Hello Everyone,
This new internet cafe is awesome. We can load pictures and post to the blog with no problems. This one is very advanced!! Or, we've gotten smarter. We picked up our tickets from Koksheteau to Almaty for the 18th today. So, as of today we are 12 days from getting Mason and 1 day shy of three weeks before we leave Kazakhstan. Woo Hoo!! Can't wait to come home. We are out of water again today but hopefully we will get it back before too long. Everything else is great. Our driver here broke his car the other day and has been using his cousins for two days. Well, as of yesterday he broke is cousins car as well. Crazy driver!! Today is Brian and Jen's anniversary and we'll go for dinner with them tonight. Hopefully something good!

We appreciate the posts from everyone and we're glad all is going well back home. We think of you often and are anxious to come home. We'll post every other day from now on.

We hope the weather at home becomes more bearable and we'll talk to you later.

PS-Our thoughts are with Bob and Stacey this weekend as they get hitched on the 5th. Love you guys and have a blast.

Love,
Ryan, Rachel, and Mason
