Step by step, bike by bike

Moving has started. Last week my lovely girlfriend and I went on a holiday to Denmark together. On the way back, she took one of my three bicycles to Helsinki on the plane. When she came home, she sent me a picture of my bike in Helsinki, so great!

I also sent a letter to my workplace to quit my job… Last workday: 31st of July!

Distance will be closed soon!

Superb weekend

Love grows. Every time when we are together, feelings get stronger and we get closer. But my girl left again. I feel lost in my own house. My thoughts: What am I doing here on my own? Why didn't I go home with her, to Helsinki? Damn. But the weekend was awesome. We went to the beach, wandered around in nature-parks, had very, very good dinners, enjoyed the sun (finally, spring arrived) and each other.

And now, ten days only. That's great! One weekend alone and we will be together. We will go to Denmark on a nine-day holiday. We rent a luxurious summer house at sea. Plans: Aquarium visit, Legoland, jacuzzi-time, sauna, long walks next to the sea, kiting... It will be amazing!

Welcome to NL

Rain season has arrived: Spring started today in The Netherlands. So, it’s raining. The sky is one big grey mass, and raindrops keep pouring down all day. This might continue for the next few weeks, with an incidentally dryer day every now and then.
Yesterday, my girlfriend’s dad and his girlfriend landed at Amsterdam Airport to spend some days in NL. Poor people. So unlucky. The Netherlands is a really nice country - when it’s not raining.

Tomorrow my love comes too! I will pick her up at the airport around 16.00h. Rain or no rain, this weekend will be amazing.

Best Easter ever!

I’m back ‘home’ in The Netherlands. I spent Easter together with my Finnish girlfriend in Finland. Great weather, bright blue sky and sun, still snow and ice, but just around zero degrees Celcius. Couldn’t be better. We drove to my girl’s parents’ place, went cross country skiing on the Baltic Sea, did crazy jumping in the snow…
We went back to our home in Helsinki which feels to me like home more and more. We feel like the ‘dating stage’ is over, we are spending daily life together and we are preparing to close the distance. August it is!

I love her so much. Valtavasti!

We took this picture at sunset… <3

Great month! The month of 10's!

Wow! New plans coming in, we have a great month coming up! First of all: In 10 nights I will fly to my love in Finland. The Easter weekend will be fantastic. Just 10 days later, my girlfriend travels to The Netherlands already! Her dad and his partner will visit NL, and my love wants to come too. :) GREAT! But then… after that, only 10 nights of sleep before my Finnish handsome comes to NL again! We will go to Denmark that week for a short holiday. My family rented a summer house close to the sea and… We will go to LEGOland! Sooo excited!

Choices and changes in life

I am a speed skater at heart. On the ice, I feel like a ‘fish in the water’. When I was 8 years old, I became a member of my speed skating club and started to train. Little later, I started to race competitions and I have been doing that up to this moment. Now, at the age of 23, I figured out that I found the love of my life. Only thing is… She lives in Finland. Few months ago I made the decision to move to Helsinki in the future. This would mean that I have to quit speed skating in The Netherlands. And yesterday, with a little pain in my heart, I sent an e-mail to my speed skating club to make them end my membership. And so be it. I made my choice a while ago, thought about it really well, and I will continue skating in Finland. The biggest change in my life needs choices that have to be made. In autumn, I move to my girl in Helsinki, and I will leave everything behind here. No regrets!

I love you.
