Beel,

I adored how AE went to Moscow to meet you :clapping:

Before the fast services to svo and dme were up and running, I used to take the Marshrutki and Metro services to cross Moscow. I have never seen Red Square.. :D

About mobilniks ... what is it about FSUW and mobile / cell phones....  they forget 'em, drop 'em, forget to charge them  or forget to pay the bill on time ... :D
Please excuse the Curmudgeon in my posts ..he will be cured by being reunited with his loved one ;)

The next days are spent in complete and total bliss.

I only have about 4 days clothes packed since the rest of the room was for
gifts and various stuff that I had promised to bring.

We plan to spend New Years with Sally and her son. We are bringing ice cream,
strawberries, and chicken that AE smothered in some kind of mustard sauce and
baked, champagne and of course cake.

We arrive and Sally who is naturally bubbly and cheerful is even more so since she
started making Martini's. NOTE: these are not the Martinis's that you think. It's some
kind of wine in a green bottle mixed with juice. They also have bottles of wine and
champagne open too.

Sally has other guests as well, including a very cute FSUW who we will refer to as
Stormy Eyes who cooked up an enormous table full of various delectable and delightful
dishes. 

Sally had an entire counter with various ingredients and was in the process of making
a Caprese salad I made some kind of seafood salad. I shelled, cleaned, deveined shrimp
and sauteed them in olive oil and garlic. Then made a salad and a salad dressing with
the shrimp on top for each person.

We toasted goodbye to 2013
We toasted hello to 2014
We toasted to everyones, health, happiness and pursuit of love.

Then before the stroke of midnight they turned on the TV to watch Putin's address to the
nation. After Putin's address an enormous firework display started up. Then the TV channel
became some kind of musical variety show with various stars ringing in the New Year and
offering toasts and songs.

I never mentioned before but AE is not much of a drinker and get's tipsy after one glass of
wine. She was happy, bubbly, giggly and more than a little bit tipsy.

The night ended late into the morning and with everyone in excellent spirits, we took a taxi
home.

Ain't that the truth, she has a million other positive attributes but the concept of time
and the concept of what it takes to keep your phone working aren't present.

I had 4 bids to finish and I woke up at 4:30 am and started working on them
some time in the morning Angel Eyes wakes up and starts rushing around cooking,
cleaning, arranging etc.

Today at some time Mamma, Pappa, Brother, Sister in Law and her niece are
all coming for dinner. I made seafood salads and Angel Eyes was cooking
up a storm and rushing around like her hair was on fire. Cleaning, cooking,
arranging etc.

I am in my underwear finishing the last bid and ding dong the door bell goes off.
 :o  :o  :o  :o  :o  :o 

Who is at the door? Angel Eyes calmly says Mamma, Pappa, Brother, Sister in
Law, her niece and Smiley Girl are downstairs. I sincerely thought she would
have given me 10 minutes notice to at least put on a pair of pants. So now I
get pants and a shirt on just as they are walking in the door.

Angel Eyes is still in fervent worker mode and seems more than a bit anxious.
I say hello to everyone, help everyone get their coats off and put away, then
I get everyone seated and go into the kitchen. Angel Eyes can prepare a whole
rash of various things simultaneously. Her hands were flying, and she seemed
very stressed, I rubbed her shoulders and said spokoynoy, spokoynoy and it did
seem to calm things down a bit.

I got Niece and Smiley girl in charge of setting the table. I made Martini's
(Wine mixed with Juice) for the adults and we had Sparkling cider for the kids
and pregnant Sister in Law and brother who was driving. 

I got the cornucopia of food stuffs that Angel Eyes had created from scratch
put together on the table and I could see AE was finally starting to calm down.

Mamma had been watching me out of the corner of her eye the entire time.
Pappa made the first toast wishing us all a New Year, then other toasts followed.

Then I asked Smiley Girl to translate while I made a toast announcing that I had
met AE a year ago and that every moment from that day forward my life had been
better and better and I announced that Angel Eyes had agree to marry me and
spend the rest of her life with me1.

There were cheers, the wedding rings made a revolution of the table. Smiley Girl
who was translating made more noise than you think could come out a girl her
size.

For those of you who don't know Mamma, she is a bit of a hard sell on anything.
So far I had received at best a polite smile. I had my turned on my charm to full
brilliance and as the day went on I could see that I was slowly winning Mamma
over. Let me stress again I was S-L-O-W-L-Y winning her over.

Everyone enjoyed the food and festivities and they were getting ready to go and
Mamma announces that we will be visiting her for Orthodox Christmas Dinner at
12:00 sharp.

