Dublin, Ireland

Ireland was TOO amazing. The people were friendly, the food was unreal, and the scenery was gorgeous. Pub crawling and bus tours highlighted several days of final bliss before heading back home to the Sates. [nggallery id=17]

Current Obsessions

For some reason, I've been most obsessive lately. Here are a few things that I've been checking out:   Epsilon - Tap 46 I already love these ladies. I can't wait to get home & see all of them in real life.   B.J. This little bud...

525,600 minutes…

How do you measure a year? It's absolutely unbelievable how quickly a year passes. One year ago today, I was on my way back to America from my first student teaching trip to Thailand, and if you'd have told me then where I'd be right now, I would have laugh...

Dark & Twisty

I find myself falling, tumbling, crashing and breaking into a million pieces...each of which is pulled in sundry directions. Bittersweet is the only word that forms on the tip of my tongue, hardly adequate to describe the sick feeling in the pit of my stomach....

Bye Bye Buddha…

Background information: I have been sick since last summer. It's been a constant battle between my stomach and the food I eat. I've had dengue fever (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dengue_fever) thanks to a mosquito. I've stepped on rusty nails and had to get te...

Just Monkey’n Around!

Lopburi, Thailand~ Well, I've been hearing about this "Monkey Temple" lately, so Joey, Jessica and I decided to run take a look last Sunday. Oh, P.S. my girl Jessica Baker is in Bangkok right now student teaching at BCC! (happy dance) It's so nice to just have...

Jehovah Jireh

Wow. Really, as soon as I typed the words "Jehovah Jireh" as the title of this blog, my eyes welled up with tears. I can't really tell if they're happy tears or sad tears though. Much like my life, I feel like my emotions are just one big jumbled mess, and I c...

Scuba Shots

Here are a few shots from my scuba diving trip to Koh Lipe over Christmas. [imagebrowser id=11]

Christmas in BKK

Luke 2:14 - Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace good will towards men. This year, I avoided listening to songs with lyrics like, "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas" or "I'll be home for Christmas" or even "Rockin' around the Christmas tree" becaus...

Koh Tao

I went to Koh Tao in July 2010 and took a few shots. Note: I'm just getting used to this camera and lens. Some of the pictures are quite out of focus and lack good compositional technique.[imagebrowser id=8]

Bangkok

I'll just add images of Bangkok to this album as I take them... [imagebrowser id=9]

Left My Heart in Cambodia

There are no words to describe Cambodia. Writing about it seems almost futile because I find it near impossible to articulate exactly how amazing my trip was. It's absolutely tragic that I could only stay for 3 days because in all honestly, I would leave Bangk...

Storytime with Cwalk (Part 2)

I will start out this blog by listing the reasons that my mother utilizes Facebook. To post incredibly long status updates that she copies out of the daily prayer quote book thing that sits by the toilet in her bathroom. To post pictures of the dog a...

Home is where the heart is…

Well, the much-anticipated airport "movie scene" was kinda ruined thanks to me missing my flight from Atlanta to Asheville ('preciate that one Delta...BONK). So, instead of arriving in Asheville at 6pm, I got there at midnight, and Eric found me waiting on a c...

Beauty.

beau-ty [n.] - the quality present in a thing or person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind, whether arising from sensory manifestations, a meaningful design or pattern, or something else. What is beauty? What makes something beautifu...

BCC – Dance it out.

Hey guys...So here are some videos that I took from the Bangkok Christian College Anniversary Celebration. It was kind of a huge deal, and each department contributed to a school program to show off to the parents, teachers, School Board, alumni, and the rest ...

Welcome to the Real World.

Well...this month, the real world is officially smacking me in the face. Hello real world, I hate you. I went from livin' that good life to being straight up BROKE in about 2 hours flat. I got my July paycheck on July 28, which happens to be the exact same day...

Counting Down.

I've always been the Queen of Advice. (I'm also the Queen of Modesty if you haven't noticed, too. Haha.) I'm just saying...I pride myself in what I have so eloquently dubbed "Blackhole time" with my best friends. That's when whatever is said under the title of...

Living off X’s & O’s

Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, ...

Things Lately.

