About me

Introduction	Hi I'm thrilled that you stopped by. I wish we could sit around the crate in my living room and get acquainted over a coffee with real cream, but it's a long plane ride from just about anywhere. The fam and I live in Jalalabad, Kyrgyzstan in our very own house that I try to make homey in spite of plastic orange wallpaper in the living room. The tallest guy in the family works for an NGO here and yearns for the calloused, grease-stained hands he used to have as a farmer in Iowa. My littles have friends named Fatima and Islam, and I accidentally ate horse liver for breakfast. Part of my heart is still in the Midwest; three daughters do their own things there, but often together. Our other three young adults keep me sane here in Central Asia as I struggle to learn Kyrgyz and keep up with the laundry. This is our life--the joys and the challenges and the goosebumps. Welcome. May you feel warmly valued here.
