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.

houston... we have tickets!

we finally bought the tickets!  jennifer, olive and boone will be arriving in bishkek on saturday, october 10th at 550am.  i am SO EXCITED.  i have spent the past month counting down to the day (although i had no idea what day it would be) that they woudl arrive.  it is so close now i can almost feel it.  i have run through the images in my mind a 1000 times.  seeing them for the first time as they exit customs.  smiling and crying at the same time.  get to kiss my wife and hold my daughter.  to see boone go all crazy (most likely more happy to be out of the crate and off the plan than to see me... but still!).  i can't wait.

our friend april will be traveling with them to help with the baby and boone.  we are so thankful to her for making the trip.  she will be staying here a week and her visit will be a great excuse for us to do all the wonderful "touristy" things that make bishkek memorable.
