Keeping In Touch

We decided to start a blog to help update our family and friends of our whereabouts, thoughts, feelings, and life adventures. Hopefully this will be a great tool for us to keep in touch with all out there who care about us. Not to say that those who don't care about us shouldn't read our blog for valuable insight and some occasional laughs, but that the intended purpose of the blog will be for keeping in contact. And so, here it goes...

No Hair


yes it is true.

World Cup Excitement Goes Sour


Yes! The World Cup is here! Watching the games has brought excitement to many of us in Darkhan. So much, that we started using the living room for a little soccer field. I made a couple goals, my opponent made a couple(a friend living in our city)-the game was really close. In the second half, I took a crack at a shot from afar and bammm....GOAL....and then...BROKEN WINDOW! Game over. Stephanie Ref came in and called the game at that point. She declared "No more soccer in the apartment except for watching" -now I have to find out where to get a new window.

Jack Ryan


So, in recent news, a man visited us for about a week named Jack Ryan. He was a world traveler of some sort, and took it upon himself to take a trip through Darkhan-Uul. He visited monastery ruins, went to caves, visited the ancient battle grounds of Chinggis Khaan. His trip was great! He went 700 kilometers for 5 days in the countryside...drove through rivers and met with Mongolians and Kazakhs- saw golden eagles, and every other animal Mongolia has to offer. And he looks just like me.
