Day 228: Back to counting.
Alright. My last week was just over my head crazy. I came back a week ago from today and worked straight 5 days in a row so today is my first day off actually. Had to deal with tiredness, jet lag, stomach pain, sleepless nights etc. But somehow in the midst of all this I had this strange peace like Im being held safe in Gods hands. And to tell you the truth, I AM! (: I am being held there so strong and firm that falling seems impossible.
So last week just passed by working and preparing for the wedding of N+S. I was just having nice time with Nathalie while doing last bits and pieces and having dinners together etc after work. And now she is a married woman. Sometimes it does feel like everyone I know and are close to me, decides to get married or engaged or in a relationship... And I love it! (: Haa, Im sure you thought Im gonna say that it makes me sad. No. It makes me dream instead. Dream that these lovestories have something to do with my own one day. That they are all preparing me for something bigger. That all of these people have a part of my life. And they will always have. So, no, Im not sad. Im happy.
So Nathalie´s wedding on Saturday was all I could hope for. All she dreamt about came true. Except the rainbow-part, but what mattered was that they were enjoying themselves. The ceremony was so joyful, so happy. They had worship which Im so gonna have as well one day. Beautiful speeches, words, prayers spoken over their life together etc. And ofc the yes-word from both of them. And a big kiss! ;)
So after that everyone headed towards our B&B for a small reception with champagne and cake. And we had an opportunity to sneak away with N+S for some pictures. I was helping Paul. I took over 700 pics that day (just a small fact) and Paul the same amount. Later we joined everyone for a cake.
Oh I have to mention the little "funny thing" that happened there. I just have to. I have told you about R and his desperate intention to find me a suitable man here. So at one point he looks at me and says with a sneaky face that he wants to introduce me to someone special. Im already wanting to RUN. But then he takes me to this nice gentleman and we actually talked quite a lot that night. But anyway, now that just made me laugh. Thats how much he wants me to stay in Wales. Or maybe he just wants to make me happy! Dunno. Anyway... :)
Then we headed to the dinner-party place. Oh wow. What a great evening. I was put to the main-table next to some lovely people so I actually had some wonderful time with them. Food was so good, well, I ate very little of eat coz of all the excitment and running I needed to do that day, cakes yummy, what else do you need.
So at one point I needed to sing a little song for them (and again I realized Im not a performer. I can so easily worship, I mean I can just soak there and not worry what ppl think of me, but singing to 100 ppl who stare at you, it just freaks me out) and after the dinner was over we moved upstairs. And then the real party started. MUSIC. I danced 3-4 hours straight, who knows anymore. But now, 1,5 days later - my feet still hurt. A LOT! Thats how much I danced. Plus I had boots with heels on and that didnt help a bit. So I just enjoyed myself. I didnt care about anything in these hours. Just danced my heart out. Yes. Thats what I did. And surprisingly I still have my heart! ;)
Wow. So I actually felt like Im a part of Nathalie´s day. Coz I started around 9 am in her room, taking pictures of every detail, preparations etc... And then we moved on. I was just there for her and I felt needed. What a wonderful and beautiful day.
So now Im taking 2 days off. Finally getting rid of my nails (I let them grow for the 2 weddings I had), practising some guitar hopefully, visiting Paul and Rosie, going through wedding pictures. Yes. What a great chance to just rest.
Oh now you´re probably thinking what guitar. Well, that was suppose to be my big secret coz I had a plan with surprising someone with me playing but it never worked out so now I dont care who knows who doesnt. About 3-4 months ago I decided to start learning guitar. I have tons of free time here in my evenings and so I practised and practised and learned new things until I overplayed and hurted my hand really bad. And now the last time I touched a guitar was a month ago. So Im about to try again! With God´s grace.
(: Alright you all, have a beautiful week. Enjoy God´s little kisses and His love for you!

Update of my last 2 weeks!
So Im sitting on a plane, cant wait to land already. Im not sure if Im a big fan of the night-flights. Actually this is my first one. 7 hours all together, no sleep and its already morning. Ive still got 2 hours to go so. God help! ;) I know His favor has been with me so strong this trip, I can feel Him with me in every step I take... Im sitting next to an absolutely lovely couple and the sunrise, ooh, it was just gorgeous! I wish I could have taken a picture but the thing is that Im not sitting next to a window. So next time!
