Day 1

Last night we arrived in Bangkok. The airplane rides were long but we flew Korean air so we had our own personal tv's with a huge amount of movies to choose from. Korean air is CLASSY! I wish airlines in the states fed us as much as they did.

Because We got in close to midnight last night, 750 baht was the lowest anyone would take us to our hotel on karon beach. It's about 45 min away from the airport so I guess that was reasonable.

We're staying in 30 dollar a night hotel That is probably one of the nicest hotels I've stayed in... Like ever. Free water bottles daily and free breakfast. We love it here.

The 5 min walk from the beach is a plus. There are Thai restaurants everywhere. They have about 4 different shops in a row and then they just repeat themselves. Our favorite is the random Arabs here who literally grab you and just about throw you in to their store to try and get you to buy a cheap suit. The best thing is, they're not even sowing the suit themselves... They leave that to some Asian in a closet who doesn't speak English. Do yourselves a favor and don't get fooled into buying one of these "custom" suits.

The water here is warm. Way warmer than Hawaii. This is a nice  transition before we move to Georgia. In Georgia there are no beaches, or warm Ocean water or endless days of playing in the sun... Just Dan working, and me trying to find some kind of work besides taking orders at McDonald's.

    Man...that McDonalds man really makes me miss Asia. And yes! Korean air is REALLY great. I flew on them on my way to Korea! Good luck finding a job in Atlanta.

Dog (commonly reffered to as Angel)

At my house lives a Dog.  (named "angel") The thing about Dog is... its hair gets EVERYWHERE. On your clothes, furniture, carpet, floor.... everywhere. It's impossible to completely clean the floor because you turn around and there's always more hair there. Talk about annoying/frustrating/messy. Reasons to not have a dog... they smell, you have to pick up their poop, they shed, you have to bathe them, you have to take them on walks, they bark... loud, you have to feed them, they shed , they lick you after they lick heaven knows what else, and a bunch more reasons. Reasons to have a dog.....                                .   .   . Basically a dog is kind of like a baby that never learns how to talk, or grows spiritually and emotionally, and learns how to feed themselves and use a toilet and become inde...

The day I had a baby

Image
Brace yourselves... This is going to be a long one. About 4 weeks before my due date, a friend from church gave me a book about hypnobirthing. If you are planning to give birth naturally, I suggest not trying to cram what would take 9 months to learn into 4 weeks. The book was wonderful. It talks about how birth is a natural, sacred, and beautiful thing. If you are ready to give birth and aren't afraid, there should be no pain. After reading it, I was 100% sure my birth would be a pain free, natural birth. Yeah, my sister and mother said labor was awful but they just don't have as high of a pain tolerance like I did.... Ha. What a silly thought. We had taken a tour of the hospital and my birth plan was all done. We were ready for this baby to come. I had watched dozens of birth videos and cried during every single one. I made Dan watch at least 3 with me so he would be prepared and not pass out for the birth of our daughter. A week before my due date, February 3rd, I wa...

Levitation

Sooooo yeah. I know. It's been what... 5 months? I guess being married is kind of a time sucker. But only in the best of ways. Oh yeah... Did I mention? I got married! And I am LOVING it! It's exactly like a roller coaster. There are highs and lows and all sorts of fun twists and turns. There are parts that make you want to puke and others that make you scream with excitement. It looks a little scary at first, but once you get on, you never want it to stop! I'll post some pictures of our wedding later. We had an AMAZING photographer and the pictures turned out great! Yesterday my husband told me about this new type of photography where people look like they are Levitating/flying. Wait... flying ? Seriously? Count me IN ! So now we are a little bit obsessed with it. Yeah no big deal... levitating when I study music history
