Nina just received her residence permit in the mail this morning, so we're very excited and happy. This is awesome! :D http://blog.saustrup.net/2008/08/07/milestone-reached/ Updates are as usual few and far between, but a lot of stuff has been going on. Yesterday evening we finally got home, after one week of driving, visiting Russian family and dragging Nina's stuff back to Denmark. Nearly 4.000 km in car and probably something like 1.200 km by ... http://blog.saustrup.net/2008/07/14/sporadic-update-2/ Got back from the honeymoon - my skin lobsterliciously red from sunburn. Probably drove around 2.000 km on the bike. Uploaded over half of the photos to Flickr - just added the sweet rafting shots today.

Except the weather. The weather is completely out of our hands, ... http://blog.saustrup.net/2008/05/14/fingers-crossed/ No, we're not dead yet. Lots of things are happening these days, as we get closer and closer to the wedding. It's less than a week now, and there are still a few missing pieces of the puzzle but we're getting there. The first draft of our motorcycle honeymoon road trip ... http://blog.saustrup.net/2008/05/12/sporadic-update/ Nina sent me a link to an essay by Paul Graham about stuff and having too much of it. A very enjoyable read, and a big plus was the complete absence of the horrible expression simple living. I first realized the worthlessness of stuff when I lived in Italy for a ... http://blog.saustrup.net/2008/04/24/too-much-stuff/ Just wanted you all to know that Nina added a bunch of cute ninja and pirate sock puppets to her Etsy shop - they're dangerously cute! :-) You know you want them, so go get 'em! :-D http://blog.saustrup.net/2008/04/24/ninjas-pirates/
