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.

family meeting
in typical conover fashion... my last days in houston were hectic, busy and focused more on list making and getting stuff done than actually doing what i wanted to be doing... which was spending every second in family meetings with jennifer, olive and boone.
a "family meeting" is code for cuddling up in bed... talking, day dreaming, and napping. so pretty much the best thing to do in the whole world. i love. jenny loves it. boone REALLY loves it. and olive loves it as long as she gets to breast feed the entire time. so everyone wins.
it is amazing how much i accomplished in the last 48 hours. makes me wonder what i could have gotten done if i has been focused all summer. but as they say... things you postpone to the last minute... only take a minute. thanks go out to my friend rex garver for that saying. i felt like i was going from 600am in the morning to past midnight each day and even then... i didn't get everything done i had hoped to get done AND i missed out on family meeting times.
i am not happy to be leaving for bishkek.
