If you know Tonny, you know he's always up for anything. This time "anything" meaning supporting his friend and recording a song with him. OCG, or John, as I like to call him (I'm not cool enough to call him OCG like the boys) is a serious artist and recorded already way back in Tanzania. Now his back with his new song Rafiki and it's featuring Tonny Love. The last chapter in this story is that the music video that was recorded just before our wedding is OUT!!!

What can I say?? Just so proud!
Time for a change has come in my life as well. Today is the last day that I work as an assistant and starting on monday I will officially be a "sales manager". Getting nervous... I'll keep you updated on how the first day goes.
First tough I have a nice weekend ahead of me. Today I get to jump on a train and ride it all the way to Espoo to see Katja and Aki. And OF COURSE Julianna. That baby girl has caught my heart. I'm so exited!!! I've even mostly forgotten that the reason for me to go to Espoo is the National Championships where I'll be judging... but who can think of something like gymnastics when there's a a little cutie waiting for me???

Hahaa.. Nice memories
I'm switching phones and was checking the video-clips from the old one.
This is something I wanted to share with all of you. A clip from the Tampereen Voimistelijat christmas party in 2008. The girls that I used to coach killed it in my opinnion. :D
Hope you enjoy!

Relaxing at the spa
Last year at work we had a competition of whose score-card is the best. Quite surprisingly I won and was awarded with a gift-certificate to a spa. Our spring was so hectic that we decided to push it to the fall -something nice to look forward to when the days start becoming shorter and shorter.
Last weekend we decided to go. For once there was no need to worry what to do and what not to do - the gift certificate gave us the opportunity to spend some serious money. Before hitting the spa though Katja, Aki and I took Daniel to Hoplop (a place for kids to go crazy and have some fun). The boy is so sweet, but you can see that he's not used to trying new things and hanging with other kids. It took him a while but in the end he was enjoying so bad. I even took some photos, but can't get the on this post now, so I'll share them later.
After Tonny finished his jobs for the day we rushed to Nokia, to the spa. After quickly dropping off our things into our room we dived in to a warm mud bath. Sitting there, I could really feel all the tension drifting away and my whole being began to relax. What a nice way to relax and forget about the busy weekdays. After the bath we both had an hour-long massage and facials (:P yes, even Tonny agreed to try it.. :D) So nice...
We went to enjoy some jacuzzi time and swim a bit before hitting the shower and running to the buffet dinner. It's so nice to get away for a bit... sometimes staying at home just doesn't relax you all the way, you end up cleaning and cooking etc. Even if it was just a one night stay in Nokia it made a huge difference. We were also able to sit down and relax for the first time since work and school started again. I'm still in awe how easy our marriage has been so far. It still seems like the whole relationship changed, not that it was stressfull before, but I do feel much more relaxed and at peace nowadays.

Wonderful Sunday + Tonny at the GYM
I'll be the first to admit that when it comes to my days off I'm crazy lazy. It's been like that since I was a kid - but maybe school 5 days a week, gymnastics 24 hours a week, plus music stuff couple of hours just meant that when I got the chance I would rather not do anything.
This fall though is the first time probably for 24 years that I actually can do stuff on my days or even nights off, because now there are more than ever. I only go to coach two times a week and even then just for 1,5 - 2 hours. So, that's why planning to join a gym a month ago about I finally did it. I've been quite good about it as well - I go 2-4 times a week - depending on my other schedule. But even so I have noticed that I have time remaining after that. Working out for an hour + shower and change - it doesn't even total to 2 hours (unless I feel lazy and stay in the sauna a bit longer than might be necessary). It is so nice to notice that I still have time to do what ever I want. I still suck quite alot in actually doing something but at least because I rest the nights during the week, at least a couple, then during weekend I don't feel exhausted.
Yesterday Tonny had his first experience of BodyPump! I loved the fact that he goes for it so full of energy and good spirit, while I would just feel completely scared, with the rest of the group. He did great, and I couldn't help but be very happy this morning when he was complaining that his muscles are hurrrrrrrrrrrrting - means that he really did get something out of it!
Anyways back to the original story. After the gym we were lucky enough to get Lotte to come over to our place. Just to hang. We ended up cooking a nice african meal, and I even got some katchumbari (no idea how to write - but I know how to say it = I can get it, and that's enough :D). And then just lazied on the sofa (we all went to the same bodypump) while watching the City marathon. Clueless enough for it to leave me feeling super rested and ready for the new week.

Muscle pain
It's been a while since I've posted anything... It seems that my life has become deadly busy again - booking both weeks and weekends. I am looking forward for next weekend, since the schedule is completely empty, at least for now. :D
As I told you few weeks back I've joined a gym. And to be completely honest I could not be more proud of myself! I've actually started to look forward to the daily dose of exercisining as long as I don't have anything else planned.
Yesterday I decided that I can not spend the whole day cleaning the house and watching tv - so when Tonny went to work I took the opportunity to get a ride to the center and went to Les Mills Body Pump class. The class was so nice and the teacher really made me push myself even further. And of course, I can totally feel it right now! And I LOVE IT!!! Maybe it's my crazy background as a gymnast but I really really love the pain in my muscles. It makes me feel that I really did something rather than just enjoying the class. Double-benefit! I can't wait for next sunday, when I get to go with Tonny. I hope he's gonna enjoy it too.