I got everyone's hats and coats assembled and they all leave. AE was totally
relaxed and happy. I thought that I made some good progress with Mamma
which I had been warned in advance repeatedly that it wouldn't be an easy
chore to do. 


 
1. How did I ask Angel Eyes to marry me? I had told her at least 50-60
times that I was going to marry her and that she was going to spend her
life with me and that we would live happily ever after. It was a foregone
conclusion that we both knew was going to happen. When I finally asked
her it was a bit anticlimactic but I got a nod, and a hug and a kiss.

Angel Eyes and I am told by Mamma that we will be
spending Russian Christmas with them and that we are to
arrive at noon.  :scared0005:

Angel Eyes is never on time for anything and Christmas was
no different. When we eventually arrived, everything was ready
and waiting. We got the hats, jackets, boots etc stowed and we
walked into the dining room to see a table piled with tasty food.




It took me several plate fulls of food before I had tried everything
and one salad I ate again and again.




So naturally I asked how it was made and all the females in the
room smiled at me. Angel Eyes eventually told me it was fish
penis salad or fish testicle salad (I never found out which it was).

 :o

Naturally I didn't believe them and they pulled out some fish
penis or testicles (not sure which) and showed them to me.




It's sturgeon penis or testicles which are huge fish.
I admit that it was very tasty and that I had several plates of the stuff.
Who knows how much I would have eaten if I had known first  :chuckle:

We ate and watched a movie where all the girls (even Mamma) cried
I didn't understand enough to get the entire thing. It was about some
Beautiful singer, who endures hardships and eventually becomes 
famous but has some kind of rehabilitating disease and fights through
it to sing tearful ballads and performances.

Eventually it was time to go, and Angel Eyes brother drove us. I
offered to fill up his gas tank, he had picked us up a number of
times but he said I was crazy and wouldn't accept anything.

I was worried a little bit that he would be offended that I offered,
he did drive us around, pick us up at the airport and was going
to drop us off there as well .

Gas isn't less expensive in Russia than USA (as far as I can tell)
However he didn't seem bothered by it.

I think my stock went up a few degrees with Mamma but she's a
tough sell.

The days fly by (they always do) and the time to head back approaches.

I always feel sad the day before and Angel Eyes always feels sad the day of
my leaving. For whatever reason all the airlines in Voronezh canceled their
flights to Moscow so I was stuck leaving the day before my Moscow flight
leaves.

I pack up my bag (I am beginning to wonder why I bother) and Angel Eyes
takes one look at the bag and repacks it.

I get on a bus (6 hours to SVO) they dump us off. We have to cross a road
with high speed drivers whizzing by, then I stay up all night for my morning
flight back to the Bakken Oilfields of Western North Dakota (21 hours).

The trip is pure agony, I hate traveling home (35 hours door to door) and
especially hate leaving Angel Eyes behind.

Angel Eyes (AE) and I talk everyday on Skype or the phone. Her internet
connection is occasionally too slow for a webcam and we get cut off
every two minutes. When that happens after trying to connect a dozen
times we resort to just voice or chatting by keyboard.

Angel Eyes applies for and gets a multi-year multi-entry USA tourist
visa and we start trying to make plans to meet asap. Of course Skype
seems to go haywire when we try to make any plans. Ticket prices are
going up each day and of course AE wants to help.

AE sends me every discount fare on the world wide web from Moscow to
either JFK or Dulles. The problem is that to buy a stand alone fare from
JFK to North Dakota is hundreds more than to package the entire trip 
together. Apparently there is nothing I can do to convey/translate this
in a way that she can understand.

I got up early this morning and have been working feverishly to get everything
wrapped up so that I could burn several hours often required to buy the tickets
today but after a dozen calls/sms to her cell phone I couldn't reach her.

AE was too vague about the day she could leave. She said she had Monday
off but does that mean she could leave the Friday night before? since she
almost always has Saturday and Sunday off? or should I buy the ticket for
Monday?  but then maybe she had Monday off because she agreed to work 
on the weekend?

I would hate to burn 2 days especially on the weekend that we could be
spending together.

Eventually she sends me an sms. She was chatting with Sally who is AJ's,
Larry's and my mutual friend, and just saw that she had all the calls and
sms.

I confirm the day she can fly out and purchase tickets for more than I'd
like ($1,388) but not too terrible considering she will be here in 18 days.
If I had known earlier when she would get her visa and what days she
had off I could have save $300 or so, but I could have made a much
bigger killing if I knew the results of the March Madness basketball
brackets in advance.

