...leaving on a jet plane!

One month!!

It seems like yesterday that Aline and I were discussing our interest in the project here in Armenia. To tell you the truth, this last minute trip ended up being one of the most memorable experiences of my life. A two week construction project turned into a month full of everlasting memories.

Erik and I plan on producing a small picture/video montage of our experiences here in Armenia.

Tonight is our last night here in Yerevan. In one month I've met so many amazing people, tried so many new things, and shared so many memorable times. I want to thanks all the people I met on this trip including:
Erik, Robert, Kelly, Aline, and Jannette from USC
Point Loma Nazarene University
Baylor University
The Lazarians
The Fermanians
The Yeseyan family (for allowing me to stay in their wonderful home)
Andre
Mariana
Vrejuhi, our mom here in Yerevan.
Vartan, our driver in Karapagh
Kima and Gor from Shoushi for letting us stay in their home.
Badal and his family for making me feel at home in Armenia.
Our friends at Ani Plaza Hotel
Our amazing driver Azat.
Musha, for showing us how the locals do things.
and anyone else that I forgot and will probably remember later.... 8 hours into the flight.

I want to give a special thanks to my family and friends back home. You guys have been so supportive of me and I am forever thankful. Without your support and encouragement I would not be who I am now. Every time you come to Armenia you change. It may not show on the outside, but there is just a different feeling about the country after you leave. I cannot wait to return. The future of our country is strong and those who think otherwise should not call themselves Armenian. It is our duty as diasporans to contribute to the development of our homeland because without the support of those who believe in its future, there would be no "Hayastan".

I love you all.

I’m talking WAY smaller waist-to-hip ratio than what Megan’s sporting here. We would check those sites every day. It fascinated us to no end. Then again, we were probably really high. megan fox naked

Onlookers claimed to watch the proposal go down, complete with a jumping up-and-down Megan Fox (for that mental image, you’re welcome) and Fox subsequently dropping the two-carat ring somewhere into the sand. megan fox naked pic

It’s something that, you know, [Eminem and I have] both experienced, you know, on different sides, different ends of the table. It just was authentic. It was real. It was believable for us to do a record like that, but it was also something that needed to be done, and the way he did it was so clever. megan fox fully naked

Hi there would you minԁ ѕhaгing ωhiсh blog platform you're using? I'm going to start
my own blog іn the neаr future but I'm having a hard time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking fοr something completely unique.
P.S My apologies for getting off-topіc but I haԁ to aѕk!
