Miehikkälä on my mind

Did I already say that Finland has been treating us good? We have been having such a wonderful time here. To see all friends and family has been absolutely great. Two weeks has gone so fast. Only this weekend left and Monday we go back to the island. But yesterday was the best as Mr. C came to Helsinki.

Highlight of the holiday was also last weekend at the summerhouse. How relaxing and beautiful it can be in Finnish nature. Me and my niece put up a soap factory. I will only share the pictures and not any tips how to make soap. Our recipes went bit wild. There was a point when one of us wanted to put sticks in the soap..

So, yesterday came Mr. C. We talked about it with Baby James the whole day. And what did we do? We went to see ice hockey. Neither one of my Spanish boys has seen ice hockey live before. My youngest brother was having the first game of the season and of course they won. And for the first time in weeks we were not feeling hot!

But today is the day. The big day. Its the Wedding day!!! Not mine. Or Mr. C's. Or ours. But my cousins. Baby James has bought new outfit for the occasion. Mr. C is fitting bit better to his shirt. And I will need to wear supportive underwear. But we are ready to celebrate the LOVE today.

Throw back to one year ago

The first time Mr. C came to Finland was midsummer last year. I took a look at the pictures we took year ago. And Helsinki was looking beautiful! I only remembered the September/ October when it was cold, rainy and dark all the time. I forgot how nice it can be in Finland in the summer.

Helsinki was beautiful but it was midsummer so we went to our summerhouse. My family was eager to finally meet Mr. C in person. And rally english was on.
Tip: if you don't understand what someone is saying to you, just say yes. I have witnessed this many times. It can take you anywhere. Yes.

While living in different countries saying goodbye was always so hard. I was always looking forward the next time we could see each other. Im looking at these pictures smile on my face. And what a great reminder of how lucky we are now to be together everyday.

This year we don't celebrate midsummer in Finland. But I hope I can capture these same feelings no matter where we are. Happy happy midsummer and take photos, always.
