Our winter holiday is soon over and my mind is already preparing to next weeks works. Weather has been so lovely whole this week, it is really so that sunlight and frost uplift minds and give energy. Yesterday was once again really beautiful. We cycled by bikes in the woods, made fire and ate our packed lunches. After that we cycled down by slippery forest paths. Those moments make you focus on the very moment, at least if you want to stay on the route. I fell down once, but luckily the snow wasn’t too hard. Sky was baby blue and sun was shininh so brightly that all those snow was sparkling like diamonds. Oh, it felt so good to come home after adventures and lay down to our huge sofa. Home is the best haven!

At tuesday we were celebrating our eight years as a married couple. Every new day is worth of celebrating. We love to do something special at our anniversarys. Spending time together is the most value thing. I think our most memorable anniversary was six years ago. We were very young and we hadn’t enough money at that time to make something that we’d wanted to. Well, then we decided to make our own adventure and climb on the top of the local slope with sledges. Then we came down. I sat infront of the sled and of course I got great snow mask when I was braking! Golden memories.

This year we have faced quite hard times and recent months haven’t been easy. I’m not sure id I want to talk about those issues here, at least not yet. During hard times the importance of small moments mean much. It is eye-opening to see that happiness trylu is found from very small, certain things. Of course some days I need to use binoculars and a magnifying glass to find all the good, but the most important thing is that I’ve searched and found. Difficult journeys are always easier together. I do really appreciate the fact that there is someone to whom to catch up when my own forces are exhausted.

At our anniversary day we cycled in Arctic Light Hotels breakfast. This place offers the most beautiful milieu and the best food in Rovaniemi. Breakfast was perfect. It included chia puddings, raw cakes, fresh pressed juices, seed bread, reindeer, salmon.. Wish I could eat there every morning! The moment was heavenly and we were repeating with my bae how we are eating the best hotel breakfast ever. We give special recommendation to the coffee. Of course nothing beats our home cafe (haha), but it was way better coffee than you can get in any cafe at Rovaniemi. Next time we head to Arctic Boulevard for dinner.
