husband and wife!

Did that all really happen yesterday? Time flies.
Let me start from yesterday then...
...We had to start driving to Merikan&Janar's wedding at 8am. At least that was our plan, but we set off 8:30am instead. No big deal, right?! Coz we were about to have a quite long time then we decided not to put our beautiful new dresses and shoes on.. So we were wearing casual clothes and felt really comfy. When we set off then it was only 17 C degrees..Can you believe it? It hadnt been that cold for so long time. But as we drove and drove, the sun came out and in our first stop, in Tartu, was SO hot! We stopped in Tartu coz dad needed to go to the bank, we were hungry and we needed to change our clothes. All went very fine, only we decided not to change clothes there.. And so we went back to the car, mom wanted me to pay some bills in the Internet bank..that's why i had taken my laptop with me!
Okay, it was time to keep driving and we needed to so a "forest stop" to change our clothes. Lol. We were driving, eyes open for a nice place to stop the car and change the clothes. Mom joked: "If we dont find the place we'll wear our casual clothes in the wedding.LOL.." And we all laughed. Of course she was kidding. Finally we stopped, mom said: "We are in a hurry, so let's do really quick." I said: "Yup, let's see who can change their clothes the quickest..". I quickly opened my bag and started putting my dress on. And then mom became pale and said to dad:"But you know what?! I forgot OUR clothes home! I put them downstairs ready, i took the shoes, but didnt take the dress and your clothes." OOPS! All in panic! What to do? Me and Anni had our dresses and heels. But mom and dad had NOTHING. They were both wearing jeans..they can't go to their first daughter's wedding wearing jeans :| Dad had bought mom super beautiful and expensive dress for the wedding and now it was at home. It made us all laugh at that time. How silly is to leave clothes home. And all way we were joking about clothes and stuff.
Hm, but what to do? We had 1 hr till the wedding. And we had at least 30 more minutes to drive to the wedding place. Plus we had never been there so we werent sure where exactly it was.. So we had to have more time to look for the place.. I told: "Let's go back to Tartu and quickly buy you new clothes." Dad turn the car around and started driving.. after 20 meters mom said:"We have too little time, turn around again. Who are we kidding?! If we go to Tartu we wont make it to the wedding in a time.".. So, dad turned around once again and speed up quickly and drove to Põlva.. We all kept laughing coz it was something we never excepted to happy. Mom said that these things happen only in the movies. Lol.
We drove and drove, but the turn didnt come. Then i said half joking: "Maybe we are now driving in a wrong road..". Mom freaked out, crabbed the map and started reading it.. Dad kept driving..Came out we really should have turned earlier..no we just drove a round a bit..but still there was a turn to Põlva too. As Põlva is such a little place we had NO idea if we can find clothes to mom and dad. What if they dont have a clothes shop?! When we arrived to Põlva, we ask introductions from locals to find the wedding house. We parked the car and ran to the little corner shop that we passed by. There were clothes.. It was this little Polish or Lithuanian clothes shop.. all clothes were so old fashioned.. But we had no other choice. We ran in, asked if they had a man's shirt.. They had one(!) and we had to hope it was fit for my dad! Mom crabbed the first dress that looked nice and she also had to hope it as a fit. They both were!!!!! The dress looked actually soo beautiful. Clothes went to cost SO little. It was like a totally make-over. The shop worker was so excited and very helpful too! We of course told her about the situation we had. LOL :)
Back in the parking lot, there were other guest too and we had about 15 minutes before the wedding. It was absolutely HOT! Impossibly freaking hot!
The wedding was beautiful. My younger sis and i were discussing about the ceremony..and she said she's sure she would cry. I said i was sure i wouldnt cry. But as the wedding marsh started and we both saw our older sis walking down the aisle we both were in tears! So beautiful, our big sister is getting married. It was really amazing! She looked the prettiest bride in the whole world. She smiled, hold her tears back while her husband cried. Granny cried like crazy, and as i said my younger sis Anni too. I had tears, but i dried them, and next tears i tried not to let out. But Anni just cried and cried. Even after the ceremony when we hugged the newlyweds.
The photographer took lots of pictures, inside and out. Then all the cars drove near one lake there to take more photos. The wedding "train"[a chain of cars--looks like a train] drove around South Estonia, to different places where newlywed had to do some things.. It was an old Estonian wedding with all the games and traditions.
After all that we had the wedding dinner and party at one special place. It was really cool there.
Omg, we had SO much food. TOO much i must say. There was more than half left over.. So today morning everyone got food home with them, lots of food. Oh, the wedding cake was the bestest i had ever got! Very delicious.
Actually everything was so wonderful and beautiful! Very special day!:)
Im so happy for my sister and her husband!=)

