Long Time No Update... Sorry....

Well we are still working on getting Internet access at home so that is why.  I do have a new Android phone that I can make a Hot Spot, so that's what I'm using now.  Slower than I'd like but it does the trick.  Now my phone is pay as you go, I pay 500 Rubles a month and I get 300 minutes talk time and unlimited data and SMS.  Work is good and Jolene is liking her job.  Crystal is doing good in school and has started playing soccer.  We've taken some pictures and will get a few up here and there.  The weather is getting cooler, leaves are changing and falling and winter is right around the corner.  Lets see, cost of living is higher here but sometimes it's hard to see the difference when dealing with rubles.  Bottle of soda might be 55 - 60 rubles and I've got 1100, 1200 rubles in my wallet so I get a soda and then I realize I just paid about $2 for a bottle of pop.  Electronics are much higher, a 300 dollar flat screen could be as much as 700 here.

Well time to chat with friends... looks like one in the states and one in China are on right now...
