Mom in Thailand

It was so wonderful to have my Mom here with us for two weeks. She is back home safe and sound and we are so grateful. When she left she said she wasn't ever coming back, "TOO FAR!" but I'm hoping her experience is similar to childbirth, that she forgets the pain of that long flight and will return for another visit. Two weeks just isn't enough, it takes about 4-5 days just to get over the jet-lag and there is so much to see. I posted the few pictures I have of our time with her, she took the rest home on her camera. I forgot to download them. I've also included the pictures we took of our 'new' house my parents reminded me that I had never posted some. One of the neat thngs about my Mom coming is now when we talk about our home here, the school, our friends....she has a picture of all that in her memory. I think it helps her to share in our Thailand experience in a whole new way! We were all sad to see her go especially Nok, realizing she may never see her again and really devoloping a friendship with her. Love you Mom so much and thanks for making the LONG trip over, please pray for her, we sent her home with Dustin and Nathan's cold and she didn't feel well when I spoke with her this morning.

Summer 2010

Hi Crystal! Thanks for the encouragement to get me back to the blog world!

This is for you as I have no idea who reads this anymore and sometimes I get blog weary, it takes so much time, but I will always have some documentation of this time in our lives. I guess that is something!

I've compiled a lengthy slideshow of most of our summer adventures after the 4th of July at Joe's Boot Shop. I was negligent in taking pictures this summer (you will question that when you see how many pics I did take!) and missed capturing so many of my buddies I saw this summer. How in the world did I not get one picture of Tommy and June meeting us in Austin? Cyndi, Rach, Kate and Karen in New Braunfels, no pictures of Camp Travis, none of my 30th reunion, didn't get any at Dean and Cherylee's home, none of my most gracious host-Cecelia (love you by the way!), not a photo from the beautiful ladies luncheon at your new house, sure wish I had taken one of Tawni and Reagen, didn't even get one of our time with Grace Church and the amazing fellowship with all of you at the Fultz's new home, not a single one of the Shepherd's either and our time in their home and their sweet boys, wish I would have taken a pic of beautiful Em when we met for breakfast in D.C., hopefully Lisa will send me the shot that was taken of all my dear VA neighborhood ladies at the luncheon at Sue's....now you can see why I didn't take the time to blog this summer, I was way too busy visiting with so many of you. How God has blessed me with your friendships! My cup runneth over!!

We are happy to be 'home' in Thailand. Hawaii was a most wonderful place to break up the long trip. It was such a memorable and special trip with my parents. Dad flew home by himself and Mom braved the return to Thailand with us, she has a much greater appreciation of how far it really is! She will be here only a couple of weeks so I better run.
