My short history.

• I was born in Kazakhstan and lived there for 6 years
• Lived in Germany for 3 years.
• Lived in Russia (Kaliningrad) 4 years.
• Moved to Washington in 2003
• My fathers side consists of mostly Germans, however my  grandma is Chuvash.
• My mothers side is Russian and Ukrainian.
• My last name is German, i prefer to speak Russian so i say I'm half German, half Russian. :)
• German was my first fluent language.
• When people ask me where am i from, i don't know what to answer.
• My parents had 9 kids, I'm the 7th child.
• 6 boys and 3 girls. (girl, 2 boys, girl, 2 boys, girl, 2boys, in that order.)
• My oldest sister is 33 my youngest brother is 14.
•  In 2006 my two older brothers died in a car accident. Vasiliy and Alex.
• My brother Alex and I went to 1st through 6th grade together. i went to school early.
• In 2008 i got baptized. graduated. got my license.
• In 2009 i got married to my boyfriend since 2005.
• To this day I've been married for 625 days.
• In October 2009 my mom passed away, for several medical reasons.
• By 2010 it was just my father and my two younger brothers left in the house. Dad got married.
• I moved to California in 2011, mostly because i needed to get away and start somewhere fresh, where i wont be constantly reminded of the loss of my mom and my brothers. I need to try to be happy. My husband and i got a chance to move and we took it, while we could.
• This year i found out i might never be able to have children, the only thing that calms me down is knowing that my husband is by my side just like he has been. I now realize that he has been my brother when i needed my brothers, my mother when i missed my mom so much, my family when i needed them and the best husband i could ever wish for.
• I am currently unemployed.
• I obsess over trees. autumn is my favorite season.
• I love to draw and paint.
• Life=music.

So here is a little bit about me, i figured this might help people understand my posts a little bit better in the future. I know God has a plan for everything, and no matter how hard life can get it is still so beautiful and i am thankful to be alive.
