      thanks…

      Over 100 people commented via Twitter and Facebook and despite being over 7,000 miles from home back in the States, we felt a bit closer with all your thoughts and [...]

      I’ll be real honest.  I don’t really know what Darla does or what the company she works for does either.  I’m lazy in that manner.  What I do know is that this video should rock your understanding of this world that we live in.
      This morning I watched a live broadcast of [...]

      beer pong experts?

      I found this from a friends Facebook page.  Kind of amazing, eh?  In my drinking days I wouldn’t want to play them in beer pong…

      sick…blargh!

      I haven’t been feeling well all week.  It’s a simple head cold, but it is somehow taking me down…
      I hate being sick…and I hardly ever am.  But I just haven’t been able to kick this bug I picked up.  And, you know the only thing worse than having a cold?  It’s when you have a [...]

      so you think you can read?

      Sara and I had our language checks on Tuesday morning and with that finished up the first three modules of our study of the Thai language.  Up until this point everything has been spelled in western phonetics so that we are able to learn to speak.  Well, upon completing those modules we have now moved [...]

      So, I guess I’m gay?

      Allow me to share with you what just happened.  We just finished up with our Thai classes for the day and I dropped Sara off at home before heading back out to get a snack from a nearby store.  When paying I realized I was about out of money so I go to the closest [...]

      a picture is worth a thousand words (and feelings)

      There are a few things lately that really miss from home.  The first two months here have gone by amazingly fast and we are loving most of it.
      I took some time to edit a few photos that I had taken back in June when we were in Colorado.  As many of you know, photography is [...]

      It’s been awhile…

      We’ve been here for two months, experienced A LOT, and are continuing to get settled in.  A lot has gone on, and thus, it is hard to know where to start.
      First thing once we got started was to move to Lopburi, the provincial capital of Lopburi province about an hour and a half north of [...]
