Updates on the house

The stairs are done!! The bannisters aren't there and it's not painted yet either, but you can go up and down really quickly using just your legs (opposite the ladder you had to climb with both feet and hands).

The floors and inside paintings are all done, too! The tiles in the kitchen - 'check'! (No kitchen itself though, but we'll get to it) The bathroom is completely done, even with washing machine connected! The lights and outlets... it's all done.

We'll be ready to move in once the electricity matter is solved.
Grandma is moving into her part of the house (to the first floor) today! :)))

Fun, fun, fun!!!

Dearest Jeanechka, good luck searching for the perfect dress!

You look like an agel in any of them,

but there is a dream dress somewhere out there

waiting for you...

Enjoy every second of this blessed time of preparation :)

How to...

Edit: So anyhow, I ended up describing my own wedding, because in my opinion it is a perfect example of an ideal wedding. There are tons of things to remember, so my few main advices are the ones that were given to me by both pairs of parents and Cara.

1) Give out as many tasks as possible to friends and relatives (in case if they are responsible of course). They will be happy to help and you won't have to worry about hundreds of little things.

2) Find the balance between your desires and your parents vision of this event. It's as important to parents as it is for you.

3) Make sure to have professional musicians, DJ, photographers and video-operators. You will really want their products to be good.

4) Comfortable shoes (!!!) and tiny handkerchief (I didn't have it and still regret it and when Mom gave it to me I meant to keep it forever but lost it really soon - I wish wedding dress had a tiny pocket in it)

5) Make your wedding a very special unique celebration that you'll remember for life. It's very easy to organize -

marry the man you love :)

I think it's really cool that I get to write an article on how to organize a wedding just about time when my lovely sister-in-law is preparing for hers! Maybe I'll end up with some really good advices (that I myself was given not so long ago)...

...on how and where to order white gold rings

and the most fresh flowers for the bridal bouquette...

... or a perfect reception hall

or a cool antique car... vrrroooom!!

Make a wish if you see a falling star

Use your friends' thumbs for it's a 'ten-thumds-up' movie!

Great actors that were able to express themselves

and show their exquisit talent.

Absolutely loved Mr. Shakespear and the Witch.

Awesome! And definitely a wide-screen movie, too.

Comes out... emm... oh, today in US!

On the 16th in Ukraine.

Enjoy! :))

Watermelon Inspiration

We had watermelon in the office in the morning and it made our day. What a great start!! Eating watermelon with a nice company, what could be better?!

WatermelonOmania!!!

Who can resist its sweet juicy taste and summer spirit?!

Welcome to our office...

Our beautiful correctors Margarita and Ira.
There is no one who knows grammar better than them.

So this is what our busy editorial looks like...

And these are the advisery section editors. Having fun as usual.

Beeeeeezzz, that's us ;)

This is just a taste of our daily hard work.
(hard but oh so fun!)

Below is my beautiful, caring and most wonderful
partner in the 'advisery' magazine section.

Please welcome... Yulia!

And the sweetest Alina, who is a 'celebrity section' editor.
She sits right across me, so we face each other daily.
There is no other face I'd like to see every day more than hers.

Have you had your laugh today?

A vaccumm salesman walks to a house and knocks on the door. As soon as a lady answers the door, the man throws cow dung all over the carpet. He then says, "If this vaccum does not clean it completely and perform miracles, then I myself will eat the patties."
There is a long pause....
The lady half laughing asks, "Do you want a ketchup or mustard on that?"
Puzzled the man asks, "What? Why?"
She says, laughing, "We just moved in and our electricity is not turn on yet."

:))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
