I still jump on and read your blog!
Hi Nichole! I got your email and will be writing you back tonight (but of course, you are most likely asleep right now!!) So it will be there for you when you wake up on Tuesday!
Take care!
Kelli
Nichole, I always knew that you wanted to travel and see the world. You expressed that many times when you were younger. When you think about all of the places you have been, it must be a surreal feeling. It is wonderful that you enjoy your life. Hugs, Sharon
Tillykke med de 2 år!
enjoy it; it's a very cool country w/ an energy, history and philosophy all its own. in my mind, any country where people wear denim fabulously, eat lots of bread, cheese, potatoes, drink good beer and are ardent environmentalists - they're cool. I had a great time and hope to visit again.
