Rachel Haapanen

Hello! I'm Rachel. I live with these two awesome guys, the first being my husband/ best friend and the second being the adorable boy we made together/ my other best friend! It wasn't always that way though. I used to live in Hawaii. Then I met a certain someone from Finland who stole my heart and now I've lived the last 7 years of my life in the magical land of Finland. Has it been a struggle? You bet! Have I wanted to move back to Hawaii? Absolutely! But God has us here for a reason and when you're where God wants you, you're in just the right place regardless of where the location is on a map or where the rest of your family lives. Our boy, who was a huge answer to prayer, has been one of the biggest blessings in my life and has made living in Finland a joy. So we've set up our homestead. We're putting down roots into the Finnish soil. Come along for our adventures...
