Polttarit
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!...
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 :)

ENDLICH !
Es war auch warm, was mein Herz erfreutet! 16C , das bedeutet fuer die Finnen T-Shirt Wetter!
Heute war die Taufe von Anttis kleinen Baby Neffen und er hat auch seinen Namen bekommen, jetzt muessen wir ihr nicht mehr "HEMPPA" nennen.
Er heisst "Joona Antero". Es gab Kuchen und lecker jammy, jammy Essen. Ich hab einen Schokko-kuchen gemacht, er war ganz ok, nur das der Boden auseinander gefallen ist.
Ich hab mir ein neues blau/lila Kleid gekauft , denn aus irgend einem komischen Grund habe ich nur Kleidungsstuecke mit nach Finnland genommen, die man nicht miteinander kombinieren kann. Das heisst an "normalen " Tagen machst das nichts, aber an festlichen Anlässen stehe ich im REGEN !

hyvää pääsiäistä
Easter in Finland...when I think about Easter I see colored eggs in green grass and sunshine, flowers and trees with fresh green leaves...well not this year. Some parts of Finland are still covered in snow ( or snow -mud) and the other part is dirt...no grass no green trees, no sunshine ( well a little bit, but still cold).
But despite those ugly circumstances Easter was great... We spend the first and second Easter Holyday at Anttis dad`s place. And we even made a "egg hunt". Well my team lost but that didn’t matter too much. In the evening we played an up normal form of "Texas Holdem" , the staked was not money but water glasses... that means if you raise you raise water classes and if you lose you have to drink the amount of water glasses that you played with...It doesn’t sound that terrible but after your 17th glass of water you feel terrible. The water goes right through you and takes away all the salts from your body and makes you feel so blown up and dizzy... I drank 17 and I was the best (with the lowest amount of water glasses) Antti drank 27th !!
After that tortures game we all had to go to the sauna to get rid of the water overload...and still I had to get up 4 times at night to piiiiie...
