Him.

I want to tell you about the best thing, that has ever happened to me, but at the same time, I want to tell you nothing. And even if I tried to keep our relationship to myself, I find myself writing about him, those sentences just sneaking up in my texts and getting lost in there, whatever the subject was. You have probably noticed.

He is such a big part of my life, it’s no wonder you already know him by name.

But where would I even start? I have no words for the weird coincidence, that I happened to meet him. I have no explanation, as to why we got along so well – instantly. I don’t understand, how he manages to wake me up every single morning with a smile on his face, and why I look forward to that moment.

Or maybe I do.

But I still wonder, how you can love someone so much. Even after all these years, I get occassionally nervous in his company and start to blush and sweat. A fact, that he likes to point out – especially if we are out in a public place – so that I get even more blushed and awkward than I was.

Luckily in these photoshoots, we were both equally awkward – but only for a minute. Out photographer was so talented, she could make us relax and these photos turned out wonderful.

I didn’t know there were gifts to be exchanged for our anniversary – other than a nice dinner we had to celebrate – but then Risto went and surprised me with a trip to Paris in Fall. Wow. As if that wasn’t enough, he also got us a trip to Fort-De-France as my birthday present. I’m thinking that bringing him a cup of coffee in the morning makes up as an equal gift, would you say?

I feel both very relaxed and very tired after the weekend. I spent it at a cottage on the countryside with a small group. It was also one of my sister’s surprise birthday party. Who knew keeping a secret from your sister was that stressful? It was all worth it though. The look on her face, when I took a snapchat video and told her where we were going, was so pure and joyous.

A weekend in the middle of the nature was also something, I very much looked forward to.

I feel very relaxed, because for two days, I didn’t browse my phone or watch TV. For two days I basically had no electricity, no running water or the sound of speeding cars in my ears. I feel peaceful, because I got to lay on the grass, swing in the hammock and float around a pond on a floating device. I also got to see a rare butterfly, carry my own water from the well and dance through the night.

But I’m also very tired. I’m tired, because mosquitos liked to not only eat me alive, but also keep me awake with their annoying buzz. I’m tired, because I hunted for two days. I hunted for horseflies. But only when they came at me – which was only constantly. I’m not sure if the word ‘horsefly slayer’ suits me, but that’s what I like to call myself. And I guess I’ll admit it – I’m also tired from dancing through the night.

Ah – the pros and cons of spending some time on a summer cottage. The count for mosquito bites is uncountable, but you just can’t beat a weekend in the middle of the nature. The feeling of waking up, opening the door, and being basically in the middle of the forest is just beautiful.

And coming home, taking a shower, scrubbing all the dirt from your feet and watching your favorite tv-show is also quite awesome.
