I’ve returned to America for a month-long visit and will be updating from March. Bare with me as there is a ton of new stuff to add. Feel free to poke around the old blogs and read the new ones. There are A LOT!

In 2008 I participated in a cultural exchange program with a university in East Asia. I enjoyed my time and really came to love the culture and the people, so much so that I decided to come back for a whole year! Now that I have completed my first year, I decided to stay for yet another year – so the adventures continue.

You are invited to join me in the adventures that come with readjusting to a completely different culture and all the drama that this life holds.

Let It Rain - Michael W Smith

This morning, as I was doing my normal weekly walk, I decided to extend the walk for a while. I started my walk by listening to music and just thinking. As I was listening, so live songs came on my iPod. I was so struck by the songs knowing that my family was gathered together singing these beautiful songs. I began to cry as I thought about our family. We are so blessed to live in America and to have the freedoms that we do. My hope and my desire is that we do not become so blinded by the everyday-ness of our freedoms that we forget how truly blessed we are. Becoming an ex-patriot has served to make me prouder of being an American than I ever was living there. Pretty ironic, huh?
