Congratulations!!!

I just wanted to give a shout out to my sister, Marina, who got married on August 8th! We had a great weekend-- lots of family and friends were in from out of town and we had a great time helping Beth build the floral arrangements and getting all the other details ready for the big day! Everything was just beautiful. Marina is now living in her new house with her husband in Youngstown, OH, where James is working at the Air force base and Marina is preparing to go to the Aveda Institute in January. Love you guys!!!

all growed up

He was just 3 when he became apart of our family and now, he's in the band as a high school freshmen. He plays the marching Baritone! I can't believe how fast time has flown and how giant Vitaly has gotten in the past few years. A full blown car-loving, boy-scouting, All-American boy, I think he's actually down in the basement right now playing Game Cube.
I just had to share this picture with all of you. Now, I'm a crier, but when I saw this, I seriously welled up. He looks so handsome!

Things are coming along nicely with wedding planning and moving plans. In a few weeks, Evan and a few of his friends will be loading up a moving truck and hauling all of my stuff (and his left-over stuff that is still in Pittsburgh) down to our new condo in Winter Park, FL. Last week I met with the wedding coordinator at the church, the event planner at the restaurant, and my florist and everything seems to be go!

One month to go :-)
