Hey!!

Hello, blog readers!

I'm getting a bit lazy about writing lately. I've gotta get better at it!! School is going well, I turned in my first essay yesterday.

This last weekend, my bf and I went to Bandon again for a few days. It was so awesome! We stayed at his sister's place and went crabbing, which failed because it was way too windy and the crabs were too small. Rented movies, ate great food. Slept in late.

Sadly, I didn't take many pictures, just a few and I still haven't looked at them. I'll do that tonight.

One of these days, we are going to drive through the whole west coast and stop in towns and browse. I know for sure that it's going to be awesome. I will for sure take lots of pictures and make a collage out of them.

In the meantime, I just gotta write more, go to my class and constantly look for a job. Tomorrow, I'm going to go in to the local Employment Department and require about a certain job that I am interested in.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

I found this very recently and so glad I did because there aren't many pictures of us when we were younger

Busy, Lazy, Awesome, Warm Days

Hello, blog readers. It's been a while since I've written - I have no excuses. Just haven't been up to it to write anything. Even though I have had nice days.

I have started college - taking a writing class. It will be my second week of classes on Tuesday. I have already received my first essay assignment which is due on the 15th. It's a compare/contrast essay and I will be writing about both sets of my parents - my biological and adoptive parents. I will be comparing and contrasting the life styles, their ways of discipline and beliefs.

Friday, my bf and our two friends went shooting. I made potato salad and delicious barbecue chicken wings. It was an awesome day - shot an AR15, a glock 40, a .44 magnum - which was an awesome gun and I handled it really well.

That same day, we went over to someone else's place and I met a few more of my bf's friends and we had a great time.

I have started a professional page of my photography - I want to sell some of my work and get more of a variation of photography such as senior pictures, family photos, and newborn.

Here's a link to my page: Disney Photography

I'm so glad that it's getting warmer and nicer outside. I can't wait till summertime - because it's going to be absolutely awesome. So many activities are already planned for the summer, I'm super excited.

Well, that's it for today, I will try to write more often than I have been.

Oh! by the way, I got a gun - it's a revolver. And an awesome one at that! And it didn't cost me a single cent :D

Week/Weekend

Hey All!!!!

 Last week I went to California with my dad. Left on Tuesday and came back Thursday - it was a short trip, but I had a pretty good time.

We went to the Russian stores in Sacramento, and I got candy, mushrooms, smoked salmon and sunflower seeds. I love Russian food - a lot of the time WAY more than American. In my opinion, Russian candy tastes a lot better than American - each individual piece has it's own taste. Also, the sunflower seeds are roasted and unsalted - just the way I like them. The mushrooms are marinated and the salmon is smoked and absolutely delicious. My bf liked all except for most of the Russian candy.

I was glad when we came back home, because for one, I missed my bf and two, my aunt and cousin were visiting from California, so I wanted to visit with them.

Also, Friday evening, my bf and I had a friend over and we had quite a bit of fun bowling on the wii.

I have a super bad-ass picture to share with you guys :D

Guns are my thing - and someday I will own a few. Definitely an AR15 and some other sweet ones. 

Falls Creek Falls

Here are the pictures I promised of the hike from Saturday!

Absolutely lovely sound

I had a wonderful day on Saturday what with the hike and the photo shoot...

The water was really cold, but so refreshing. K waded in the water and came right out because it was so cold.

Beautiful flowers as well

Gorgeous Day

Hello, blog readers! I'm sorry that I haven't written in a few or so days.... There have been days that I have been way too tired, and yes, too lazy to write.

It's been really good few or so days. My boyfriend and I are doing great, doing things together and not slacking off when something needs to be done. He loves my cooking (as do I, honestly) and he gets me treats and we clean up after a big mess. Take small trips to the waterfalls - like today. We went to the Falls Creek Falls and I took a "few" pictures. I can't ever take a few pictures, it always ends up being like 50 - but today I only took about half that. I'll post a few on here.


Also, today, my little sister and I had a photo shoot and she went all professional and took really good pictures of me. I wore a long black dress and the outcome of the pictures is amazing. My sister is a really good photographer!

Here are a few of the pictures - I'm not going to post all of them - way too many!

This was an unexpected picture

My cat, Sunny, joined us as well

the design on the dress

Guys, I'm sorry, but for some extremely odd reason, I am having a hard time uploading the pictures from the falls. I will have to try again tomorrow - they're really beautiful.

Anyways, I've had a long, fun and awesome day and I'm tired. So buenas noches!!

America

It has been 9 years since my younger sister and I were adopted. Today is out anniversary. So many things have happened.

We learned English and the American customs, while holding on to our Russian roots and language and customs. 

We were schooled and have been through ups and downs. 

Gotta say, I'm thankful to my parents for giving us a chance to get a good education, learn work experiences, and know so many other things that we otherwise would have not been able to know about. 

Our life in Russia has given us a good idea of what life can do to people. Life choices are important, especially if they are going to affect other people in the long run. 

Super Awesome Day

Hey guys!! Long time no.... nope, no right word to finish that sentence :p

Sorry, I haven't written in a few days. Honestly, I didn't feel like it and not much happened that I wanted to talk about.

BUT!!! Today was a totally awesome day!!!!

My boyfriend and I went shooting. And bowling. Shooting an ar15. That gun is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! I don't think I have enough e's in that " sweet" to tell you how awesome that gun is. I have a few photos to share and a video... that is, if I can upload it. If not, then I will share it to youtube and you'll see it from there.

Don't I look super bad ass? :D

After shooting, K and I went bowling. It was my very first time bowling, and I must say, I did pretty well for the first time. My final score was 99. He beat me. His was 150. Next time.... next time, I will beat him. For sureeeee! :)

This was a lot of fun! 

it's upside down, but you can still see me shooting

After bowling, we went to various stores and just goofed off a little. We have a lot of fun - roaming in the stores and finding stuff to goof off about. He's awesome.
