Proposal in the Ukraine




Hello Family,


Well now I am back in the USA. I came home on Wednesday March 2nd after traveling all day. Some of you maybe heard that I went to the Ukraine to meet a wonderful women named Radmyla (or Rada for short). Rada and I had been talking everyday for hours via skype since I came home from training in Nov. She is 24 and will turn 25 in July. Rada lives in the city Dnipropetrovsk. She lives with her Mother Natashiya, step father Gana, brothers Ruslan and George. She has two sisters Christina (lives nearby) and her oldest sister Victoria (married lives in England. Rada speaks english, russian, and ukrainian. We have many goals and ideas in common. She loves her family and wants to have one of her own soon. On Valentine's Day Feb 14th I proposed to her and she said yes. I know this maybe sudden since I have not written anything on the blog but Rada and I are very happy. The biggest hurdle is for her visa. It could take about 6 months for her to get her visa for marriage. So the date of the wedding is not set yet until we know about the visa. I have included a couple of pics. One is of me and Rada and the send is of me, rada, ruslan, george, and christina with her baby. Hope all is well and I will write more soon.
