Fountains

Wow - it seems like forever since I last blogged. Most of you probably don't know me (or have forgotten me) by now :-) so here's a quick refresher: I repatriated to Armenia six years ago with the help of the Armenian Volunteer Corps June 2002, started working for an American non-profit organization by the name of IREX, got married, and had a daughter in January 2007 (how do such small beings have so MUCH energy... someone fill me in, please!)

During this time I've gone through a lot of ups and downs and am currently at an all time high of how much I love being here (though I am bummed by the upcoming departure of two of the "oldest" repats). Yesterday I took a walk to hraparak and saw a mesmerizing water fountain show where they synchronize water movements with super loud music. I will have to take a picture and post one of these days.

Also - did you all hear about Armenia's under 21 soccer team beating Turkey 2-1? I was at my apartment downtown and could hear the throng of fans screaming "Hayastan" for more than an hour!

It's a good time to be here!

site update

Good news... I've taken the sites off the market - my news stirred some conversation with a good friend and we've talked a good deal about what the sites need and what ideas we have for the sites. He has the perfect setup to give the sites a lot of dedicated attention. Keep your eyes peeled for lots of good things to come :-)

If any readers out there want to join one of the 4 blogs on this site, let me know. Things have been a bit too quiet lately, and fresh voices and ideas might invigorate things.
