Cha-, cha-, cha-, changes ...

Early this year I decided to become a stay-at-home-mom for a while, while I was winding down from too much work and excitement. It had come as a great shock to me when I came home from a long theater project, that I felt like I was coming home to a house of strangers. I felt like I had to get to know Már and the kids from scratch, it didn't feel good. So I took a break, I stayed at home, took care of the home, the kids, got everything back on track and the way I wanted it ... I also took the time to rethink my priorities in life and after these months of stopping and reflecting on myself and my life, I have decided to take a dramatic turn in life. I'm going to change professions!

I am applying to become an air traffic controller, if I fit the criteria and am accepted to the job, I'll start by taking a course in February, my training then starts in the fall, and I'll get my first rights a year later. I'm really excited about this decision and am really keeping my fingers crossed for the next few weeks.

Tomorrow a friend of mine, who is an air traffic controller, is going to let me watch him at work for a part of his shift, I can't wait!
