I started my Project 365 but failed miserably. On the plus side, I convinced my friend Janne to start the project with me and he kept at it the whole year!

I started a project to minimize my wardrobe and ended up getting rid of 95% of my clothes.

I co-founded a company.

I went surfing to Panama with Matias, Ville and Mikko.

I drank way too much beer at Oktoberfest with Leslie, Ross and Josh.

We finally got our office.

I got to celebrate the Christmas with my entire family and my nephew/godson who turned 1 this Christmas.

I started the redesign of this site but never finished.

Here's to a great 2012!!!

My little puppy is turning 1 year old today! Can’t believe it! As a birthday gift we went to one of his favorite places: the pet store. He got his favorite sausages, a new toy and a new juicy bone.

A lot has happened since the beginning of march when I flew to Frankfurt to first meet him. Fire has grown from a tiny, little bit shy Aussie gentleman to all grown up, confident Aussie heartbreaker. He has made a ton of new friends and got to experience his first summer. He has learned a ton of new tricks and sniffed a ton of butts. As a dog and a friend, I couldn’t be more happy with how everything has gone so far with Fire. Big thanks for all of this goes to his human mother for such a great upbringing and for continues support and tips.

Here are few photos of Fire:

Matias and Saara just made official that they got engaged. Story goes that Matias already popped the question while we were in San Diego but they officially told everyone (read: posted it on Facebook) yesterday. Congratulations!

Love you guys.

Last friday five of us – Anna, Saara, Matias, Janne and me – took a flight from Helsinki to New York. Our mission: drive across the great U.S. of A. The planned route would take us from New York to San Diego in eleven days. In San Diego we have a familiar rented house waiting for us in Cardiff-by-the-Sea.

The day we departed from Finland was the annual Midsummer fest but also Janne’s 30th birthday. The trip started with few drinks at the Helsinki airport for Janne’s honor. As we were flying against the time, we also managed to drink for his honor the same day in New York.

The girls have planned and taken care of all the running errands such as hotel bookings, car renting, where to go and million other details. Janne and Matias got the navigation and maps all covered. All in all we seems to be running like a well oiled machine.
