home sweet HOME

I have become the master of ripping wallpaper off... unfortunately my nails did not make it, but we'll just call it collateral damage - something that just had to be sacrificed. And they will grow back - I hope.

But it's Home - notice the capital H - and I could not be more happy. And because my I have a super brother and an amazing mother all the renovations will be done by the time I get home from work. How much better my life could be?

Oh yes, time to get some work done.. :D I'll post some pics of the new place as soon as its DONE.

Enjoy your Vappu celebrations!

Here we go...

internet, emails, messengers.. all ways to communicate, all becoming more and more important in our daily lives. so i decided to join this latest form of communicating, I guess it's time, especially since the concept of family is becoming more and more flexible in my world, and I want everyone in my new family to get to know me - and be posted on the news of our life, whether they are in Finland or all the way in Africa.

busy week this week. normal obligations, like work, or course, but then something major is happening as well. we are finally moving to our OWN apartment!!! anyone who lives in Finland knows that it's not such an easy thing to do, especially on your own, and i couldn't be more proud that after two years of hard work we finally managed to make it.. not a minute too early either - our goal was to be able to move in before the wedding - so after that we would be able to just relax, so now there's just a little over three months to get everything ready.

so now you're up to speed - stressed about moving, stressed about painting walls, and of course how could i forget - Tonny's application for no impediment is still somewhere between Finland and Tanzania... just can't wait for August when all the preparations are done and it's finally time to PARTY... :D
