I want to tell you about how I met Emily and why we have to be together, the first time when I saw Emily was on 10th December of 2008 I remember really well because I just left the Russian embassyand somebody call me my name on Quito downtown street, they were Tien (Earth to City Director), Emily and Marco (who knew me), after a long conversation with Tien I decided to stay in Ecuador and nottravel to Russia and work for them as a guide where Emily also help as a secretary, but in first week of march of 2009 we went together to run a pilot program in a Cofanes community on the EcuadorianJungle where we start this relationship, after these trip we dating a lot and soon we decided share more time to each other, during the next months she came to visit me in Banos where I used to liveand I went to Quito to visited her and spend more time together, also she share with my friend and family inclusive we lived on my mom’s home for a few weeks where Emily and I consolidated ourrelationship because she lived my style of live, at the end of our first time we went together for near a month to travel to Peru and Bolivia on September – October 2009.

Between October 2009 to today wespend a lot of time via Skype and Phone also we sent letter and packages each other, the most important is when she came to visited me for a few times in Ecuador and spend time with me and my family andfriends, that make me happy in different dates like August 2010, and February – June of 2011 time when we lived together on Lumbisi – Quito – Ecuador.

On February –April I travelled to Illinoiswhere we share her life, friends, family and activities, in these time I understand why we should be together, because I feel better person when I be with her and doesn’t matter where we are.



Inthat time in USA we travelled together to Florida where we visited her uncle, and enjoy a long weekend on her parent’s condo, super cool place in Sarasota and also we went together to NY city...
