I included also few pictures taken from home window :) Cool, feels like home in Estonia ;) Last Saturday we went to ski :) .. SnowWorld Landgraaf in Holland.

Anyhow, in Landgraaf it was cold and the pictures will show it, my nose is red. See more pictures HERE :) Unfortunately, for one our friend Stefanie it didnt end so good.

Hey all, Just got some pictures from my last contest in Belgium. See this LINK Oh yeah, my birthday present from Guy was also fantastic. After we left Bill's Gym, we relaxed all afternoon and evening in SPA ('t Minaral ).

Kahjuks ma ise sinna minna ei saa, aga Eestis elavale seltskonnale on see lähemal ja soovitan soojalt kuna see on ülivõimas motivaator edasisteks treeninguteks :) Lähem info on SIIN. Ootan siis Pärnu rahva... eelkõige Kimberi Klubi liikmete osavõttu!! :) Enjoy your weekend and God Bless you!! Your Gerbel :)

Hello, I thought to give you just a small note about the results of my flemisch language exam. It was STANAG 1.1. Ik ben geslaagd. It means i passed and i got 110 points from 120 possible. Not bad, though i could have done better LOL. Need to study more :) Next course 1.2 starts on 14 Nov and lasts till the end of January, I wish after that i can already use the language more often as i should have then more vocabulary ;) Till now i still use a little sayings and sentences only in my daily bases. Should use it more often but it seems so slow when i start to talk that i loose my patient ;) LOL So we had a small morning party at school today and some of the pictures :) On a group photo you will find our teacher, Johan (see the smallest guy in the middle), actually Johan is something 1.90cm tall guy.. LOL There are 2 pictures where you can see girls in our class .. nice haaa :) ... and there are also a picture of me and Lesley from UK. She was good, she got 118 points from 120.. congrat...

Hello my dear friends, Now im married woman, Gerbel Mikk-Poortmans. Who still doesnt know, on 17 of October i got married with lovely belgian guy, Guy Poortmans, in Wilrijk-Antwerpen, Belgium. In Estonian magazine "Kroonika" there is an article about us, how we met ;) ..though it is in Estonian.

Seems like a fairy tale. The wedding was very lovely in one small castle, as simple as it could be. On 17th my day started already 0630am, did my make-up and went to hair dresser. Wedding was at 10.45 am and followed by lunch-dinner reception in near by restaurant "Den Bourgondier" with our witnesses, Guy's parents and relatives. Unfortunatly, my best friend Aire couldnt c...
