This is What 14 Years of Marriage Looks Like!

Today is our 14th wedding anniversary. Crazy, huh? Our wedding was crazy simple - we went down to the Beverly Hills Courthouse with some friends. Other couples were there and I remember it was a rather overcast day, but it became sunnier as they day grew. Our name was called and we got married by a Justice of the Peace. And we were married in five minutes. Sometimes, I

So yeah, we were totally robbed…

No, that is not a bait-click title. We were robbed. Sometime when I went to Costco yesterday and was gone for a mere 3 hours, we were robbed. The crackheads (I'll get to why we feel that way) stole two iPads (both Bear's) and ten dollars in petty cash. Now, it's story time: I went to Costco and made a last dash at Toys R Us for early birthday/Christmas gifts for Bear.

This is the Good Reason Why Our Christmas Tree is Still Up

Why yes, our Christmas tree is still up on January 4th. And it'll probably be up until January 31st. And so are our decorations! Our neighbors are used to it, though. In fact, I think they started recognizing Orthodox Christmas as well. Or maybe not. We celebrate Orthodox Christmas, which is typically a week after traditional Christmas. We don't give or receive gifts, nor do we still play Christmas music

#ThrowbackThursday: The Newlywed Game

The one good thing about the Facebook memories feature is seeing all of the photos you posted from a while back. I came across this gem of me and the bae: We were married for almost five months at this point. Kinda nuts to see how far we've come along. It's also bittersweet to see where we were in terms of happiness before the heartache. I always say for those

Over the weekend, we went to Fire Service Day at the Beverly Hills Fire Department. It was a lot of fun! We got to ride in a fire truck (which is a lot bigger and a bit more difficult to get in than I imagined). We met some super cool firefighters, and got to know our (semi) local Fire Department! We missed the demonstrations they did but it was

#ThrowbackThursday: First Dodgers game

So technically, this was actually our first Dodgers game with Bear. We've gone to many as we live not that far from Dodgers stadium. I just did the big chop so that's why my hair is super short (I love the length of my hair now but man, having the big chop was sooooo convenient for a while! Wash and goooooo!) Standard family pic.

A Whole New World

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIlu5rNfulE&w=420&h=315] Before I dive more into this topic, I need to disclose a few things. While I have a broad view of the world and what things that occur, I also have a narrow view of it at times (which I feel most people have). That being said, I have to share some things. Last year, I think by accident really, I was introduced to the Mixed Remixed Festival. It's

Merry Christmas from the Blussians!

We actually had a really good holiday over here. We celebrated both St. Nick's (an Ukrainian holiday) and Christmas. For the first time, I'm going to start celebrating Kwanzaa. Now before any of you give me the proverbial side eye, I need to explain. Growing up, my parents never celebrated Kwanzaa. In fact, they'd never mentioned it. I didn't learn about it until I was in high school. Over the

Meet the Blussians: Light Saber Battle

So last Friday, the three of us went to the Light Saber Battle in Downtown L.A. Yeah, you read that right - a Light Saber Battle. I wasn't able to get any light sabers for myself (by the time I shopped for some, the last one left was a really cool Darth Vader one that $50. Yeah. Even though we had $50, I couldn't fathom spending that much on
