Izabela and Stanislaw married in 1966.
Together they started a life full of love and happiness.
I would like to proudly emphasize that I belong to a shrinking group of people that are the children of fully functional families. After 50+ years, my parents are still married and enjoying their life together.

I was about a year old when this picture was taken. The bag was my favorite hiding place.

I'm about 3 years old. The hair was really curly, everyone asked my Mom which stylist worked on my hair.



At Right
I'm 23 years old - graduating SGH Unitersity in Warsaw, Poland and ready for an independent adult life.















November 28, 1992 I came to Chicago. In 1994 I got married and unfortunately a divorce ended my first marriage in 1999.


But, on March 1, 2000 I met the most wonderful man of my life - my current husband Christopher.





January 11, 2001 - Christopher and I joined our lives forever.








January 11, 2016 - Happy 15th Anniversary to us!!!!!.