Well, I'm pretty sure I've officially reached slacker status when it comes to blogging. I sincerely apologize, but my life is absolutely insane this month. I'm doing the whole mid-term thing at work, so I'm having to write 120 progress reports about my stu...

Oh, silly me for thinking…This is Thailand.

Well, here I am at the great CoffeeWorld 24/7 coffee shop. It's almost progress report time, and I have a mile-high stack of papers to grade, so obviously I would opt to blog first. I mean, duh. That makes perfect sense right? So clearly I'm acclimating to Tha...

Storytime with Cwalk.

9-13 But in the end, does it really make a difference what anyone does? I've had a good look at what God has given us to do—busywork, mostly. True, God made everything beautiful in itself and in its time—but he's left us in the dark, so we can never kn...

Lighten up, Teacha Christin!

“The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your love, O LORD, endures forever— do not abandon the works of your hands.”- Psalm 138:8 Wow. I don't even know how to sum up the past few days. There are literally no words to describe the absolute peace tha...

Lucky.

The world always looks brighter from behind a smile.    -Author Unknown << Some of my 6th graders. This week has been unreal, and I'm pretty sure I'm the most blessed person on the planet. Though I was forced to fight through insomnia and my stud...

Glass half shattered.

I'm proud to say that I've recently become more of a glass-half-full kinda person. For some strange reason, I've woken up smiling over the past few days, and it's kinda weird...but I like it! This whole optimism thing is a good way to live, and I quite prefer ...

Close your eyes.

It's pretty unreal how you can read a Bible verse over and over again, and then one day it just clicks. The light bulb illuminates, and all of a sudden it's as if you see that verse in an entirely new light. What once seemed like mere words on a page, suddenly...

Sick. Social. Smiling.

Well, my immune system is still the same as it's always been and I'm sick. I've successfully made 3 consecutive trips to the hospital/doctor over the past 3 days--1) bloodwork, 2) work permit checkup, and 3) sick-ear/nose/throat doctor visit. After all of that...

Put your foot in my Nikes…picture you livin’ my life.

So...I've been such a slacker, and I'm fully aware of it. I'm kinda sick at the moment, so that sucks. I've felt it coming on for the past week, but of course I haven't slowed down one bit until I came to a crashing halt yesterday morning. I literally laid in ...

Absence.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Duh. If there's one thing I'm learning, that's it. But, absence isn't always a bad thing. I believe absence can be used to draw people together and make them closer. Absence separates a lot of things...of course it sep...

Wherever you are, be there.

My amazing big sister, Kyrie Barr, once told me this quote. "Wherever you are, be there." Just think about that for a moment. Where are you right now? ...at home? ...at work? Where is your mind right now? ...going over plans? ...checking off your to-do l...

These are a few of my favourite things…

Once upon a time, I asked my dear friend and roommate Taylor Mobley a profound question..."So, how do you know if you're bipolar?" She proceeded to tweet about it and laugh hysterically until she realized I was serious...then she just laughed some more. But re...

A Divine Conspiracy.

Church was unreal today. It never ceases to amazing me just how perfect God's timing is, even down to what the title of a sermon is -- today, it was entitled Happiness. AKA: "This one's for you, Christin. Love, God." To start it off, we watched a clip from "UP...

Thighland.

^ So...here's my apartment. It's all white and modern looking.^ Wow. So much has happened in the last couple days! I guess I've just been settling in, so I haven't really taken time to blog at all. Well, that and I really just haven't had any profound thoug...

Timing is Everything.

"Time is money."  -Benjamin Franklin "Life is all about timing…the unreachable becomes reachable, the unavailable becomes available, the unattainable…attainable. Have the patience, wait it out. It’s all about timing.” –Stacey Charter “Someti...

Free Indeed.

Freedom...The word itself has such different meanings for different people. For me, it's that extended sigh after a long day of teaching; it's those inevitable goosebumps after hearing the National Anthem at a summer baseball game; it's the tears in my eyes...

Idleness.

Buddha once said, "To be idle is a short road to death..."  Ha...ain't that the truth. I feel like I've accomplished absolutely nothing over the past week! I'm not a fan of being holed up in my apartment all day, every day, with only a quick 7eleven run to lo...

