Yesterday we had some great news. I will get the travel permit within a week or so! This means that we were able to expedite the case, something that we had more or less given up hope of.
So friends and family in Sweden, we will see you soon!
Today we are moving back up to Lompoc, after about three weeks in Pasadena. So anyone that wants to call, you know the number.
I hope the summer is treating all of you well!

Short update
The first week here in Pasadena has been pretty low key since we both managed to catch a not so nice stomach bug, buy we are now up and about again. It's very sunny and warm down here. I'm thinking of taking a drive to Malibu over the day.
Still no definite news on the travel permit but we are going to the immigration office on Tuesday. Hopefully we are able to expedite the case.
Next Friday it's Midsommarafton (Midsummer's Eve), and we will celebrate that here with the traditional pickled herring, and hopefully new potatoes. We will also have a traditional American bbq with hamburgers and all so people don't have to go home hungry, since neither Autumn nor I think that the pickled herring will be a grand slam.
"Ask a Swede what the most important holiday of the year is and Midsummer will come up as often as Christmas. Get older Swedes talking and their eyes will well up as they reminisce about community spirit, songs, barn dancing and the mystical atmosphere surrounding the Midsummer gatherings of their youth. Sure, there was a lot of drinking, fistfights and frolicking, but everyone shook hands in the end."
