"I make lists in my sleep, baby..."

"...what's my sin? Never quit, I follow through. I hate mess but I love you."

There are so many things that I should have been blogging about over the past two months that I've been in America and it just hasn't been happening. I've been busy. And by busy, I mean crazy amounts of traveling and losing my mind while loving my life. It's been good. If I had been blogging, here are some of the things you might have read about here:

  • my time with my amazing friend, Dana and how great it was to reconnect with someone who knew me in all the awkwardness that was my life in junior high.
  • the haunted bathroom/ friendly ghost throwing things at me in an antique store
  • the newly released inmates I rode with
  • the mental patients I rode with including the lady who loved to paint
  • culture shock and all that comes with it; driving on the wrong side of the road, becoming overwhelmed in Target, randomly speaking Thai to non-Thai speakers and being stared at like I should have joined the lady who loved to paint, etc.
  • how incredibly blessed I am
  • how incredibly homesick I am
  • how it sucks to cry with friends over Skype
  • the violence in Thailand and how I wish it would stop
  • my nephews who just happen to be the most handsome boys in the world. fact.
  • insomnia
  • my innermost thoughts on all the things I'm learning about myself and the world
  • my curiosity about why people insist that I should have a Thai boyfriend
  • and many many many more
After having read that list, you are probably happy that I haven't been blogging. Yes, I'm always thinking about you. Yes, you.

Glimpse

So I just found out that there is a TV show called "The Price of Beauty" in which Jessica Simpson travels the world to see what other cultures consider beautiful. Yes I know that I am way behind the times and you have probably all heard of it but I am always late in learning these things, it's the price I pay for living on the other side of the world. Anyway, I'm not at all sure what I think of the show but I just watched the first episode and in it she visited Thailand. I was impressed with the way they portrayed daily life in Thailand and it made even more homesick than I already am! Anyway, if you are curious about what life is like where I live, check it out by watching the video or clicking on the link for a bigger version.

Fuzzy Wuzzy Was A Bear...

It occurred to me today that I haven't kept up with my blogging like I promised so I thought I'd write a quick one tonight. I've been in the states for a month and a half and I have been so completely blessed. I have the most amazing friends, like SERIOUSLY amazing and I'd forgotten how great it is to be around them. I'm missing Thailand like crazy and have cried a couple times after talking to Aon and Ya over Skype but I know I'll be back there before long, In the meantime, I am enjoying myself and God is teaching me an abundance of lessons. And did I mention that I blessed? Because I am. REALLY BLESSED!

And now I'm going to bed because I'm exhausted and I think I deserve an early night. Love you all!
