I did it =)

I packed three suitcases
full of all my stuff
(well, a tenth or so of my original pile of stuff,
but my Piglet&I managed to shrink it!)
For the first time in 10 months "packing my suitcases" is not
on my to-do-list.
*
*
And now I'm all done.
Leaving my parents' home Sunday night,
staying with friends 8 hours away the last few days
before leaving,
STILL WAITING for a call, for the visa to get ready
*
In less than two weeks (God willing) I'll say yes again, to my Ben,
368 days after my first yes.
I can't wait to walk every step of the way with him,
share all joy, share all sorrow.
*
The Lord is so *so* good.
I love Him so.

Of Cake and Lovebirds...

Just a teeny weeny update here to tell you all that:
* big fat letter arrived
* all required documents are obtained
* and sent.
*we're now waiting for an interview date,
and I'm leaving by train on Monday to go to the capital.
When I come home, I'll be waving that visa in my hand
for real.
(though, I have no idea WHEN I'll be back..)
*
"My heart rejoices in the LORD;
in the LORD my horn[strength] is lifted high.
My mouth boasts over my enemies[not the Embassy],
for I delight in your deliverance."
1. Sam 2:1

My brother...

* *
..recently moved to Finland.
*
Before he moved there, we spent precious days together here.
We talked, he talked.
I made him breakfast, every morning, supper everynight.
He even had cookies and cake every night with his coffee after supper.
*
My brother, being the oldest, calls himself the First Child,
he insists ((lovingly)) that I (the oldest daughter) is "second-rate" =)
*
My brother, has a sweet side, which he's not able to hide, even when he tries to act snobbish...
*
He really likes my husband-to-be.
Which means a lot to me.
*
He sends me nice cards where he writes about how I (in the process of becoming a farmer's wife)chose the dung fork over a diamond ring, and a barn over a castle.
He consequently addresses me as "Mrs. my-new-last-name" in those cards
(which I love too).
*
*
My brother is that tall, serious looking, handsome guy on the couch there, in between my granny and my cousin.
*
Sometimes he's not serious at all.
*
My brother and I were... um... like cats and dogs when we we're younger.
*
We would quarrel about who was to clean the bathroom (we both WANTED to),
we'd have competitions who could wrap a packed lunch the best
*
.... but we don't do those kind of things anymore.
*
He sent me flowers for my birthday...
**
*




*

I love my brother.
