mum's wedding

hi again my sweet friends!
i'm really lucky to have such lovely people in my life! :) my mum got married to Leo last weekend. the very small wedding was nice, calm and happy, and it was good to have some quality-time with my sister and brothers.
tomorrow i will have my driving licence test. i soooooo hope i will pass, because i need the licence to be able to drive to work this summer... fingers crossed, everybody!

summer is coming

hi all!

summer is almost here. nice, warm (15-20c) and sunny. makes people smile and talk more. suddenly life seems to be so much more interesting and happier. oh, and i smelled the first coming rain today! i've really missed that smell. freshness. purity. life.

i've had an extremely busy spring, full of activities and studying-related work. tiring but very teaching at the same time. and i like being busy... :)

alex met my parents a month ago, we both had a holiday in helsinki. :) we had a good time, i'll add some pics from there when i get some. we practiced some blacksmithing as well as spent most of the time running to different visits and dinners, lunches... and of course did some shopping. alex is a really good person to take shopping, he has style and patience...and is fun. :) maybe it's all in his lovely swedish genes?

my driving school, which i'm finally taking, is going well. should have a licence in two or tree weeks...exciting! (alex, tell your brother to keep the porshe for a while...)

soon i'll move to helsinki for the summer. i can't wait! even if teaching little immigrant children now is just lovely, i'm really looking forward to working in the UN association in Finland. with adults.

and in the autumn i should start writing my master's thesis. scary.

here are some pics from *vappu*, May Day...

so, dear friends,

alex and i spent our easter in helsinki and lohja. here we are doing some blacksmithing at my mom's workshop.


...and here are the final works of art... :)

for some strange reason alex enjoys making puzzles... finds it relaxing. i didn't really enjoy the idea in the beginning (isn't that boring?), but it was no too bad after all. i must be getting old. :)