So here I am. Going back to Wales already. I cant believe it was exactly 3 weeks ago when I started my journey, first to Germany and then to Canada. The time has just gone somewhere and I dont know how is it possible. I have so many emotions, so many words, so many things to say. And I have no idea where to start. I mean, how do you describe a journey, a trip, that has so many levels? You tell me and then I´ll do it! ;)
I am not gonna write about Germany coz I did that already. Im just gonna say that I miss Susi already and I hope the CD will come out soon! Cant wait to hear what we recorded. I pray to God it will be anointed and a blessing to many, including people that do not know God!
Anyway, 2 weeks ago I had a flight to Canada. It was one of the hardest days of my life. So many emotions, so many tears, so many thoughts, things happened that should not have. Hearts were broken and yet I was held in Daddy´s hands. Way too many expectations sometimes might ruin the real thing. Im just happy Dad can find a way out of everything. And He did it also this time. He was there with me and He held my hand when I was hurt. And for that I am thankful.
The first days in Canada were a bit blurry. I mean, I did have a small jetlag but it wasnt as bad as I thought it would be. I was afraid that Id be feeling like a dead chicken (haha, yes, you can laugh with me and over me). But I slept good already the 2nd night despite the fact that at least one of my parent snores. And I tell you, louder then our ex-dog Mr.Morrisson. Oh yes, I didnt tell, I had to kinda share a room with my parents. Haha. Well, what can you do. Oh, and a bed with my baby Ester. I didnt mind that part, when she sleeps, she is an angel! ;) I had a few very bad-bad nights, when I was woken up several nights due to the sounds of snore! I mean it is funny now but it sure wasnt then...
My first day there me, my mum and Ester, we were taken out to some kinda festival. I think it had to do with thanksgiving or smth. There were tons of pumpkins, tons of people, shows, vegetables, birds, animals etc. I dont know if I liked it, coz I was tired. I mean it wasnt easy to walk all day long after 3-4 hours of sleep... I did it, but I would have enjoyed it more when I would have been awake. haha. And E was grumpy, wanting to have chips and just being a kid, you know! ;)
Then I have no memory of what we did the day after that but somewhere in the middle we had a ceremony-rehearsal. It was great. I met V´s best friends (who bytheway are just smoking-hot-incredable-wonderful-lovely people) and C´s best friends (well, who mostly are married, so not gonna say a lot here)! And got quite a good feeling of the coming wedding. Yay.
And why oh why I have no memory of the next day after that day. Oh, I think we visited Krissy´s family, one of V´s wonderful girls. Oh that woman, she is just so lovely and with the biggest heart ever. She has this glow around her, so tender and yet strong. Beautiful and I dont even know what to say about her. I wish I could hang out with her way more, its just the big distance between us. But God knows, maybe one day. And her family. Wow. I dont like to put it in a wrong way, but they just ROCK. Her brother has the same big heart and Im not surprised why, if it is the inheritance from their parents! ;)
So, then came the weekend. Im not sure what happened then. I think we went to church with V. A great man of God was speaking from his heart and I loved it. It was beautiful how he cried coz he so loved God.
And so the new week arrived. The week of V+C´s wedding. A lot of preparations, goings and comings, doing the last-minute-things. Being a bit stressed. Being happy. Being sad. Being emotional. And actually realizing that my sister is getting married.
Oh and the story of the high heels. I have to put it in. It is just "The story" of my Canada. So coz I couldnt find any shoes all through summer I went to Canada with the GREAT idea that of course I will find them there. And almost every day we went to shops trying to find me white shoes. Haha, how ironic, but autumn-colour is brown, NOT white. So there were almost no white heels, like no where. I think I went to like 20-30 stores. Seriously. I actually bought a pair already and then returned them. Coz of the fact they were too big for me and I couldnt walk with them! ;) So the day before the wedding I went to a second hand and guess what, white shoes - my size. But of course there was a but (not but+t). I am not used to high heels. So I couldnt walk with them, haha. So one of V´s friends brought me her second pair of white shoes. And on the big day, well, let me put it like this. I walked, but not really. I more like paddled. Coz it was so painful. I managed 2 hours and then I put my tennis-shoes on, haha... So there goes my high-heels-love! ;)
So back to the week before the wedding. I think on Tueseday or Wednesday we had a house-party with Chris´s side of a family and then at one point a party with his side of friends. Wonderful times. :) And on Thursday we had a big big preparation day. A lot of things to do on a reception hall. But it turned out beautiful and we did it.
