Marry an American: our love story
'09.10.2017'
I remember myself as a little girl. We lived in a communal apartment on the outskirts of Moscow. I went to a regular school, studied very mediocre, did not consider myself a beauty and lived in general like everyone else “in the area”. Such an average girl from Brateevo ...
But even then I dreamed of more! I remember falling asleep, I dreamed of traveling! About small European cities, as I will walk through the cobbled streets and smile.)
After the Nth number of years, I walked around these towns and recalled my childhood dreams.
I clearly remember the moment when my awareness changed. It happened in Goa, in our first winter, with my not yet husband. That summer of 2010 of the year was amazing in every way ...
First, I was laid off at work, by the way, my first and last official employment. I have been working as an economist for almost 4 years. So, on June 1, I found myself unemployed. I didn't want to look for a new job in the office, I had to trust the Universe. Which I did - and in early July I flew to Greece with my friends! This turned out to be my last vacation as a free girl.
Upon arrival, I met with one friend. Word for word, it turned out they needed a girlfriend to work at the exhibition with a friend. I saw this friend of him a couple of times, exactly a year ago in a common company. In general, I came for an interview to my future husband.
The fact that this is a future husband, I, of course, did not suspect! We talked, it turned out he broke up with his girlfriend a week ago and now lives with friends, but he has already found where to move - we will live across the bridge from each other. I thought, well done, well done. ))
After some time we began to meet, somehow imperceptibly for me! After all, I did not have a love at first sight. As it turned out later, he liked me even at the first meeting, then a year ago! It was interesting for me to communicate with him, but he completely won me over by the fact that he was interested in various spiritual and esoteric topics.
Needless to say, he met all the “important points” that I thought of? ) By the way, the project for which the interview was held did not take place.
I am still unemployed and looking for myself. After another conversation with Alex, I decided that I should go to study as an image maker! And then, like in a movie - we go to a business dinner and there we meet a stylist who conducts training! Here it is the power of intention in action.)) I studied for about 2 months, learned the basics of image making. We made a website for me, and I had time to practice a little! It was autumn, it was already getting colder and I wanted “the summer not to end”. Around October, Alex spoke at a conference where we met Dima. He talked about wintering in Asia, and we listened and dreamed how cool it was!
We really wanted to go in winter to summer, but at that time there was no financial freedom, there were different fears of “suddenly what” and, in fact, there was only desire and zeal. My husband was just starting his career as a producer and it was not known what awaited us tomorrow. But the project he was working on went off, and we went to India to put the 4-hour workweek theory of Timothy Ferris to the test. Somewhere under the palm trees, the husband really did not work much, but he quickly realized that what he was doing brought him pleasure! And he does not perceive his work as an “obligation”. By the way, everyone around there understood this, because he did not shut up.
In Goa, at first we lived like ordinary tourists. We arrived on a "tour package", went on excursions and lived in a hotel. By the way, there was no Instagram yet, at least we did.)) All information about free travel was only on the forums, and that was rather crumpled. Therefore, everything was interesting and unusual!
Our new friends invited us to a party at “Liquid sky”To celebrate Catholic Christmas - and so, shortly before midnight, Alex decided to propose to me. To say that it was unexpected is to say nothing! At that time we were together for 4 months. I, of course, said yes, but the next morning I asked if he had changed his mind? He didn't change his mind.)
