What an eventfull summer!

This summer has really been eventful! Lista Scout Jamboree was a complete success. I was promoted to ambassador to my area because the original ambassador was unable to make it due to death in the family(i think).

Well, I don't know why they chose to ask me. Maybe I was the final resort, but I think I did well. I got positive feedback anyway. Yay!

My small scoutgroup got a lot of attention. The four of us made it into 3 newspapers: the jamboree-paper, the local newspaper at Lista and Vårt Land, a nation wide newspaper.

The cause of this: out windmill. So it pays to plan and execute properly. And we bathe in fame! We love to know that everyone there knew who we were.

Then I got married! I know, ME, who knew??? It was great! A little bit anxious in the church though. Kept fiddling with my cufflinks.

The photo-shoot was like all photo-sessions, kinda dull, painful and exciting. BIG thanx to Eli-Karin who took great shots of us! Can't wait to get them!

As well as anything, the party was great too! As we were really excited and kinda "distant" as we plowed trough it. The time went really fast and the party was over far too soon! But it was excellent!!! Really! So great to see everyone that came to have fun with us. We really had too little time to talk with everyone, and some might have been harder to sit down with and strike up a conversation since we had not seen them in so long. (This being my fault btw.)

Newly wed and happy we went on our first honeymoon! Längsjö Camping seems to be our spot for camping. Nice location and great service! They even got us a cake! Cool. It had a marzipan mouse on it - AND it was blue! Tasted great too.

Home again we worked for a week before embarking on our second honeymoon to Fuengirola, Spain. Our friends Ove and Eli-Karin was to be married there, and without further ado they were. Linda was best woman to Eli-Karin and made everyone laugh and cry with her touching speech. The local resturant food was crap, but we had a great time there anyway. Some great partying (thanx to Putte and Lisbeth, shhhh....!)

I tried out belly surfing. I got some beating from the waves and I bet there is some water missing in the Mediterranean sea. It was great fun though!

I bought myself a new scateboard too, an Element board. The old-school kind, with soft wheels and don't have a usable nose. (Like the one used in "Gleaming the Cube" aka "Skate or Die".) I actually use it as transportation to work some days. It's really a smooth ride. And not so noisy as "modern" boards with hard wheels. It is great exercise too! Real fun!

As we came home, we found my sister, Ingvild, over-pregnant. 10 days later she gave birth to Leon Moss. I'm an UNCLE! Wow! Well, I was bafore too, but trough Linda by the wedding. I am soooo proud and happy!

As for my future prospects, I am taking (at least) a year pause from school. I plan to work as much as I can, or get a fulltime job. The right job might make me take a longer pause than a year, but I AM GOING TO FINNISH SCHOOL - if anyone wonders. I'm just a bit sick of math at the moment.

I also have a long-term plan to persuade Linda into purchasing more tec-items like graphic processors. Wonder how to?...
