the bishkek adventure


although "our story" as a couple originated in 2006... the bishkek adventure officially began in july of 2008 when jennifer and i accepted teaching positions at an international school in bishkek, kyrygzstan. we started this blog with the hope that it would be an entertaining and accurate catalog of our years living abroad. although we are back in the states now after two years in central asia and our life is not nearly as exotic or exciting... we are keeping the blog going writing for our friends, families and for our first born child, olivia (olive) annmarie conover, who blessed us with her arrival on monday, august 24 at 2:15pm.

travel plans for christmas break

we have finalize our travel plans for christmas break. we will be leaving bishkek on friday, december 12th for a long, long flight back to houston. turkish airline. layover in istanbul. non-stop istanbul to chicago. then united airlines from chicago to houston intercontinental airport. because of time difference... the 20 hour flight gets us in houston the same day (only a couple of hours later) that we leave bishkek.

we are scheduled to leave houston on december 31st. same flight plan on the way back home but this time with an extend five day layover in turkey. jen and i are going to explore istnabul for our honeymoon (we are still in that stage!).

our ticket to leave houston is open ended... so depending on family stuff (remember the prayers for my dad) we might stay in texas for a while (by taking a leave of absence from work).

while in houston we are so looking forward to spending some quality family time. and we can't tell you how excited to see boone... he will be with us 24 hours a day! we also are looking forward to spending time with friends. so if you are around... we can't wait to see you. not sure what we are going to do about a cell phone so we can get in touch with each other... but we will figure something out.

although we haven't bought her ticket yet... jen is planning on spending a week in california visiting her mom and brother.

we are counting the days...
