My Personal Photos

Photos of Wonderful People
(would you expect anything less?)

This of course is the wonderful me! Who else would be on the top of MY photo page? :) .... Once upon a time, when I was young and active (high school hehe), we had this thing where we were tempted with pictures that would thrill our friends and impress relatives... senior pictures! These just happen to be my contribution to the cause. People tell me that the impressive part worked, but I must admit that I'm skeptical... Who wouldn't be? :)

This is my wonderful, fabulous, and all-time best friend Leah. I think that of all pictures that I have of her, these seem to fit the best. On the left, she was in Austria, her first time in Europe, and she nearly flipped. The picture makes it look like she's up for a swinging, but .. hehe, not with those pigtails! Below was a picture taken as I was forced to leave her house... it seems that I used to practically live there (always wondered why half my stuff was there!).

Friends!

Ericka - she who I feel like I've known all my life. We played Beetle Ball in India one year on Silence Day... hehe

Vanessa, my savior in Mr. Macs physics class.

Bich-Ty who saved me more than once from mean bullies and bad ideas...

Eleanor, my partner in crime in AP Comp. hehe, the fun we had!

Keeshia (squishy) - the cutie who plotted with me in division and continues to haunt me now.

Mai-May... what a blast she was with that cute boyfriend of hers...

Sallynee, who ran off to Thailand to do who knows what... figures :)

Lisa, my roommate who I must give credit to for putting up with me - she is the only one, I think, that's capable! She's one of those people who continues to bug me and pester me, but always with the thought that it's 'good for me.' The day will come, I assume, when I actually take the time and analyze that statement, but for now, I guess it's ok. Lisa's the best! (Of course, one knows that I"m saying all this because it embarrasses her like crazy and I know that she'll kill me once she sees this, but why not take advantage of the situation? hehe)

My darling Blondie, who continues to amaze me with bluntness and wonder :)

My fabulous Kielnik, who somehow always manages bigger tragedies than ancient times :)

My Parents (aaaaawww, how sweet!)

These are my parents! Above you can view my mother in the morning one day when we were in India. There just happened to be this cow that was lounging on our lawn and why waste a photo opportunity? We raced right over there, took some pics and thanked the cow most graciously. Now, wasn't that a nice thing to do? hehe... I present to you, my fam, Carol and Myron Kovalevych - the all-time famous couple of the year! :) Below, you'll find the other addition to my family, my 3 shih-tzus. The one on the right is Max, the dad. He's mean and bites a lot but will do anything for food! In the middle is Sophie, the mom. She's my fave and has the most adorable face. On the left is Mopsey, the 3rd puppy born to Max and Sophie. Unfortuantely, we had to put her to sleep a few days before New Year of 1996. But, she is still in our hearts and I often call out for her. My wonderful dogs!

Friends are such fabulous things, aren't they? Here we have on the left (I sound like one of those tour buses) me, Kim and Shariel, a trio who took Whitney Young by storm. And then there's me and Shariel at Great America (her first experience at Six Flags)... see how the effects of the roller coasters remain :) We had a TON of fun in high school, the three of us. I think that it's one of the fondest memories that I have... running around in the gymnastics room when no one was there, jumping off the balcony, listening to us laugh at each other... i mean, aren't that what friends are for? (isn't it wonderful how that all happens like that?)