Real People.

My heart is breaking for the Thai people right now. Over 300 businesses and shops in Bangkok have been looted and destroyed over the past two days, and the nation as a whole is literally going through hell right now. Because of fires, Central World, CenterOne,...

Bombs Over Bangkok.

*Note: The title to this post is taken from a song called "Bombs Over Baghdad" by Outcast. It's been going through my head for a week so I couldn't help but apply it to Bangkok. That is all. Well, we decided to leave Koh Samet and head back to Bangk...

Sweat. Sand. Bugs.

I physically felt my homesickness today. Like, my heart literally hurts and I feel like I'm going to throw up. That's crap, because I want to enjoy my time here, but I just can't shake these homesick blues. The US Embassy in Bangkok had an online meeting t...

Ling Ting Tong.

"I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety." -Psalm 4:8 To escape the violence in Bangkok, we decided to hit up Koh Samet for a few days. I mean, if you're gonna escape somewhere, it might as well be a tropical islan...

“God Of This City”

I have so much to say today, but if I wrote an entire blog about what's on my mind, it would just be me going on and on about my own cares and concerns. I know Bangkok is in the midst of chaos and violence right now, but God is still God. Prateep drove Alyse, ...

Oh Daeng.

***Fun fact of the day: the Thai word for red is "daeng" (pronounced dang); ex. Mob Daeng = red mob. Well, it all went down today. Looking back, going down to Silom and Sala Daeng yesterday was probably the worst idea ever...yet I am SO glad I did it. I'm g...

Tour de Bangkok.

So, I woke up at 4am to the sound of Skeeter's arm hitting the dresser. Normally, the soft sound is inaudible because the air conditioner is so loud...but not today because my power got shut off. Originally, I thought it was because of the government was crack...

Subtle glow.

So that picture up there is the view of this area of the city from my room at BCC by the way...be jealous. Ok, so tonight is evidently the big night for the government to crack down on the Red Shirt protesters. All of the power and water is supposed to be cu...

Flyin’ solo.

Well, I'm here in Bangkok, Thailand...and I'm already homesick. As opposed to my last trip here, I'm alone. Iyaz got it right when he said, "I don't wanna walk this earth if I gotta do it solo...solo." Word. This sucks. I literally cried myself to sleep on my ...

Graduation 2010.

Well, today was the big day. Looking back on it, it feels like a dream...not one tiny bit of it seems real to me right now. The sun was shining and the temperature was a perfect blend of warm and breezy. Everything was right with the world...oh, except the fac...

I can’t do this.

I'm good at a lot of things, but goodbye is certainly not one of them. I honestly don't think I've cried this much...ever. In 2 days, my life as I know it is over. Everything changes after I walk across that stage on Saturday. I know it's really nothing in com...

Everything changes.

Well my website is up and running! I have no idea how to maintain it, but that will come with time I guess. I feel as if I'm floating in limbo right now, in some sort of world full of hoops to jump through and to-do lists to check off. AKA: I'm graduating in a...

I’m falling apart…I’m barely breathing.

Words can barely describe the place that I'm in right now. Falling apart is an understatement. With so many questions racing through my mind, and my heart stopping and starting in confusion, the only direction I have to look is heavenward...yet, no answers fal...

Seriously?! Seriously.

After a year of oblivion and naivety...I realized with a little bit over a month left here that I've found something. The real question is...is it worth fighting for?

Distracted.

I have so much to do...it's absolutely ridiculous! Visas, flights, yard sales, taxes, bills, student teaching stuff, and all sorts of other things are just bogging me down right now! UGH! I feel as though I can't even breathe! My excitement is escalating with ...

Fading.

I can feel myself fading into the background. Everything is a constant reminder that I'm on a time line. My Cleveland hourglass is quickly running out of sand, and with that always twinging in the back of my mind...the insignificance of most things slowly melt...

Spiritual Warfare

So ever since I decided that I'm going back to Bangkok, the spiritual warfare has just been overwhelming. I feel like I've just straight up pissed the Devil off, but I don't care. I feel so close to God right now, and it's amazing! I seriously woke up from a d...

Decision Made.

