http://mycity-whatreallyhappens.blogspot.com/ | | Served: 1994 - 1995 | Language(s) spoken:Russian | Areas Served: Ufa, Samara, Saratov | Your Occupation: Registered Nurse | Spouse: Sergei Ivanov(pilot) | Comments: What a life-changing experience the Russia Samara Mission was!!! I am grateful nearly every day for the people I met, the experiences I had, and the lessons I learned.
Currently I am a sedation nurse working for a hospital in Anchorage, Alaska (Amazingly enough, there is a huge Russian population here, and I use my Russian regularly at work). I married Sergei Ivanov in 1997, and we are currently in the process of separating. Life, as we all know, is full of unexpected surprises, some wonderful, some difficult. Since we married in 1997 we have lived from as far north as Anchorage, and as far south as Houston, TX, and many places in-between. However, when I had the chance to return to Anchorage for work, I couldn't pass it up--it's the closest thing there is for me to home.
I have two amazing boys. Spencer, age 12, who was born with cerebral palsy and has been through a record 7 surgeries, but who now attends regular school, walks without any assistance, and is for the most part a normal kid (It's taken a lot of work/therapy/etc., to get to this point, however...). My second son, Nickolai, is nearly 4 years old, and as he loves to tell everyone, was born in an ambulance. There's an experience I'd like to not repeat!! However, my boys bring me more happiness than anything in the world, and I feel very grateful for the opportunity to raise them.
Well, that's the short version of the past 15 or so years....there's a lot more, but probably most of it is boring, and/or not really worth repeating. So, drop me a line and tell me how you are!! |
