From Russia With Love

{via}

Long story short, (someday I'll post "The Long Story"), I fell in love with a certain green-eyed Ukrainian man a few years ago. Now I have a brand-new-difficult-to-pronounce-the-cashier-at-the-grocery-store-never-gets-it-right, last name. phew.

Of course, I'm still smitten with my Ukrainian and I absolutely love my new identity as a Mrs. This name is fun. I feel so multi-cultural!

And our kids, well, our kids will be a smorgasbord of international genes. Small parts Korean and German plus a big dose of Eastern European. My main thought about that: What if they have red hair, blue eyes, and look nothing like me? I've seen it happen before people. It's a strange, strange world.

Who am I kidding? They are gonna be so adorable! Yep, I just bragged about our kids that don't even exist.

I'm getting a bit ahead of myself though. No little Svetlana or Vladimir running around anytime soon. I think.

In honor of my fancy new name and big extended family, here are some fun little babushka trinkets and lovelies to remind you of the old country.
