*WARNING* this post is long.......very long
It has been forever since I have updated but that is because I have been busy with the end of the school year, a trip to Thailand and Singapore, getting a new addition to the family, and some medical stuff.
First, the trip! I could write on and on about where we went, what we ate, what we saw and how amazing it all was but I think the pictures can do a better a job!

The trip was amazing and reminds me of why I LOVE to travel, its seeing and experiencing foods, cultures, people that are so different and beautiful and at the same so much the same. I already have an itch to plan the next trip, Paris? Brazil? Austria?
Also here is a video preview of the wedding we went to in Thailand. The Indians sure know how to throw a party!

Lastly, I had to have surgery on Friday. It was nothing major- very routine. We have started trying to have a baby and it has been more difficult than we thought it was going to be. Maybe in another post I will bore you with the details of my fertility struggles but for now, the surgery went great and all is well. Though it did cement my hatred of hospitals, even with the super sweet nurses and staff I had, I felt so uncomfortable the whole time. I was very happy to come rest and recuperate in my own bed with the best husband waiting on me hand and foot, nursing back to health.
So that is the lastest update of the past month or so, I have started my summer schedule of working part time and have a list of projects that I am ready to tackle so stay tuned for some DIY fun!