Pictures come later!

READ IT!

eyes to "Minu"

Demi tweeted on Monday morning: "Woo! Nothing like a 6 mile run to start your day/week. Happy Monday everybody! What's your goal for this week?"
I responded: "My goal is to read these 3 books that are waiting for me on my nightstand.."

After i tweeted this i realized something was technically wrong so i never tweeted it. And then i thought: good because i wouldn't achieve my goal anyway..
Now it's Friday and at 3pm i turned the last page of the 3rd book. It felt good. Not that i found it hard to read or anything.. haha.
I read books all the time. But you know, if its summer and hot i always have like million other things to do and i cant find time to cuddle up on my bed or in the garden chair to enjoy a good book.
So, im very happy i found that time this week. And i totally loved the books.
Minu Taani
Minu Kanada
Minu Maroko

You can only see the cover of the books, but i promise what's inside is million times better. These Estonian women write about their own life and experiences in another country. They are away from their home-land for different reasons[work, love, religion ect and of course the mixture of it all..]. They write about the country's locals' life, their culture, traditions, nature, everyday life and SO much more. And it's never boring. There's things i've never heard before, there are stories that make me laugh, there are stories that make me see my own country in different colors.. mostly i start appreciating all i have even more!
And thanks to these books i realize it's nice to travel to other places, gain new experiences, make new friends..but HOME is always place to return to and a place that is the most special!!!
I wish one day i can also write a book of my own experiences that i gained in another country, facing new and interesting culture and people. You gotta love two things for that: traveling and writing :)

Okayy, now quick update of my other doings. On Wednesday i spent the whole day at the beach with my sis and mom. But before the beach i went shopping. I hadnt shopped for quite long coz i just didnt have anything in my mind that i could want..and nor did i have a mood to go shopping. But on Wednesday while mom was at the hairdresser me and my sis decided to shop a bit. I got superr cute shorts and rly nice shirt. I also bought rly nice earrings, vintage blue nail polish and cute baby pink flats.

PSSSSSS!!!! Tomorrow's my sister's wedding. Im SO excited. We must set off at 8am already coz we must drive 5 hrs to get to the wedding place[its on the other side of Estonia].. Im gonna take my laptop with me so i can go to twitter and entertain myself in such long journey. Cannot wait!
:)

change of time.

"The road to knowledge begins with the turn of the page."

I've been reading a book today. That basically sums up what i have been doing. Actually i spent a lot of time on the net too. And in the morning i was active with more creative things.. And also finished some things i would have finished a long time ago.. But now they are done. And it feels great!


Im going to bed now.. to read a book & eventually sleep too. Going to the beach tomorrow:) I hope i'll be back by Jaci's webchat!

a bike ride.

It was Monday 1pm when 6 women set off to a journey. It was all to celebrate Raili's birthday.. They were riding and riding until they found a lake where to swim[it was super cool place!]. After swimming and taking pictures they continued their journey. After 22 kms they stopped and had a picnic. A wonderful lunch. There was this chef who cooked in a wild nature[wasnt that wild. LOL]. BAM! Chef turned into a musician: he sang and played a mandolin. Then he opened a bottle of champagne. Then we ate and drank and talked.. Until it was time to hop on the bikes again and keep riding.. this time back at home. It took another 22 kms[surprise surprise!]. At home was a dessert time. They had two different cakes, pies, melon, chocolate and so on..
All they were complaining how much their butts hurt:/
To sum up, it was a very nice day. This whole journey took exactly 6 hours! Everybody were proud of theirselves.

