Vitaliy and Galina were married two weeks ago. They met six years ago at a coffee shop and immediately started spending time together. After Vitaliy finished his education degree, he got a job and proposed to Galina. She has been working at her father's bakery since she was seventeen and enjoys the work. The two of them are living with Vitaliy's grandmother, who raised him and his brother.

Vitaliy and Galina welcomed their first child into the family this year--baby Anya was born just after the first snowfall. Vitaliy has been doing well in his teaching, and was given a significant pay raise this year and some additional responsibilities as well.

Galina became pregnant when Anya was six months old, but suffered a miscarriage a few weeks later. She and Vitaliy were upset, but had not yet told anyone about her pregnancy. They hope to try for another child once Anya is a little older. On a happier note, Vitaliy and Galina attended a family reunion. Galina's family is spread throughout Russia, Ukraine, and even England and the United States. Once every ten years, they get together for a week-long celebration. This year, they enjoyed time reconnecting with Galina's family and introducing everyone to one-year-old Anya.

This year, Vitaliy was laid off after a school consolidation. He hasn't yet found another job, and the two of them are getting by on Galina's bakery assistant salary. This has left more time for Vitaliy to spend with Anya; however, he is actively looking for work.

Vitaliy found a new job a long eight months after he lost his teaching job. He found work at an engineering company doing all of their staff education. It took him a month or two to get up to speed on all the engineering lingo and technical journals, but he is enjoying the work, mostly. Galina is still working at the bakery, and she takes Anya most days as well. Anya, now three, is a happy, bright-eyed child who loves to dance and talk to her family and neighborhood friends.
