Insane

I’m getting crazy! Two nights and my girlfriend and I will be reunited… To not be separated anymore by this stupid Netherlands-Finland-distance! I can’t focus on my work anymore these last days (sorry colleagues), I have trouble sitting still on my chair, I have too much energy but I feel tired (?), I am bored but very busy, I feel butterflies in my stomach all the time, I JUST WANT TO BE THERE NOW!

8 days

Wow… I’m not really realizing it I think… But in eight days my gorgeous girlfriend and I will close the distance - for good! I move from The Netherlands to Finland! How exciting! We will live one week in ‘our’ (her) house in Helsinki, and then we take a three week holiday to Norway. After that it’s time for a cosy goodbye-party in my parents’ garden with family and friends. And then, (sort of) finally, we really really move all my stuff to Helsinki. Yeah!

First things first then. Try to get a Finnish social number, to get access to open a new bank account, get my car on Finnish numberplates, get Finnish health insurance and so on. Then it’s time to attend a language course (Finnish is hard!) to be able to understand first.

Well… enough written for now… Oh, I love her!

Last countdown ever!

I just updated our Tumblr and Blogspot pages... THE LAST COUNTDOWN HAS STARTED! My girlfriend and I will close the distance between us after 19 days! We will go on a holiday trip to Norway first, and after that we pick up my stuff in The Netherlands and drive via the Stockholm-ferry to Helsinki.

I came back from Finland last Wednesday, knowing that it would be the last three weeks of living separately. So great! Awesome feeling. In these three weeks I have to select the clothes and other stuff that I want to take with me to Finland (not all my stuff fits in the car) and prepare our camping equipment. Aaaawww I can't wait!

Moving part 3 - Oops…

Oops… I haven’t written so many updates anymore on Tumblr. Sorry dear followers! But… don’t be sad, here is a new one!

Tomorrow (!) I’m going to my lovely girlfriend in Helsinki, I’m sort of going home! The date to close the distance and live together in the same place (and country) is set on the 1st of August. And tomorrow will be the last time for me to fly to Helsinki and return to Amsterdam alone, to live 1800km’s away. Next time will be together forever! And I will take my road race bicycle with me to Helsinki too tomorrow.
We have a lot of nice things in mind to do in the next five days. We have tickets for the P!NK-concert in Helsinki next tuesday, we will have brunch with friends, I have a job interview, I will visit trainings from my new skating team, we will spend a lot of time together! I can’t wait to be with the love of my life again.

And maybe the best thing… It’s about 11 degrees C and raining in NL, in Finland however it is around 20 degrees C and sunny!

Hotel Mama

In preparation for my emigration to Finland, I moved back to my parents’ house last weekend. ‘Hotel Mama’ is my place to live for about two months, and it feels good. I always liked living with my parents. No problemoooo.

Soon already, I will go to spend some time in Helsinki, my future city and my future home with (hopefully) my future wife. After 8 nights of sleep from this moment, I go to my girlfriend. Three things planned already that long weekend: Brunch with friends, job interview and P!NK’s concert! Yeeeee!

Moving part 2

Last week my girlfriend took already one of my bikes to our home in Helsinki. Great! Moving had started. And it continues today. I am moving back to my parents. I will live there for about one and a half month before going on holiday with my love and actually moving to Helsinki! Feels good to work on the future!
