This is our last day of classes in High school. My Mom is next to Oleg – she was our Math teacher and homeroom teacher for 7 years. The little bells symbolize the very last school bell we heard on that day.
And this is our wedding day!

Our Anniversary
21 years ago, on April 9, 1987, Oleg and I got married! We’ve been married for more than half of our lives, and we’ve met on the first day of school in first grade in 1974. Here is the picture of the day we met. I’m the second from left, and Oleg is staying next to me :)

I don't know of anyone that grew up together like the two of you did and then married. A real love story. Happy, happy anniversary to both of you! What a beautiful spring day you have for your anniversary.
Loved seeing the pictures looking back.
What great memories. Congratulations!!!

Happy Anniversary!
The photos from your childhood through your marriage are wonderful. Thanks for sharing!
You both just got better and better looking over the years. What's your secret?!
Wow - not just High School sweethearts - Elementary School sweethearts!! Congratulations - you both look as happy and beautiful in your recent photo as you did in you wedding photos!
Happy Anniversary!!! What a wonderful love story the two of you have shared. It was so wonderful visiting some of those same spots with you a few months ago. Now I have pictures to go wtih the places. ;)
The photo of you when you first met is adorable! Victoria looks a lot like you in that photo. Thank you for letting me take a walk down memory lane with you two. It's rare that a couple has known each other as long as you have. Happy Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary! Love the pics.
Great pictures! I can't believe you met in first grade and actually have a picture. Congratulations and many more years of blessings.

How romantic! I love that you too have known each other so long. What a blessing!
I thought the same thing as Debbie; Victoria looks so much like you, Nataliya! Also, I am thinking that Alex seems to look like Oleg but with your eyes, or at least your eyebrows.
Also, I echo Joann to say that I can't believe you have a picture of when you met in FIRST GRADE!!! How cool is that!!!
Happy anniversary!
I think it's something special to say that you have been married for more than half your lives. Congratulations!
happy anniversary!!!
i just sent you an email to the address you have posted on your blog...
best regards,
rachel
Happy Anniversary! I love the pictures! Wow, having your mom as homeroom teacher and math teacher for all that time? I can't quite imagine being sweethearts under such scrutiny :-)
Your story is so unique!!!!
Happy Anniversary! Look at all the blessings you have been granted in your life!

Oleg and Nataliya, Congratulations on your 21st Anniversary! Jill and I just had our 16th. Victoria is so lucky now to have a big sister. It is so nice they can share their life together growing up. Rachel’s looks like she is adjusting very well to the American culture. Plus enjoying her new sister! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for sharing such special pictures! Happy 21st!
Congratulations! Your family story gets more amazing all the time.
I know much of your hearts remain with the memories of your loved ones in Ukraine, but America is so fortunate to have you.
The photos are more than beautiful and inspiring. Thank you very much for sharing them.
May God Bless you all.
A true, romantic love story! You two have the fary-tale, dream story. It is amazing that you have known each other almost your whole lives. Happy belated Anniversary! May you have MANY more years of happiness! :)
The photos are fantastic! Cheers to your 21 years! Your story and your families story is one that leaves an impression. Looks like Rachel is settling in just fine...another beautiful Ukrainian child saved by her loving family.
Take care,
Brian, Pamela & Angelina
