As you may know, I recently married Kim, the most wonderful and beautiful woman who I met at the MVP Summit in 2007. Recently she started her own blog... Yes, if you're interested what an American woman does in Holland or what I do in my off-line life, then click here: Kim's Journal...

PS: don't believe everything she tells you about me. I deny everything... ;)

On November 17, 2007, Kim and I got married in Sumner, WA., USA. It was a wonderful day! Thanks to all the family and friends. My sister was the only one from Holland and was a bridesmaid. Here's an unofficial photo of Kim and me:

After the wedding we had some time off but after Thanksgiving we needed to pack a lot of things for our trip back to Holland.

With the maximum amount of suitcases we eventually arrived at Sea-Tac airport and were on our way to Amsterdam with a layover in Detroit. The flight to Detroit Metro Airport went fast and the plane arrived 50 minutes earlier than scheduled. That gave us some time to have a quick snack at McDonalds before boarding the plane to Amsterdam.

The plane in Detroit had to wait to take off because otherwise it would arrive too early at Schiphol, Amsterdam, and some people would not be awake then... ;)

The flight was uneventful until the last 15 minutes. Because of the strong wind the plane made some strange movements and some people were looking green, including Kim, when the plane finally touched down at Schiphol.

Now we have to try to get a resident permit for Kim to stay in Holland. Back to work and showing Kim a few things of Holland too. Yesterday we went to Amsterdam and visited the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam. Many things to do at home and lots more things to see and visit in the future. For now... back to work...

Microsoft MVP (again!) and I feel great! Let's get married...

Little did Sean O’Driscoll know when he made this video: "Video from the Past... I Feel Great!!"? Well, I was MVP and I have just been re-awarded again on October 1st. It was the beginning of this year when Cathy asked me to have dinner with her sister, Kim, when I was at the Microsoft MVP Summit in March, 2007! Kim lives in the Seattle area and it was probably nice to meet her, she thought... meeting a MVP from Holland. On the last day of the Summit, March 15th, we met and had a wonderful dinner and time at the Seattle Space Needle:

And time flies by when you're having fun. We had a great time!. It took being an MVP and attending the MVP Summit to meet my (future) wife! To make a short story short, after all the time difference between Seattle and Holland is nine hours, we're getting married on November 17th, 2007, in Sumner, WA., at The Hansen Place at six o'clock in the evening. After the wedding Kim and I will be living in Holland. But we both will be back at the next Summit in 2008!
