Polttarit

Saturday morning I thought it’s going to be a totally ordinary day. We ( Heini and I ) planed on going to Annas place to listen to one song( for the wedding) and then meet with Minna to buy the pots for the wedding decoration. But when we arrived at Annas place there was no song to listen to but the 6 loveliest girls from whole wide Finland waiting for me. And the welcomed me with a song to MY OWN, SUPPER SURPRISE "Polttarit" party.
I never ever would have guessed that!
First challenge was to change in the "beautiful pink princes of the day", with pink tigts, pink shirt, white skirt and of COURSE a crown and a "valtikka" ( the stick that princesses, king etc. have)
Then the girls "make uped" me and they really did a good job with the water proved eyeliner ( It’s going to stay on my eyes till my wedding I guess... :)
Not kidding, I looked good!
I managed to get through the whole changing process and got "the award" (for every challenge there will be an award and in my case I got earrings, for every challenge that I did.
Next challenge was cosmic bowling and even though I didn’t win it was so much fun...*earrings*!
Then i was allowed to take this relaxing bobble both in a wellness center. 20min. massaged by bobbles...*earrings*
After that we brought back the movie that Antti and I rented the day before (but that was not a challenge)
The real challenge was eating Thai food. And 3 of the girls including me have been in Thailand before so they know what’s good...jummy ...and *earrings* again!
Then we went to the city and drank coffee and just told stories (well Heini did!.. oh man I love her! )
After that we visited a dance show from a christen dance school, it was there "spring program” and I really liked it...*earrings*
By that time I thought it cannot be anything else, we did so much and it was so good... but well I was wrong. We drove to Heinis grandma’s Mökki on the lake, in the middle of nowhere. Well almost there but the rood through the woods was so dirty from the rain that that the car could not drive up hill so we were walking the rest of the way. First I had to make fire in the house and of course in the sauna.
Then I had to go outside and find sticks for the "Stockbrot" and for marshmallows.
*earrings* . After that we had a great food and fun by telling us the combination of our last second names and the girls names of our mums...oh man I had no idea that you could call your Kid ”daily wave " :)
Then Miri got involved in the whole process and we played a game where the girls had to answer questions about me ( well they had to guess the right answer) And with every right answer they took a piece of toilet paper and created this beautiful wedding dress for me.*earrings*
They SAUNA! Yes! just love it and I was jumping in the cold lake twice!*earrings*
it was around 11:30 pm when we had dissert, cake, marshmallows and much more.
Then we cleaned, walked back to the car and drove to Heinis place *earrings*. As a goodbye I got *earrings*! So now I have 9 new pairs of earrings and I know that there are 6 girls here in Finland that I can truly call my friends. THANK you so much for everything (kaikki). And THANK you GOD for not only being my friend but also for giving me friends!

Umzug!...

Gestern und heute sind wir umgezogen. Besser gesagt, Antti ist umgezogen, hat all seine Möbel und seine Kleider etc. mitgenommen ( wusste garnicht, das Männer so viel Kleidung haben können ) Wir haben das neue Bett aufgebaut und den alten Tisch von Anttis Mutter bekommen.Haben die Küchengegenstände eingeräumt und eine Microwelle + Waschmaschine gekauft.
Das heisst, wir haben jetzt unsere Eigene kleine Wohnung.
Bin so froh, dass der Grossteil jetzt mal geschafft ist, und die Kleinigkeiten kommen auch noch. Bis auf das Sofa, das wird nochmal schwer.
ALso die Wohnung ist winzig, aber wunderschön. 47m2 und die grösste Fläche ist warscheinlich der Balkon :)
3er Stock, mit Blick auf den Supermarkt und LIDL und in der Ferne kann man auch ein kleine Stueck See sehen.
Wir haben Vorhänge und Teppiche von Anttis Mutter bekommen, und ich war so dankbar, das sein Vater uns gerstern den ganzen Tag lang geholfen hat die schweren Möbel zu transportieren. ( ich weiss, dass mein Papa das sicherlich auch voll gerne fuer uns gemacht hat, und obwohl er schonmal ein Laster anch Düsseldorf gefahren hat für einen Umzug seiner Töchter, weiss ich doch, das Finnland nochmal nen Stück weiter weg ist).
Morgen gehen wir "Kleinigkeiten" kaufen, bsp. Eimer und Kelle für unsere SAUNA, zum Aufgüsse machen :)
