This whole "blogging" thing is new to me but I've always loved to write, so I thought I'd give it a shot! Being Ukrainian, I do have very strong opinions so there may be a few things I write about that you don't agree with, but that's okay. I also have very thick skin having worked within the music industry for the past 13 years. So I encourage you to add your comments, feedback, opinions & questions.
The first paragraph gave you a quick glimpse of who I am... I suppose, but I can add to that!
I grew up in Martensville, Saskatchewan up until I moved to Calgary, Alberta with my then, boyfriend, now, husband! I travelled back and forth to Nashville throughout high school and taught voice lessons inbetween. I then graduated and worked at a Real Estate/Home Builder office in Martensville, and this is where my passion for Homes began! Actually, I knew at a young age I loved Real Estate and the architectural essence of different houses and floor plans! When my parents built their first home when I was 12 years old, I began drawing up floor plans and venturing off to open houses to help my parents design the perfect home, with all the new '1998' styles & features offered! I knew terms in Real Estate at 12 years old that some don't even know at 25 years of age! So looking back, it makes perfect sense why Real Estate became the "perfect fit" with my musical dream and aspirations.
Throughout the years I've dealt with many different types of people and personalities on and off stage (singing) & within the business world. I started out very shy and very scared to meet new people, but quickly learnt that my mom and dad could not hold my hand forever! This is where I flourished and learnt that listening, understanding, communicating & just being myself was a huge factor in the business world, both in music and real estate. I'm very "high energy" and like to think I'm always smiling and laughing, and cracking the odd joke that people may or may not get...haha.
While in Calgary, I went to school to upgrade my Real Estate Licensing to Alberta standards. During this time I also obtained my diploma in Graphic Design and continued to pursue music...playing Western Canada's finest live music country bars, Camrose Big Valley Jamboree, private corporate shows and the ever-so famous Stampede....to name just a few events! Also in 2011 I planned our wedding and ventured to Thailand for 3 weeks for our honeymoon...which was not a planned-out 3 week vacation/honeymoon, just a flight to Bangkok, our backpacks and our sense of Adventure! :) We had an amazing time and would not have done it any differently!
I have many hobbies including, singing, skiing (both water and snow), tubing, Fastball & Slow pitch, Volleyball, 4-wheeling, fishing (ice and summer), hunting (more less help my dad and brother push bush, haha) and skating! I am the type of person to try everything once and tend to love most activities. I'm also a Roughrider fan, and cannot wait to watch my sons or daughters play hockey (when I have sons or daughters) ...I was always the loud, competitive one up on the stands cheering her little brother on back in the day...
Not a whole lot more I can tell you about myself without writing 15 pages. Let me know if you have any questions, and I'll begin writing about things that I feel you (the reader) may be interested in hearing about. I look forward to blogging! This is the 1st step as I would love to start video blogging as well!
