A bit more vacation updates...

So now my vacation has almost come to an end... I am back at Uni on this upcoming Monday... But now some more updates on the time that has gone by...

This last week and a half, I have spent both in Liljendal, Helsinki/Helsingfors and in Turku/Åbo.. and some time in Porvoo/Borgå... In Liljendal I was mostly chilling, going for walks, reading, ect.. You can see some wintery pictures of me and my dog, Funny... unfortunately the snow didnt last for too long...I was already planning going skiing..but no... instead I did try a little of the ice while being out walking that I fell straight backwards in a hill, leaving nice blue marks... he he..but no broken bones... I told my dad, when he said that thank God I didnt break anything, "You´d have to have a motorsaw to break my bones..." I will not proove myself to be right...but at least it is close to the truth, I think, since I have never ever broken a bone in my entire almost 25-year-old body... he he...

Funny and I outside our house in Liljendal...

Winter weather... (isnt she the cutest dog you´ve ever seen??)

Last week Tuesday Jesus Revolution was in Borgå holding a concert in the evening. I got three of "my girls" with me from Liljendal and we went there... It was a nice evening and good to see old and new people..:-)

Then last week Thursday I overcame myself and got up at 6am to go to Borgå... We only had one car available, so I drove mom to work to 7.30 and then I went swimming in Borgå... It was sooooo nice!!! I was swimming for one hour and then I sat in the steem sauna for quite some time just enjoying life and relaxing!!! Sooooo goood!!!!!!!!!! :-) After that I headed to Maria Åsvik´s place and we had some nice time catching up and pondering on the exciting life with God. We then went out to eat lunch at a Chinese restaurant in town... So great to spend time with my big sister in Christ! :-) After that I just had to go and pick up mom from work (he he sounds almost like picking up the kids, ey, a little backwards..She works at a kindergarden...). I then drove straight to my next "meeting" with Minna at Liljendal Shell. We had a nice catching up time over some tea and chocolate..he he.. That reminded me of how fast time flies!!! I had´t really seen her since last summer we concluded!!! CRAZY!! I have no pictures of her here, cause she refused on me taking any so... Even papparazzi herself couldnt violate that wish...;-) I also got a nice evening that Wednesday with my grandparents! It was great seeing them again and just spending time with them! I cherish each of those moments!!!

Then Friday to Sunday Hanna and I went to Turku/Åbo for a Network 21 Weekend Seminar. The main speaker was Peter Cox from Australia!!! It was a really great and inspiring weekend and it really challenged me in many different ways!! No words can really describe it... It is like one of the speakers said..."It´s like trying to describe what cinnamon tastes like...". But it was deffinately a special weekend... Here are some pics from there...

After the weekend I still went to Liljendal for a couple of days before I headed to Helsinki with all my luggage!!! I stayed at Hanna´s place and we had some more good time together... Tuesday evening I got to see my dear childhood friend Maria and we had a nice catching up time over some evening snack...

Maria :-)

I also got to spend more time with my cousins Eva and Catrin. Catrin (Titti) made lunch for us on Wednesday and I finally got to meet her boyfriend Kalle. :-) We had a really great time together! I also experienced the most strangest thing ever in the kitchen there as I was wipping some wipcream... all the sudden as I was gonna add some sugar and mix it the mashine started going by itself (at least I have no clue if I pushed some strange button) and the cream went flying all over the kitchen... the "wipping machinge" got stuck in the bowl... We were all really surprised and shocked cause none of us really understood what happened. But it all ended happily with no injury, just a big laugh and some cleaning...:-)

I am so thankful for my wonderful friends and family and it has been amazing to have this vacation and just relax and see people!!! On Wednesday evening Hanna had her first cell group at her place. So I got to be apart of that too and I met Aami for the first time and Matilda, that I have met a few times before...:-) We had a nice evening together and it was great to get to know the girls, these wonderful sisters in Christ! :-)

Cell evening... Matilda, Aami and Hanna...

Now I am back in Tartu after having travelled 8hours with 45kg luggage (5bags)!!! I travelled from Helsinki with Eeva and Joona, and it was so great to see both of them again! :-) So now I am here settling back in Tartu and getting prepared for the Spring term!!! It is wonderful to be back here again and I am excited for what this year will bring!!! Life with Jesus is sooooo exciting!!! Praise God!!! :-) :-) :-) :-)
