Rock-Tober


It has been a crazy, busy month for us!! First of all, we packed up and moved around the block when our manager told us that the apt we were in was temporary... Our new place is up a little higher and we can see more of the city from here. We are renting from a couple who lives above us but who spend half the year in Canada. Downstairs is a garage and a room for our washer (and soon to be dryer...). That room has also been used for a band practice room... cool!

We also adopted a puppy the end of Sept... our neighbors moved and left him behind. He's about 3 months old and we named him Rocky. He's got a little house on our back deck and seems to like it there!

We also got a new vehicle! We've been borrowing Nick's and Olivia's cars while they were in the states to have their baby girl. Now they're back and we have a new car! It is actually the Armenia Team vehicle and we get to use it while we're here!

Team Armenia also has a new member, a single guy named Chad. And another girl, Carissa, will be here in January!

Nick and Olivia have had conferences since they got back and we've had a ton of band practices in our washer/dryer room! The Rama band has played in church three Sundays now. They've done well and are still working on getting better! We're honored to be a part of their group.

Tomorrow is also.... Hannah's birthday!! 9 years old. Our little honey bunny.

I'd write more, but w're running out the door now to show Scott around Armenia!! That's right, Kev's brother made the trip over and will be here for 5 days. We're so glad to see him!

Off I go... Catch you again sooner then last time, hopefully!!

--oh yeah, we also drove up to Georgia to cross the boarder and renew our visas!! I'll have to spend time on here to upload pics of that trip!! pretty, but twisty roads... our little guy lost his lunch twice!!

*updated: here's a pic of us by a monastery in northern Armenia. We drove up to the Georgia boarder but just walked across it... so we didn't get to see too much of Georgia! Ha... next time, maybe?! We need to go back in January. The kids were hoping to get to Tbilisi because there's a McDonald's there!! But our new vehicle didn't have some stamp or cover over the paperwork or something that was required to leave the country... sooooo...