So, now I need to convert my bachelor pad into something considerably
less bachelor like and give everything a serious spring cleaning as well  ;D

We already started with fire hoses, wheel barrels, shovels and a rake this
weekend, so everything is man clean. Man clean is where you probably won't
require a penicillin or tetanus booster to enter the premises. We are still
quite a stretch from being women clean.

I will go buy more bleach, windex, and an assortment of scouring brushes
and solvents.

Edit to add:

AE is flying back to Voronezh with one day to spare before Smiley Girls birthday.
My original plan wouldn't have given AE enough time for this. I'm glad I waited
until she and Sally were done discussing gardening and toe polish and all the
vitally important stuff that took hours to discuss before I bought the tickets.

Down to nine more days and Angel Eyes will be here,

I've cleaned everything as well as two bachelors can do it.

Angel Eyes has this contraption that she uses for massage it
basically sends an electric stimuli under the skin. It feels a bit
like you have ants crawling around under your skin and she
swears that it will cure or kill whatever ails me.

I wouldn't let her do it but she is very insistent that this thing
is the very best thing since they stopped using leaches. I call
it Frankenstein because of the electrical element in it. Apparently
she is bringing Frankenstein with her. I won't remind her to use it 

She wants to see every square inch of the USA in the two weeks
that she will be here. I tried to explain that the US is a big place 
and far too big to see everything.

So far we have Yellow Stone, the Grand Canyon, Portland Oregon and
the Pacific Ocean (note only Yellow Stone isn't further than a thousand
miles away)

I'm going to need to get her site seeing goals down to a manageable list.
We can't see Niagara Falls and the Seattle Space Needle in the same day
without photo shop or time travel.

You might be able to.  But that would be going East to West.  Not the other way around.

It's 2,618 miles from Niagara Falls to Seattle Washington, so it would be a longer
drive than I like to make in a day.

Bill's FSUW Cliff Notes Review

I found an old dead forum about 9-10 years ago.
I traveled to Odessa to meet a girl who tried to scam me after the trip.
I traveled Twice to Kiev to meet several girls WMVM
I traveled to Lugansk to meet a girl and it went great but fell apart later
I traveled to St Petersburg to meet a girl it fell apart on day 1-2 so I was
visit many for the rest of the trip. I found this forum and started this trip
report at this time.

I dated a local Russian girl for 6 months
I traveled to Dnepropetrovsk and it went great but fell apart later
I traveled to Georgia and it didn't work out
I had an American girl friend for maybe 4 months
I moved to North Dakota and traveled to Oregon to meet a girl from Kiev
I traveled to Voronezh Russia to meet a girl but it didn't work out so I met
many other girls eventually finding Angel Eyes and spent the rest of my time with her.
I made 3 more trips to Voronezh to see Angel Eyes for a total of 4 trips.
Angel Eyes is coming to see me now for approx 3 weeks in May.

Now you are caught up with my adventures reported here thus far (May of 2014)

I've got 1/2 hour before she arrives and I have a to do list
that would take at least 6 hours to complete if everything
fell into place. Oh well, some of it's not going to get done.

I cleaned every possible old girl friend photo off of my computer. I've cleaned
the car, the house, I purchased and washed new sheets for the bed and some
pink towels and wash cloths for her.

My youngest son lives with me he is 23 and has been some help. He bought 6
red roses for me to give her when she arrives and came up with the brilliant
idea to give one to the little 90+ year old land lady who lives a couple houses
down the street so that we had an odd amount of flowers to give her on arrival
and a vase.

Note to Newbies: You give an odd quantity of flowers to sweethearts (and never
yellow) even quantities is only for funerals.

I am stocking up on a few of her favorite items and cooking scallops with Alfredo
sauce and cheese stuffed tortellini for dinner. 

She is making the same trip that I have several times which has never failed to
leave me completely exhausted. Bus ride to Moscow (7 hours) then staying up all
night at the airport waiting for the flight the next day then flying to New York,
Minneapolis to Dickinson North Dakota in about 20 hours.

So I imagine after the nickle tour of the house, that a shower, dinner and bed
will be next.

Angel Eyes arrives her plane was actually early so therefore I was late.
My son had procured a half dozen roses and we gave one of them to our
little old lady land lady who has sort of adopted us. She brings us cookies,
and various treats from time to time. Needless to say she was ecstatic to
get a solitary red rose (her name is Rose by the way).

I have gave AE a very dismal account of life in North Dakota. I did not want
to make it appear better than it is. North Dakota has worse weather than her
city in Russia. We have less trees and her city has more people then the entire
state. I wanted AE to make her own assessment and I tried to be very conservative
regarding things here.

