Bye-bye May month.
A brief summary.
The best compliment I received: ‘is this a princess, mommy?’
The best purchase of the month: a really cute set of high-heels and a classic black watch (finally!)
The most fun night: Saule +Diana movie night.
The most surprising event: Sojin in Petro.
The most favorite song: still Shreck 1 and 2 soundtracks esp. Accidentally in Love and the other one also sung by Jeff Buckley. + Odna by Podolskaya (it’s in Russian).
The most exhausting Saturday: a 12 hour or so work out at Dacha (ugh, couldn’t move a toe afterwards).
The proudest momentum: 4 of my kids entered KIMEP (the best KZ-ni University).
The most dubious offer received: Come teach in China for a year.
Why it is the most dubious: because a week ago I saw a weirdest Chinese product at a nearby pharmacy called Against the Treatment of Cellulite (what could THAT possibly be? scarrrr—yyy!).
The most beautiful morning: today! 1) I had flip-flops on! Summer time already—beach time now sooner than ever!!! 2) It was blind raining, meaning there was a very gentle rain and the sun shining with all its might at the same time.
The best advice: ‘Run, Diana, Run.’ (From my former Junior High School literature teacher)—Just like Forrest Gump.
The hardest decision to be taken: run to where? (Any additional piece of advice on this one is would be highly appreciated).
The most extraordinary: I have actually had two classes with Andrei and we’ve planned for more.
The best quote of the month: Let love be genuine. Romans 12:9.
And finally:
I have one more time learned one more little thing about life. We indeed never know one’s true worth until the hour of separation and so it’s true that we get to say more good-byes than hellos. Or at least they are the ones more remembered and cherished. Try to think of all the friends you have. Do you remember how you said hello to them for the first time? Probably not, because while meeting this person you could not imagine how much you would come to love him/her. I can only recall a couple. A guy from VT dressed in beige jeans and a blue sweater because he was the only one who did not rush outside to greet us. Another guy wearing blue jeans and a purple jacket in our PHP library—just a few moments before going to shop with him for SK products. My host family from VT because once out of the bus of all the people in the crowd I chose very smartly to come up to them ( because they had a plate filled with chocolate chip cookies) and asked them if they knew Elizabeth and Craig Stead. Erica, because by that time I’d heard so much from Andy about her that I was really looking forward to meeting her.
Get back next month.
