The 1-Year Mark

Can hardly believe I haven't posted since Hope's birthday in August...a little ashamed of my blog neglect.
Started with not feeling like I had anything exciting to post about then it turned into so much time that it has been hard to pick it back up.  But here I am...back at again!

Last week we hit the 1-year mark of arriving here in Chiang Mai, Thailand.  With this milestone I thought it would be good to share some "fun-facts" that we have learned since living here.

1.  Don't bother spending any amount of time doing your hair if you plan to ride a motorbike to where you are going.  The helmet ruins your "do", no matter how long or short amount of time you have it on.

2.  The "3-second Rule" for food falling on the floor/ground does NOT apply in Thailand!

3.  Just because the sun is shining and the weather is hot does not mean you are on vacation.  This would be more specific to my Pacific NW readers ;-).

4.  There are more coffee stands in Chiang Mai than there are in the Seattle & surrounding area.  I would bet on it!

And most important I have learned that my family is my team!  God has been so faithful to keep us healthy and provide for all of our basic needs. I will admit, there have been some very hard times during this last year, but God's love is so powerful to get us through the good and the hard.

We look forward to what the upcoming year has in store whether here in Thailand or where ever in the world God directs our path.  Will keep you posted...

This is my life as a traveling mother,