She was early so I was late. I arrive to see Angel Eyes standing there waiting for
her bag to unload, present the flowers and receive a hundred kisses and hugs.
Angel Eyes meets my son, and then she turns to me and jabbers at 100 mph in
Russian. My max is about 25 mph. So I turn and jabber at 180 mph in English
(her max is about 35 mph) and she laughs and we synchronize speeds.

The airport is well out of town and there isn't a tree to be seen, so I tell her that
this is the Dickinson city center, and we see a shrub as we get closer to town so
I tell her that is the city tree, it's very famous and we should stop and take a photo.

She laughs and we continue toward town.

We unload her bags, I make her some of her special tea. which is chamomile tea
with Russian honey, lemon and peeled sliced ginger. I prepared a feast but she
isn't hungry and explains that Delta was on a mission to make her fat.

Angel Eyes becomes very drowsy, and is shortly off to dreamland.

Congrats and good luck. For some reason I'd thought you two were already married.

The house won't be clean but, she'll be okay with it  ;D

We are already married, I was summarizing where we were at that moment in
time May of 2014 and my path leading up till that time. In my effort to be less
confusing, I guess I was more so.

Udachi!

own

Angel Eyes bought some containers and put them in my checked luggage.
I never thought to declare it, should I have?

No, never declare any food items in your luggage unless you're up for 6 hours of interrogation

Angel Eyes is sleeping like an Angel when I get up at 5:30 am and
drop my son off at his work and then I go to my computer and tear
into my work hoping to get most of it done before AE wakes up.

Angel Eyes sleeps approximately 12 hours and comes to me sleepy eyed
and smiling (I am crazy about this girl) and we go in and put together
some breakfast and then properly caught up with sleep and nutrition
AE starts reorganizing my world.

A little background,

A few years ago the economy in California tanked, my 94 year old Grandfather
who that year went elk hunting deep into the woods, shot an elk and packed it
out with horses had always been in peak physical condition suffers a heart
condition at 96 and is now bedridden.

He could get up and walk around but he needs his house remodeled and I drop
everything and move to Oregon to do the work for him and he dies a few months
later.

The economy sucks so I buy a camping trailer and drag it over the Rocky Mountains
to North Defreezing DaKota and I am living in a field in a camping trailer for the
next 18 months. The great advantage is that I am allowed virtually all the time off
that I need to visit Russia.

I make friends and many contacts and find a friend who is moving back to Oregon
and I jump on the house he is living in. I buy all his furnishings and take over his
lease. The land lady loves me.

I never moved a thing. Everything seemed fine to me. I never dug into the lower
cabinets to see what was in there. I never dug around in the garage to see what
was in there. I bought all the crap my friend had left behind.

I never put anything in a cabinet below my knees because if I did I would have to
bend down and get it out of there. Nothing down in those cabinets was bothering
anybody so kind of like snakes, since they leave me alone, I left them alone.

I had visited Angel Eyes 4 times and now she wakes up fully revived with sleep
and breakfast and EVERYTHING is going to change  :o  :o  :o  :laugh:

Stuff I've never seen before is drug out, cleaned, disassembled, reassembled,
organized and rearranged. I started to protest but could see in an instant that
any protests were fruitless. My phone started ringing in earnest and lots of
work was still to be done, so I retreated back to my work area semi oblivious
to the frantic activity around me.

I summoned to go out to the detached garage to help lift some old furniture and
drag it back to the house. I have given up asking questions as to what was going
on since things seemed to be shaping up nicely enough.

AE had totally reorganized a hundred things in a much better, more convenient, 
more practical and functional order and she seemed very pleased with the ongoing
result. She was happy, so I am happy.

It's time to pick up my son from work and I collect him and return to find that AE
had put together a tasty feast while I was away. We all ate and my son who
ordinarily treats housework like puss from plague victims pitches in to help with
the dishes.

Seems like AE is winning him over as well.

My son and I had done a lot of cleaning before she arrived. I had crawled
around on the floor cleaning baseboards, I had taken apart light fixtures
and washed them.

It was man clean. Now Angel Eyes was in the process of making it woman clean.

Women can see microscopic dirt down at the atomic level. Men can see dirt if it
is visible to the naked eye. I was sent off to buy rubber gloves and was told
what size she wore. They have a size? Not in North Dakota they don't.

There was one size of gloves and one color yellow and only one pair left on the
rack. I bought them along with some more blue cleaning spray stuff and some
white spray cleaning stuff.

Soon the house was gleaming and smelled a little bit like heaven.

She bustled around the house with an energy that radiated off of her
to everything around her
