Hej från Sverige!

Yep, I am freezing my toes off up North in the land that gave us H&M, ABBA, and IKEA. In a few days, we are catching a 16-hour night ferry to Helsinki, Finland to spend a couple of days there before grabbing the ferry back to Stockholm and heading back to Berlin. Which seems downright toasty compared to this Arctic place.

But I have someone here to keep me warm. The someone I plan to marry in just three short months.

He gave me a beautiful ring yesterday, by the way. Two silver bands crossed and soldered together.

Sometimes it amazes me that I have found someone who knows me so well.

Except for today, he learned about my unfortunate finger and toe situation passed down from my mama, where they freeze in the tiniest drops in temperature. But the trooper that he is, he gave my feet a rubdown right in the Central Station.

That's love, I have to say. Especially since I was wearing yesterday's socks.
