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.

last sunday in houston

yesterday was my last sunday in houston for the summer... and who knows... it might have been my last sunday in Houston (as a resident) for the foreseeable future.  we don't know what next year will bring.  we could end up staying in bishkek (if the right position at the school opens up).  we could end up staying with qsi (the organizations we work for) but teach in thailand, malta or slovakia (our top three choices right now).  we could end up in back in the states.  it is too early to tell.

if yesterday was my last sunday in houston... it makes for a sad day.  jen and i really love it here.  we love living in montrose... being in downtown... being in the museum district.  it is a wonderful place to live and would be even a better place to raise a family.

one of the things we love most about our area of town is the easy access to "cool things to do".  sunday, for instance, was the houston theatre district open house.  free performances.  a theater costume garage sale.  it was so much fun.  after laying in bed with olive for most of the morning, we spent the rest of the day hanging out downtown with our friends april/nick and rachel/phil.  olive was perfect all day and was content to hang out in the baby sling around her mom's neck.  she attended her first symphony performance and was the star of the show (at least for the folks sitting around us).

we are going to miss houston.
