Went to Mikkeli for Hanna’s graduation which went well. I am so proud of her. She looked great and it was nice to see Hanna’s MBA classmates again. I do see many of them on a regular basis in Helsinki, but some I have not see since August of last year. It was nice to see them once again.

Went to Kouvola to celebrate Hanna’s birthday on the 20th and her sisters birthday on the 21st. Just the 5 of us (Hanna, me, her father, her mother and little sister)

It was a very nice weekend, quite and relaxing. Also had some family friends stop by to say hello and drop off presents to Tiia (Hanna’s sister).

Went to Kajaani for Easter Weekend Ski Trip. Very nice town and the slopes were pretty nice, even thought the conditions were not as nice as the states. Too icy of conditions to really enjoy the slopes, but then I had to mess up my knee on the first run, so I really didn’t enjoy that day too much. Just had a great weekend and enjoyed the surrounding and friends that Hanna and I were with. Very nice cabin where we stayed at too. We roasted sausages over the fire place and drank beer and told stories (and watched some tv too!) We went from Helsinki to Lahti, then to Jyväskylä, then on to Iisalmi then onto Kajaani. It was roughly like going to San Francisco to Los Angeles. About 345 miles or 500 Kilometers. It took us about 8 hours or so to get there. Not bad of ride and it was not snowing the entire time we were driving. It did snow however all day on Sunday the 15th. It was nice to see it snow.

If all goes well today I will get my belongings from the moving company and I will finally have my personal computer up and running and have access to my music collection so that I can listen to my cd’s at work. I tried to listen to the internet radio stations, but Nokia’s firewall is really tight and will not allow me to gain access to those sites. Oh well. I guess they will have to endure my music collection. Now all I have to do is get some nice speakers to plug into my laptop at work and away I go. Now where is the local computer / component shop at? (What I really need is RADIOSHACK right now!) :(

Not much else going on but am going away for the Easter Holiday to Kajaani, Finland to go snowboarding with Hanna and our friends Timo and Salla at Vuokatti.(a ski resort in Northern Finland.)
