Hi all! Things are good. Lots of work. We like our new house. Yesterday someone crashed into a fire hydrant outside our office, the water must have sprayed around 15 meters up in the air.
I hope you are all doing well!

A photo
Last Saturday I went down to LA, with a few colleagues, to watch the US-Sweden football game. I'm adding a photo here. Not much to say. Sweden lost with 2-0. But it was fun to see some live sport.

Weekend at the new house
Ok, so it's been some time since my lost update. But here it is!
Things have been quite busy for us here for a while. I started my new job on the 3rd of December in Santa Maria. It's been good but a new job usually takes a lot of energy, and so does this one. It's an interesting place to work with a lot of things to learn. It's with a Swedish company and I am almost daily using Swedish at work, either in writing or speaking. There is around 12 of us at the office in Santa Maria but the company has about 200 employees in Scandinavia. The product we are selling is a Student Information System and I am working as a Developer/Application Systems Analyst.
The second thing that has happened is that we have moved in to our new house in Santa Maria. This means that I do not have to commute back and forth from Lompoc anymore, which is great! Our house is even withing walking/biking distance. This feels like a real luxury in California! This is our first real weekend in our new home and we are tinkering about getting things in order. It's an old house, built in the 1920s, with lots of character (which involves some quirks, but that is part of the character bit).
The third news is that Autumn has also started her new job. She is currently going through the training in Los Olivos but she will work out of Santa Maria. Her job will involve a bit of driving, but she will mostly be going to places in Santa Maria. She will be working for the Santa Barbara County Education with a project that involves helping families with newborn babies.
In short, there has been a lot of good change. We are very thankful for all this and for all the support from friends and family throughout this rather tumultuous year.
Pictures of the house will be posted in the near future. Oh, we do have a guest room now, so you will have a room of your own when you come visit!
