The Cutest Puppy!

We have been thinking about names for the little one but haven't come up with a good one yet. I have lots of nice girls names in mind but it seems it is much more difficult to think of a nice boy name- or then me and Stefan don't agree on the coolness factor of the name ;-) What would you call this beauty?

After Holiday

It's been some time again - since we came back from Spain time has flied away.

We had dinner with my favorite dinner girls! It's been some time since we had all four by the table. One just made it home from Austria and when the other one goes to Gothenburgh and the third one is packing for Thailand soon. I missed, miss and will miss u!


We also managed to finish the room in our house this summer. I'm so proud of us! Even though most credit goes to my dad because neither me nor Stefan has much talent when it comes to building, we're good at painting though :-)

On this pic the floor is not done yet but I promise we made it :-P



September started with some bridesmaid's stress and in the middle of all my four wisdom tooth were taken away. This is me still drugged and happy after the operation;


Later on I was less drugged and less happy and lived on yoghurt, baby food and smoothies for a week.



Finally on 12th the happy couple married and me and stefan were done with the final of three weddings this summer.

Wedding one in romantic Paris;


Wedding two on the country side;


Wedding Three in Sipoo;


I can't believe I do not have a proper picture of us bridesmaids in wedding three. But here goes one with bridesmaids x 3, wedding couple and bestman;


The weddings were lovely and I think I did my crying share in all of them. Let's see if next summer will be just as busy wedding wise :-)... we have gotten some warnings on weddings for 2011 but there's still time until that.

At work we're doing quarter cut-off with less people than usual so it's been a bit crazy. However, as I am older and wiser since saturday I'm managing. Now I can count myself as half-way to 50 :-S scary!

Stefan already had broke the news about the best present and the family growing ;-) You can check out the pics in his blogg here. They're so cute and I can't wait to see them!

Sonisphere concert

Last weekend we went to Pori with a couple of friends to be at the Sonisphere festival. I bought tickets for Stefan for his birthday because he had been saying for a long time he would like to go and see a nice show and preferably rock. Who would have thought I would go there?!?! :-D I think I was one of the only ones wearing a pink jacket that day ;-)

Anyway, I quite enjoyed it in the end, (with earplugs though )we were sitting on the gras in the back in the beginning when Lamb of God and Machine Head played.


There was even some drama when Machine Head's guitarist passed out on stage. I found this video of it on YouYube;



huh, the music sounds much worse on the video, haha :-D

Linkin Park was soundwise good but they had quite a poor contact with the audience so the show seemed kind of cold. At this stage we had to stand up though because it started to get crowded even in the back :-)


And in the end everybody was ecstatic; Metallica were showing who rocked most :-P I didn't know the new songs at all but when they played Nothing else matters and Enter Sandman the feeling was really on top. They also seemed to love Finland so that was a plus :-D
But what rock/heavy band would not love this country;-)





Here's more videos from YouTube, you can even hear the Finns sing, haha, not too beautiful :-D



Can't resist putting this one also even it is crappy quality as well, I wonder if they tell everytime after a concert that it was the best? :-D



Well we for sure rocked this weekend! I'm proud of myself:-)


Now I have to work on my Spanish for our holiday in Spain...and perhaps I have to pack as well...:-P

Puppy!

Look what we saw yesterday!


<3 aaaw!

We also saw Chuck and Max So beautiful :-)

Back in Finland

The holiday went fine and Stefan's brother's weeding was beatuiful. I was just gonna load up some pictures to an album on pixbox but it didn't work :-( I try again later. We enjoyed Paris a lot and did lot of nice shopping in Normandie and saw also the beatiful coast line.

Stefan and the Atlantic;




Since the holidays we have had company summerparties and friends graduating and it's been Midsummer and we have been babysitting little cute Vasco. I went also on a girl day-cruise to Tallinn yesterday. Summer is lovely but I wish I had more time to hang around and do nothing. I had a look in the calender and we have exactly 2 free weekends until half of september. :-I But hopefully we have time to relax as well.

During Midsummer we were in my parents summercottage with some friends, that was nice and relaxing. Unfortunetly it was pretty cold this year but I am proud to say I went swimming :-)...after some Sauna!

Me and Vasco during midsummer;




I'm gonna post also this song since it always make me think of lazy late summernights on the counrtyside;

Getting in the Holiday Mood

This morning started horrible, I went out and noticed it was raining and I had only a t-shirt and a summerjacket so I had to go back home and get some more clothes because it was cold (or almost home cause Stefan was nice enough to bring them down) . During that time I missed 2 buses. When I finally caught the bus I hit my head when I was supposed to sit down. And then when getting off the bus I twisted my ancle.

Luckily it is holiday sooon! Today I worked for longer to finish most things before my holiday week. I'm getting in the holiday mood now and starting to relax little by little:-)

When finally home from work I made my dad's special sandwhich to empty the fridge as we are gonna be away for a week;

Some Finnish rye bread;


with mustard, ham, cucumber, tomatoes, some cheese on top and a bit of oregano. This you put in the microwave so the cheese meltes and it's yammi :-)

While eating it I watched with one eye, believe it or not Serrano Family or Serrano Perhe as it's called in Finland.

It just happened to be on when I turned on the TV and it was perfectly braindead for a day like today. It feels comletely like a Friday now even if we are only Wednesday.

After that I took another step in the relaxing process and read my newspaper in calmness but in the end I got a bit restless and decided that some jogging would be nice even if it's raining. So I put on some Veronica Maggio and went running.



It was perfect jogging weather and perfect jogging music. In the beginning of the week it was about 30 degrees and it was too hot to do anything, I couldn't even sleep.

The perfect ending of the day was however to come home and go to sauna.

In two days we are flying to Paris, what could be better than that :-)
