Congrats!

Hehehe.. I love it!!! But no.. he isn't into me pegging him at all.. yet.. he does find my collection of toys quite stimulating. There's definitely hope for him yet.

Haha... a "collection" of toys is always stimulating. There is hope for us all!

My last day in the states will be September 6th... as I will board a flight in Chicago that afternoon and fly to Stockholm. We are going to meet there on the 7th, and then take the lovely overnight cruise to Helsinki. If you have never taken this one, it is very lovely and romantic -- more one of our short cruise-type ships than a ferry. We will have 14 quiet hours at sea before arriving home. Then it is tackle the red-tape time for the first of our stops before we can be legally married (and I have a residence permit). I can hardly wait for this adventure to begin... The house isn't sold yet, but my best friend here will take care of all the loose ends before she flies to Finland for the wedding.

So, my mind is trying to grasp this concept.. that I will miss all the hysteria surrounding 9/11... that English will no longer be my primary language.. that in less than 2 weeks I will be in my new home and won't have to worry about missing my return flight!

I don't expect many changes on my websites - My PO Box here in Texas is paid through next summer, and my best friend can always deposit any checks for me. I will be keeping my US Bank account active at least until I can establish a Finnish account or find out more what I can and can't do. I did just get TGPX and have been messing with that, so things will actually improve shortly... I hope.

Thanks from me and Petri (new husband) on all the good wishes...