Friday. The day has arrived. tatatatataaa. The night before we had a girls-night-out. Went to a restaurant and had some great food and for the night we went to a beautiful house that one of V´s friend owns. Karen is a beautiful lady and I already wish I could just sit down one day and have a good heart.to.heart.talk with her. She beams love and it just radiates out of her... :) Well, the night was short, I didnt sleep at all. Maybe 2-3 hours all together and the next morning we left the place around 6:30 am. 6 girls, hair and make up. So we needed the time obviously. And time we had. I was the first to have my hair done and I loved it. It was exactly what I wanted and it actually stayed the same all through the wind and rain and sun and tears and laughter and etcetc. So Im happy for that. Plus I got my make up done (2nd time in my life, 1st time was when I graduated high school). Loved it! ;) I felt like a princess. A friend of mine told me y-day I looked like a president´s wife. Ihhi. Sure.
So at 12.am V walked down the aisle to get married to Chris. He is great. He loves V so much and I could not want to better husband to her. The love they share is beautiful and glowing. I hope to have the same one day. The love that never fades and leaves. I know it is a work behind it, but love is patient, love is kind, love does not envy, it is not selfish... :) I love that passage in Bible. It is how it should be. ...so God loved the world... Everyone knows John 3:16! :) So Im happy for my sister. She married the man of her dreams. I cant wait to get married but Im also good right now.
I have to say that in some ways it wasnt easy for me to see her getting married. I think you know I was engaged as well. And it didnt end at the aisle. And Im ok with that coz I know God has a reason for everything. You know, there is a time to laugh and a time to cry. :) My time will come. And then He has prepared me for him and he is prepared for me. Im not the easiest girl to handle but Im worth it! ;)
So after the teary-ceremony we headed to take tons of pictures everywhere. I tell you, it was cold. Freezing outside. And V didnt allow us to wear anything on top of the dresses. Oh V, strong as she is and quite demanding sometimes. ;) But I love her the way she is. With all her flaws and goods. The bridesmaids looked stunning. Oh and V, she was like a princess, like a lady out of a movie. I had never seen a prettier dress. NEVER!! And Chris, in his white suit. What a man! :) And the groomsmen, not bad, not bad at all. I could go on and on about diff people on that day but I was mostly impressed by the photographer. What an incredable couple Sherry and David are. I cant wait to see their pictures. And Scott, u weren´t bad too! ;) ;)
So the party. It was fun. Good food, laughter, dancing, songs. I did 2 songs. They were so not my style, but I gave my best and I have videos in my comp. Im just thinking if I should or should not post them! We will see...
So she is married now. And on her honeymoon. And Im not sure when I will see my beautiful sister again. I hope soon. :)
Saturday. Well, on Friday, at a wedding party, we were introduced to an Estonian family who lives in Canada and they invited us over. So we went there to have a good food and good time. At one point when we were about to leave, K suddenly invited me to see a real American football match. Though I was crazy-tired I went. I had never seen a big stadium and that kind of a football and I actually enjoyed it. I was outside 6-7 hours and that was the sucky part but other then that, fun people and fun times. :)
So yesterday was spent crying and saying goodbyes and packing. And here I am, back to Wales in 30 minutes (haha, it took me some time to write that blog) and back to my family. Toilets are waiting! ;)
Alright, we are about to land soon and Im starting to feel sick in my stomach so its time to finish. Hope you enjoyed my part of the story!
Love, Kirsi.

Vahel...
Kirjutasin selle blogi eile lennukis. Peale seda juhtus midagi. Ma ei räägi sellest. Aga selle blogi tahan ikkagi siia kopida. Meeldetuletuseks rasketes hetkedes, kui HEA Jumal meil on!
09. 10. 2011. Lennukis UK-st Kanadasse.