PS! I was talking of today. Mom and her friends and me went to ride bikes. We were celebrating mom's birthday that way!
I forgot to mention i was the photographer and took pix to remember that fun day!haha=)

work&joy

Last couple of days have been busy busy busy..but in a very good way!
On Thursday i hung out with Elise. We grilled marshmallows and bananas & spent the night in a tent. We watched Sorority Row and fell alseep before midnight(can u believe that?!). But it was so good to sleep in a tent coz it wasnt that hot outside and it was inside. So i totally enjoyed it!
Next morning i had to wake up 8am coz it was my mom's bday. Me and my sisters made breakfast for her and woke my mom up with song, breakfast in bed and of course a birthday present:) As always we all were on mom's bed talking about stuff. haha:)
Then we all went down and continued the breakfast and started cooking for later guests. We made salmon pie and lots of other delicious food!
Guests came and went whole day long. When there last two came i was on msn talking to Elisa and Shawny. But then BAM became a huge surprise for all of us. Our two family friends who we hadnt seen in years came to my mom's birthday. They had never been in our house(we have been living here for 7 years already)..But my mom had once showed her friend the house she very wanted to buy. And later when we visited them she told we bought the house. But they never came here..and we hadnt been to their place for years either. But on Friday on my mom's birthday they suddenly were here..My mom was in the garden with her two friends.. sun was shining tho it was almost 9pm and suddenly there was a birthday song.. New guests..but who?! And when mom saw them, she was super happpy :) And i was too! Coz it was so amazing for them to come here and do so amazing surprise. It seriously was so sweet of them! :) We all sat outside, had dinner and just talked&talked&talked. It was so interesting to hear about their life and so on.. It made me very happy! We are difnitely going to their place very soon!=)

On Saturday was my mom's bigger birthday party. But thankfully it started 7pm. I had to work from 1pm-6pm. I had to play with kids and also paint t-shirts in textile colors. It was very fun. And i had a blast being there and getting new younger and older friends. I actually worked till 7pm. So i got paid more than i hoped. It was very positive:)
And when i arrived home the party had just started. First guests had arrived and soon all the others came too. So we had a big dinner and all that stuff. It was very very nice night yesterday.
I went to bed 1:30am. I was very tired!

Today i went shopping to Tallinn with my parents. I needed new shoes for my older sister's wedding upcoming weekend, but instead i got new super cool bikinis and sunglasses:) Love these <3

When we got home it suddenly went dark and i was sure i could start raining. Of course i was right. There was a little bit of thunder too. And the rain was such a heavy. Me likey:)
Im having a light headache actually, so i better turn the laptop off and find some other activity:) haha!

this is your life.

Last night was like a hell. It was just so hot. Outside or inside, didnt matter. I just couldnt sleep. I woke up few times at night because i couldnt breath coz my throat was so dry..so i quickly had to drink water. Well, let's hope this night will be different. I need to sleep! Heat is making me tired whole day anyway!
Okay, about today now. I went to Tallinn to shop for textile colors[got all i needed;)], i also did some food shopping. Or should i say sweets shopping coz all i bought was candies, chocolates and cookies! Not for myself tho:)
I also bought two Bingo Lotto and one Viking Lotto. But OF COURSE i didnt win:/
Anywho, me and my sis didnt go to the beach coz it was just SO hot. All i wanted is to come home, take a cold shower and hide inside..coz even sea water doesn cool me down.. It's so warm like a soup. Yea yea i know i shouldnt be complaining. But i guess now i understand why about 8 years ago when summers were hotter and winters were colder, every summer i wished for winter..and every winter i wished for summer. But then, globalwarming and all that stuff messed around with the weather..so winters werent THAT THAT cold. And summers were warm, but the heat wasnt for long.. But this year it's ALL back.. the real coldness in the winter and real heat in the summer. And i actually love it. And i love the fact that im missing winter. I havent missed for it for years. Feels kinda great!haha. But sure i love the hot summer we have here again!:)
So, where were i..oh yeah, didnt go to the beach. So, i was back at home at 4pm. I had late lunch and helped mom outside a bit. Then i watched tv, had dinner and went to ride bikes with mom and sis. We also stopped by at granny's. After i came back, i watched Pretty Little Liars. Gosh! it was SO amazing. I cant wait to see the next episode. I have so many questions in my head..and i need answers! It's definitely one really interesting anf intense tv show! love it<3
I also watched Make It Or Break It today, outside with my sis. I just couldnt stand the heatness in my room, and luckily it was a bit windier and cooler outside[comparing with my room at least!]. It's another very cool show!:)

