Ok, so I probably shouldn't but I always look through old photos.  I just came across some good ones of Josh and I and one with Kayla.  The shot of Josh and I is from our stint year 2003.  We were in a city close by for a retreat and we found these fake guns.  The other pic is from our trip to CA in 2007.  Kayla was 6 months old. 

So, I am attempting to add a video to my blog, but it is taking forever, so I will download some pics in the meantime. 

Here is Guinness last week.  He is now 2 months and 2 weeks old.  Loves to sleep and be really cute.
Here is Kayla with her "guys". That's what she calls her stuffed animals

max'n and relax'n
here is kayla in her pool.  The water is really cold, so she is only got in to her ankles
I said "smile"

Here are some pics of Josh and I through the ages.  I wish I had some pics from 2000, but i don't even think I owned a camera at that time in life.  Anyway, enjoy how silly we looked and how awesome we look now. :) hhahha

3 weeks

We have been home 3 weeks now and I feel like "Asia" was a lifetime ago.  I don't know what it is.  Maybe the grocery stores that speak to me with loving prices, or the outlets an hour away, but I have missed this place.  I do of course miss my other life.  I do feel like it is another life.  Not many responsibilities like bills and car insurance, but other stresses like being "found out" or "kicked out" for that matter.  Asia was but a brief chapter in my life, but it seemed like the best one yet.  I had my two kids there, spent the first few years of my marriage there and made some incredible friendships (shout out to my gina & canadian friends).  There is something to be said though for being in the same country as your family.  I talked to my sisters all the time thanks to vonage and being only 2 hours off from them now seems a little nicer.  All in all, it is nice to be home, but I would like to go back.  Here are some pics of things I will miss about Asia.  Also some pics of my kids. :)