Oma praeguse blogi kirjutan ma taevas. Ok, tegelikult lennukis, aga ikkagi taevas ju! ;) Kell on UK aja järgi 17:16 ja Kanada aja järgi 12:16. Mul on jäänud veel umbes 3 tundi lennukis ja olen olnud juba 4 tundi. Faktid faktideks, aga olen rahul. Väga rahulik lennujaamakogemus, rahulik lend, rahulik toit (ok väga rasvane toit, aga suhtkoht ok) ja rahulik seat-companion (ma tõesti ei tea, kuidas seda eesti keeles öelda). Olen ülipõnevil. Eesti keeles on raske väljendada oma põnevust ja igatsust oma perega kohtuda. Tegelikult on kirjapildis üldse seda raske teha. Juba 3-4 tunni pärast näen oma pisi Essut (nägin viimati 3,5 kuud tagasi) ja mitte nii pisi Vaarut (nägin viimati 1 aasta ja 9 kuud tagasi). Aeg läheb liiga ruttu. Ja hea on, et läheb, sest juba ma olen lennukis ja juba varsti ma saan neid kallistada ja kindlasti pisaraid valada...
Ja eilne jutuajamine emmega tõi mul peaaegu pisarad silma juba... Haha ja seda kõike kartulisalati pärast, mis mind TÄNA ootab! Jehhuu ja jabadabaduu. Olen küll 24, ja üksi elanud juba üle 4 aasta, aga see ei tähenda, et emme tehtud toidud maailma parimad poleks. ON JA KUIDAS VEEL ON!!! :) :) Oh seda õnne. Saan emme leiba ja salatit, kas on veel midagi paremat? Issi kalli, emme musi, Essu ja Vaarikas ja nüüd kartulisalat ka! Täiuslik kooslus! ;) Ja juba varsti kohtun Vaari tulevase perega! Ma olen veits ärevuses, aga hea, et emm-iss rajasid teed mulle ka... Olen ikkagi nende tütar! :D haha.
Nii, kirjutaks siis veidi oma maailmamatkast. Alustasin nädal aega tagasi, kui rong viis mind ja Susit lennujaama UK-s ja edasi lennukiga Saksamaale. Olin seal 5 päeva ja reedel tagasi UK-sse, Manchesteri. Aeg Saksas oli huvitav. Raske. Pisaraterohke. Rõõmus. Naljakas. Lühike. Musikaalne. Läksin ühtede ootustega ja hoopis teised asjad juhtusid. Isa sai mu südant parandada kohas, kus ma ei oleks aimanudki, et veel katki olen. Ma ei hakka ütlema, mis CD-st sai. Ei taha sellest veel rääkida. Küll see tuleb omal ajal. ok? :)
Nägin Weselis, et ei taha ikka suurlinnas elada. Ja Saksamaale ei taha mingi hinna eest kolida. Haha, pole ikka mu koht. Külas on hea käia, aga muu... Nope.
Susi pere on armas. Mr. Aldi rokib ikka täiega. (Aldi on pood, kust Gernoti arvates saab kõike osta ja kõik on seal parim ja nii kutsubki pool maailma teda juba Mr.Aldiks). Ja Melanie maalias mulle maailma kõike ilusama pildi mälestuseks. See läheb Balas mu seinale. Ja SUSI.... Tema on nagu vanem õde, keda mul kunagi olnud pole. Imeline naisterahvas. Oma vigadega nagu me kõik. Aga suure südamega! ;)
Nii, tagasi UK-s, võttis Robert mind lennujaamast peale. Edasi läksime nn. külalistemajja, kus mul oli paar tundi aega puhata ja siis läks põnevaks. Tegin end ilusaks (ok, ma olen niisama ka ilus, aga seekord oli põhjust seelikut kanda, kontsad välja otsida ja meik pähe teha, soengust rääkimata) ja mind viidi R+V poolt restorani, kus ma söin suppi ja magustoiduks maailma parimat kooki, mis oli läbi immutatud kaneelises-rummis vms. Edasi teatrisse muusikali "TOP HAT" vaatama. Nii, siin saavad mul sõnad otsa. Ok, päris ei saa, aga... see oli midagi IMELIST. Maagilist, midagi erilist. Ma olen siiamaani vaimustuses. Parim teatrielamus siiamaani. Parim. Suurepärane. Lihtsalt... haha, ma olen vist sõnu hakanud kaotama, ei oska edasi kirjeldada... Muusikalid on ikka minu teema. Pean rohkem end kursis hoidma.
