Congratulations AJ on your 5th anniversary!
« on: August 25, 2008, 07:19:11 PM »

I noticed the dates on AJ's wife's photo of 08 26 2006 as their 3rd anniversary. So in a matter of a few hours it must be their fifth.

AJ, you have it all and so does your wife! Congratulations!

Hey
 Thank you all !
bishou'y spiasiba!

Today is the actual day,
yes 5 years! how time flies!
 
as far as the photo dated 8-26   i think we celebrated a little early one year, due to my sometimes inflexible and out of state (or country) work schedule..

i'm off today, we will go downtown , hang out in general around the beach,parks,
 and navy pier, then go out to dinner and celebrate properly..
:)

Since I have typically posted a few photos on our anniversaries-

and since this forum needs lightening up a bit,
and
often seems far too seriuosly dedicated to The care and feeding of a RW
(sorry no offense intended ladies , remember it is stated very tongue in cheek ;) )

i thought a little pictorial of exactly:
 "How to make an American Husband happy on his anniversary" was in order !!!

First as the wonderful RW spouse- since you know his passion is racing,
 and all things fuel and speed related-
you beg, borrow , or steal,  a lil Lambo  for him to try out..
(and of course any normal RW must pose by it as well ! right? :::cheezy grin:: )



Then you plan a day downtown in his favorite city..
(and absolutely no shopping including , as you know he hates to shop ;) )






and you take along nice clothes to change to, and buy us both a very nice dinner cruise..
(since he has been such a good and generous husband for many years,it's your turn..lol )

 



and of course surprise him with all of this, and make all the arrangements before he finds out..

Odds are you will have a one happy AM..
but

as always on this forum
YMMV 

 :ROFL:

While i'm joking in my delivery..
 My wife did surprise me in planning and and springing for this anniversaries dinner and day..
  She is an incredible person, and works hard at work or play,
and generally at everything she does.
(and one of the many things she does , is being a great wife , which she takes quite seriuosly as well)


If you are reading this forum , odds are you have  more than a passing interest in the FSU and women from there.
On that note-

 While it might be frought with risk,, and filled with a few landmines-
you can meet, a wonderful spouse in the FSU.
(as well as any country)
One that truly loves you ,(more than you can imagine )
 and is willing to work hard together to make life better for you both as a couple.

It is up to you to due your due diligence ,
to not only find the right person for you,
but to try and insure you are the right person for them.

at only 5 short years, i can't claim any success as far as marriage, as it should be for a lifetime.

I do know that spending time in eastern europe and familiarity with its culture
 richened my life.
Add in that i met a wonderful person to share these past 7 years with,
(we dated two) it has been  amazing.
 any additional time in my book, is pure bonus and a further blessing.

 The new guys thinking of venturing there to try and meet someone special,
it can be quite a challenging , strange , winding , and bumpy road!!!
 :cluebat:

After you meet someone, expect that things will get a bit more interesting!!
(and possibly more difficult  even...lol)

but yes!
 if you have some decent luck, are confident and of good character ,remain true to yourself, and keep some good common sense about you..
it is worth any effort or minor difficulties or bumps in the road of life....

i'm not much of a team sports fan..
but it does seem to have a good analogy?

 You can sit on the sidelines, and watch life go by
(which can have its own merits)

 or get in the game..!!(or on the plane )

by jumping in there, yes  you will  risk injury ,
and no amount of preparedness can eliminate that risk,,
but by getting out there,
 you have an oppurtunity for those great moments..
that people from the stands watching  simply won't have.
 
I wish you luck and happiness whatever your choice!!

Thank you both! :)
we are just like most couples,, taking things as life hands them ,day by day,
 and enjoying it.
 It's hard for me to believe it's been 5 years since we were married in Ukraine.

Congrats, AJ.

You and both Kens and Jet and Conner and Dan and BC and JB (and forgive me if I missed a few OMBs) are not just an inspiration to new guys, but to those of us who are in the first few years of marriage. I can understand the enormous reserves of patience and persistence that you needed to get to this point, and I salute you and hope I have what it takes to get to there, too.
