Oh, Chicago. What a lively, captivating, energizing, and humid place you are. Like most metropolitan cities, you’re a melting pot of people and cultures and traditions.

If you ask me if I love living in Colorado, I will tell you, yes. It’s been almost ten years and this place has changed the trajectory of my life. We’ve had our up and downs, of course, but that’s the nature of any relationship. I’ve found my closest friends, a stable job, the love of my life, and a perpetual growth that keeps me in a constant state of change.

My husband was born and raised in Hyvinkää, Finland. That’s approximately 5,000 miles from where I grew up. Like most Finns, he’s kind, inquisitive, and very smart. He’s creative and loves music. He’s impressively sociable, except when it comes to strangers in elevators. True to his roots, he embraces cold weather. The mountains are always calling, and skiing is a daringly effortless activity.