Eilse päeva veetsin suhteliselt nina raamatus, sest väljas sadas TERVE PÄEVA! Kordagi ei jäänud sadu pidama ja nii komberdasingi mööda suurt maja ja otsisin tegevust. Leidsin hea raamatu, mille aga pidin pooleli jätma, sest polnud minu varandus! ;)
Mis siis veel. Täna oli vara ülesse, ok, ma olin vist ootusärevuses. Ja Mary viis mind lennujaama, edasi check-in jms, veidi ootamist ja siin ma olen. Kanada poole teel. Juhuu. Nii, et kui sa seda blogi loed, siis arvatavasti ma olen juba oma perega ja naudin iga hetke.
Aga on veel midagi, millest ma EI SAA üle ega ümber minna. ISA SOOSING, arm, hoidmine. Ma olen nagu kätel kantud olnud viimane nädal. Kõik toimuks nagu vati sees. Mind on nii ülekülluslikult rahadega õnnistatud. Toiduga õnnistatud. Sõpradega. Sõitudega. Toomiste-tulemistega. Kõik on ette ja taha ära tehtud. Ja ma tunnen end kui printsessina. Ainult suured kleidid ja tiaarad on veel puudu. Uhuh. Imeline. Tean, et kui lähen nüüd Kanadasse, siis saan oma pere ka toetada, tean, et nad on seal hoitud, kuid tean ka, et mu emme tahab šhoppama ja kellega oleks veel parem minna, kui minuga! ;) eh? ;) Ja issi, kui sa loed, ära muretse, ma ei jäta sind ka välja! Olen Taevase Issi tütar, õnnistatud ja soosingu all!
Huh, päris lahe on eesti keeles üle pika aja kirjutada. Tunnen, et pean oma juured ikka all hoidma. Olen eestlane ja alati jään ka eestlaseks. Walesis elamine ei muuda minu sünnitunnistust. Ja inglise keeles rääkimine ja kirjutamine ei muuda minu südant, mis armastab Eestit! :)
Ps! Päike on terve lennu aja mind aknast tervitanud! Nii mõnus on! Olen küll tsipa väsinud, aga tuju on hea ja muretsema ei pea.
Pilved. Nii suured ja valged,
Kohevad, pehmed ja malbed.
Vaatavad mind ja vaatavad üles.
Teavad, "Printsess turvaliselt Issi süles."
Päike, nii soojalt mind kallistab.
Sosistab: "Su Issi sind armastab!"
Naeratan, tean, see on tõde.
Varsti näen oma kahte õde.
Ta on näinud mu südameigatsust.
On varustanud.
On õnnistanud.
Olen kui kätel kantud.
Vaatan. Sellel lennukil on tiivad.
Mõtlen. Kuhu nad mind viivad?
Tean. Ta on kinkinud mulle pere.
Ja valanud selle eest Oma vere!
Tänu. Mu südames elab üks tänu.
Ja aina kasvab mu janu...
Ma ei karda.
Miks peaksin, kui oled minuga. Alati.
Kõik kuningad armastavad oma printsesse.
Aitäh, et oled valinud mind enda omaks.
Alati!
Pilved. Nii suured ja valged.

Without...
We cannot do and be nothing without HIM. Nothing. And everything matters with Him.
HELP. I need help. I really do. Please pray for me and Susi. We have 2 days left to record and we are so desperate for God to show up. Coz if He doesnt then we dont want to JUST sing the songs. ok. We want to worship. HIM.
Day 201: This naughty mosquito
But other then that, well, Susi has a birthday today, YAAAAY, go Susi! She is wondeful and this day is her day even though she is tired as well.
We already tried to record something BUT of course just when you try to do something good, something unexpected happens. Well, there we were, just starting, when some workers decided to cut this huge tree outside our window. JEEHEUUU.. So I guess no recording for today, they have been on it for 4,5 hours by now. Stopping for 2 minutes and then starting all over again. Oh well. Daddy HELP! I mean it, we need help!!! Big time! :)
Alright. Cant wait to see what Daddy has for us. He is always GOOD. Always. :)
And Im enjoying Germany! It is good to be here. A family to be with is always always good! :) And only 4 more days til my flight to CANADA! :P
