Luis Gallardo from Santa Barbara, CA
Natalia Kartashova from Moscow, Russia

I just came back from Moscow after being there 22 days, it is a very interesting country, with very talented people, Russians are very nice people, real people, I'm not used to it --maybe because I live in California -- :)

This definitely has been the greatest decision I have made in my life, because I met the woman of my dreams: Natalya from Moscow. I had the opportunity to meet her mother and brother also. We are engaged now waiting for her visa, I'm planning to pick her up at the Los Angeles airport in 1-2 months. (I'm praying to get it sooner). After that we are planning on making one huge wedding in Mexico and other 3 little ceremonies in: Santa Barbara, St. Petersburg and Hungary. (one day)

I just wanted to thank Natasha Spivack for having Natalya 'Natashenka' on her web site. and to Natasha's great professional staff, specially Tatiana the officer manager in Moscow for being so wonderful and caring all the time.

Natasha, you are invited to Santa Barbara in the summer and to Mexico in December to our weddings.!!! We don't know the dates yet but will be fun :) Maybe December 9th for the one in Mexico.

Thank you. Luis Gallardo
