Always to the stars
year 2015 is about to end in counted hours and I am happy to welcome 2016 with open arms and mind. So many things have been changed, and the most important, they are still changing, so progress is in mode.
I think it is thoughtful to write down little sum of 2015 and last couple of weeks living back in London. As you all know beginning of 2015 bring into my life a new country to live. 14th of January I flied first time to UK, London, to start my life here. So that challenged was accepted and completed. Didn't took long time, while I found myself back in California, home. 10th of August was that glossy happy day. I learned a lot. About myself, - the most. New path came thru close friends, mind - and heart opening crosswalk. It has been absolutely the most joy able way to walk so far, I do not say it is easy, it is challenging, but to get to know yourself, admitting who you are now and who you wanna be tomorrow and right now, is so freaking amazing experience. Therefor I see that this is the life. My life. I wanna live now, in a moment, appreciate and see all my little mood changes, reactions of different situations and all my emotions towards friends, family, new people, art & all my passions. I do not wanna wait to wait for tomorrow to make steps.
But, but, but..2015 was a year when my lioness got married.
And we got a change to organise bachelorette.
Had a great photoshoot with dear friend Mark and fun night with Estonian beauties
dress - check
First wedding in my life and guys, I can say that it was incredible experience. As you know, Liisu is my best one, little tiny soulmate with her big heart and fluffy moods. So all together we went hunt down the wedding dress, picked up the little important gifts to bride, backed pizzas and Estonian cuisine at the wedding morning, met the both parents, drove together with bride and her mom and dad to the beach to have a ceremony next to pacific waves under California sun, raised up glasses together to celebrate love.
Sugar, yes please :)
hurray! When she is happy, I am happy.
exactly so much fun we had
love love love
is it for LA?
And therefor update our memory book for Liisu
Yes, I still have a plan to upload tons of pictures about great times :) I know you do not mind.
So here we are, took my little lovies to Napa, to double celebrate their wedding. Put together great people and more than gorgeous nature, good wines to taste to enjoy the warm weekend.
Precious is then, when are two arms around the neck, obviously she is a Brilliant
And soon this lucky girl had a change to throw a art party for crazy hot mommies. Of course good wine was included and top of the top, we had tons of delicious food.
Mariaelena had an idea to cover one of her wall with little painted canvases and what could be the better way to make it happen - host your close fiends and let them drove you a pieces.

Luckily I had enough time to spend Halloween over US, and as far as you know then this place is crazy to celebrate. Had some new experience with kiddos and hot mommies at the daytime in San Carlos. Did basically Bank and shops hopping, which means that every bank, bar, restaurant, coffee and shop gives out candies on Halloween. Madness is was, but we handled as a superwomen.

Almost my last weekend we had a little sweet gathering to celebrate Lelet's birthday in Berkeley. Again, I met some really nice Estonians, who I only have heard here and there.
Angels :)
California that time gave me, again, so much, I got an answer, that this is my place, my home, my heart. So I do wanna thank you all of you, my sweet friends, who have been there for me, while I have been travelling back and fort the continents. I treasure you more than words can say.
My moving is still on, so in London, I work and train and being little sick here and there.

2016 is not even around the corner anymore.
My 2015 have been extreme here and there, full of up and down emotions. In new year it is time to settle down after years of travels :).
So let's send a way 2015 with the best memories, let's leave negative notes and take only the positive and inspirational ones. Let's take a time for a moment to thank the people who came in our life, let's appreciate those little misunderstandings and moments, which in a big plan always teach us something new. Let's set new goals and let's work on them as hard as we can, because we all know that reward own the sweetest taste. Let's give a sweetest gift to world - smile.
All the wedding and bachelorette party picture gratitudes are going to my dear friend Mark, you can find his work here
HAPPY GORGEOUS FABULOUS SHINY NEW YEAR!
WITH LOVE,
- Silja
