She lives in the village of Ak-Zhar, located in the Talas region, with her husband Talaibek Duyshkeev. The couple has five children: three daughters and two sons, as well as five grandchildren.
“I started working at the 'Manas Ordo' complex in 1993. When I came, the museum was just beginning to be built. In August 1995, it was opened in conjunction with the millennium of Manas, with delegates from all over the country attending. The first president, Askar Akayev, officially opened the museum. At first, I worked in the museum, then became a ticket cashier, as I am a trained accountant. Later, I worked as a seller in the museum shop, then as an accountant-cashier at the 'Aiköl' fund, and now I am engaged in material accounting,” A. Alymbaeva shared.
She noted that she has been married for 32 years.
“At first, I didn’t want to communicate with Talaibek, but he performed the traditional 'ala kachuu'. It seems that love came to me only after we started our life together. We are raising five children, built a house, and cultivated the land. Two daughters are already married, and our son has also found his partner. One daughter is currently studying at the university, and the youngest son goes to school. My husband and I enjoy every moment together,” she said.
A. Alymbaeva recalled one of the happiest days spent with her children and husband:
“I remember when our children went to school. By September 1st, my husband and I went to the market together to choose clothes and school supplies. Suddenly, my husband disappeared with our youngest daughter. My older daughter and I searched for them everywhere, and tired, we sat down to wait. Then they returned, full of joy, and my daughter was hiding something. We approached and found out that they had bought a stroller for her favorite doll. Their eyes were shining with happiness, and I laughed and lightly scolded my husband for playing with the child instead of shopping. But that day remains in our hearts. After that, we all had lunch together and continued to prepare the children for school. For them, it was a real celebration to go on September 1st in new uniforms. That day became one of the happiest moments for our family. Remembering it warms my heart. Time flies so fast: just yesterday, I was holding the little ones in my arms, and today they have already become parents,” she concluded.