It's Thursday already coz its after midnight. It means that TODAY i'll camp outside with Elise. Going to watch horror movies from my lappy at night in the tent!:) And of course we'll roast marshmellows and bananas too. I still gotta figure out what we'll make for dinner. Love spending time with my besty! Too bad she has to go to Denmark so soon again :( Im off to bed now. Im begging for a sleepy and dreamy night..a cod night, please! (:

Currently listening to: This Is your Life by Switchfoot

heat.

A huge heat wave has come from Africa. That explains everything. It just keeps being so HOT here! Crazy! Today was 34 C degrees. Weather podcast told it'll be even hotter tomorrow. And oh, in Africa there's 13 C degrees?! What's going on in this world?
Okay okay, i know i shouldn't been complaining coz that's exactly what i wanted. Hot summer! And im very very thankful for that!:) But i'd love a little bit of rain now too. Grass and plans need water!
Yesterday i went whole day at the beach. Out family friends had a beach party:) Today i spent my day inside and outside. Mostly in becoz it was too hot. But when i was outside i was in the pool all of that time to cool myself down.
I started reading a book Minu Taani[My Denmark]. Gosh, i really love travel literature! Definitely my fav! Next book im gonna read is called Kas süda on ümmargune?[Is heart round shaped?]. I so love reading good and interesting books! I love traveling and i love reading about other countries and other cultures:)
Im quite tired right now. But i dont feel like going to bed yet. I'll try to watch Letters To Juliet online and then i'll take a shower and go to bed.
Tomorrow i'll go to Tallinn with my older sis. I need to buy some textile colors and also some prices for little kids. Im going to work on Saturday..actually play with kids. And i need to buy prices coz some games are more like competitions so i need prices for winners!:)
And after a little shopping i'll go to the beach with my sis :)

By the way, i was a bit productual today too. I arraged photos in my laptop and i made special folder for the photos that i want to develop in the photo store. Got 60 photos that i want to develop. Then i can put them to my photo album. And so i can cross one thing off my Summer List.

Oh i forgot to mention that at the beach party yesterday were few famous estonians too. For example, Karl Martin Sinijärv and Summer[Indrek Raag]. My sis and i were talking abt horror movies and Summer told that Dead Silence is the best. Even he was scared. So, now i really wanna watch it;)
I think i'll watch it with Elise on Thursday! It's gonne be one very fun night in the tent:)

Okay. Im gonna watch a movie now.

Jaci!

Wow! Jaci Velasquez totally made my day! Nah, screw that! She made my YEAR!
I was outside but it was so hot, so i came to Twitter. I saw Jaci's tweet that she's live on Stream Live Video. So, i went to watch it. And sure i tweeted her too:) And she answered to every my tweet and she called me her "Estonian friend". She's just so sweet! It's impossible to describe! I also asked if she could sing Como se cura una herida and she did! It was so beautiful! I wanted to cry! She's truly amazing young woman! I look up to her even more now! And her music is sooo good<3

Jaci, thanks for being who you are! Continue your awesome work!=)
