Me: Louis, Chicago
Her: Natalya, Kemerovo, Siberia
We met in December 2002 and in person in Feb. 2003 for a week in Siberia. What a great experience! Many emails and phone calls we met again in Prague for 2 weeks and I knew she was the one. We were married in Agust 2003 in Kemerovo, Siberia, her hometown. Another awesome experience!! Started the K-3 process after I returned from Russia in September 2003. We met twice more in Russia after our wedding, in October for my birthday and November, over Thanksgiving. For X-mas 2003, we met in Nice, France and traveled to Barcelona and Madrid. In all, we have had 4 honeymoons! I will travel to Russia again in March for the interview and we will come back to Chicago together!
So all told, I have flown 70k miles since Feb 2003, visited Siberia twice, Moscow 4 times, St.Petersbburg, Prague, Nice, Barcelona, and Madrid in the last 14 months and it has been worth every minute and penny!
Please do not hesitate to contact me about the process we are all going through.
