12 years later and multiplied by 5!!

Here I go again! It’s been 12 years since I’ve posted anything. Life has been busy, exciting, exhausting and full of love!! Here are the highlights!


2013: Living the farm life in Bergen up at Baugtveit with Isra


2014: preparing to move back to Colorado with Isra and we made the move in December


2015: We were in Colorado, renting a unique house down the street from my parents. We were engaged in February and married March 12. Isra got his green card and a job translating at a company called SDL. I was trying to start a company called “CrayonCash”, trying to raise money for schools. We met our friends also from Spain, Jonny and Maria.


2016: We continued living the good life. Paying, traveling and working. I accepted a job at Jewish Family Services, working with refugee kids as a school based therapist. I worked there A’s an intern in grad school and it was very fun to be back. 


2017: A big year!! I got my license as a licensed Professional Counselor. We purchased our first house in Boulder, fixed it up a bit and moved in…just in time to find out we were pregnant with our first baby! 


2018: Ingrid was born in March! Suddenly, life became a whole different kind of busy. I realized I was crazy to think I’d keep working in Denver (an hour away), and I started my own private practice, working part time with clients. 


2019: We were enjoying our time as parents, loving sweet Ingrid and our beautiful house. We announced our second pregnancy, with a due date of February 16, 2020.


2020: Mathilde was born one week late in the end of February. Just before Covid came. We had a quiet and calm time together at home as a family of 4. We also welcomed our cousin, Benjamin!!


2021: We had SO much fun playing with Ben almost every day! I kept working and opened my office, seeing people in person and remotely.


2022: Isra got a new job at Amazon Web Services as a project manager. We were all very proud! We finally got to travel again and went to Spain and Norway. Kari had another baby, Anna!!!


2023: More fun playing in Boulder with the kids and cousins! We announced our 3rd pregnancy!!! This time a boy due in February! Kari and Cody moved to Norway! Ingrid started Kindergarten at a wonderful school!


2024: Teodor Erik (Teo) arrived!! Life with 3 babies felt like having 20! The house was filled with so much love, noise and mess!!