After a ridiculous amount of prayer, I've made my decision. I've received countless bits and pieces of advice, but my pastor put it plain and simple. He said, "Determine what God's purpose is for you going or staying...then you will have the answer you're wait...

Cleveland…Welcome Home.

Well, it's 3:48a.m. and I haven't even been back in Cleveland 12 hours yet. Thanks jet lag for the late night. Though it's been awesome to see all the smiling faces of my long lost friends, I've still found myself to be completely discontent and fighting the u...

Day 49: Man in the Mirror.

In the words of the great Michael Jackson...I'm gonna make a change, for once in my life.It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference, gonna make it right.As I turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat,This wind is blowin' my mind.I see the kids in t...

Day 48: The Return.

Well, we had to check out of the YMCA at noon...and our flight didn't leave until 10:30pm. AKA: We were loaded down with luggage, and no where to go. So, we piled in a turbo tuk and headed for the Airport Plaza Mall. (Where we searched for 3 hours the other da...

Day 47: Lions and Tigers and Elephants…OH MY!

So today was our last full day in Thailand...UGH! I hate that, but when life gives you lemons...throw it in some sweet tea and drink it up.Lions and tigers and elephants...OH MY! Ok, that was a little cheesy. Haha. So...best thing about today: I HUNG OUT WITH ...

Day 46: Take a good, hard look at our…ELEPHANT!!!

So today was unreal. I RODE AN ELEPHANT!!!! Ok...so random geeky fact: Did you know that you can tell the difference between an African elephant and an Asian elephant by looking at their ears? Oh...yes you can. African elephants' ears are bigger because it's h...

Day 45: Will you be my…Chinese person?

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Well, Chinese New Year that is. I’m just sayin’, we didn’t get to celebrate OUR New Year because we were on a plane, so why not jump on that Asian bandwagon and celebrate now? Aaaand…who really likes Valentine’s Day anyway? Not this g...

Day 44: Lang Lang…Bad Choice.

Well, the sickness continued on into today. Bonk. It was slightly miserable, but I tried to suck it up and not whine too much. Alyse and Allison convinced me to get out of bed and eat breakfast around 11am (haha), and then we walked about 20 minutes down the r...

Day 43: Giving up my dreams for HIS.

Well, so much for the waterfall and temple. I woke up feeling sick this morning, so after we ate breakfast, I decided to just sit that one out and chill at home today. It's all good though, because I got some rest and had a chance to just be alone. I read a lo...

Day 42: Just a small town girl…

How perfect it is to be able to just sit and watch the sunset...with nothing to do other than hang out with some of the world's greatest kids. I know I keep comparing Chiang Rai to Bangkok, but it's ridiculous how much more at home it feels here. It reminds me...

Day 41: Chiang Rai.

It feels like I'm in a dream...one big, fat, surreal dream. We overslept this morning and almost missed our flight, but thank God it all worked out perfectly. I would have been the most disappointed and pissed off person on the planet if I missed coming to Chi...

Day 40: See Ya Bangkok!

Well, it's been fun...but it's time to move on up North I guess. Oh Bangkok, I'll miss you...but definitely not your smog and pollution. Allison and I went by the school today to pick up our student teaching packets, so that was the final goodbye to BCC. After...

Day 39: Farewell.

Today was just a chill day...I slept in and relished the fact that I didn't have to wake up at 6:30am to go to school, though it was slightly bittersweet. Allison and I had full intentions of rollin' into school today to pick up our student teaching packets, b...

Day 37 & 38: Island Getaway.

So, I'm gonna have to say that our trip to Koh Sumet was probably the most unplanned, ghetto, eventful, and fun thing we've done so far in Thailand. I really don't know what we thought it was going to be like, but we left Bangkok thinking it would be easy just...

Day 36: Curve Ball.

Day 35: Bangkok…TAT IT UP!

Well, I just Skyped my dad and broke the news, so clearly that is going to be the first thing I publicly announce......I GOT TATTED UP IN BANGKOK!!!!!! I got the Thai word for "patience" on my foot. (Ironically, the Thai culture hates feet because they are the...

Day 34: Doin’ it up right.

Bangkok is the place to be. There's always something going on, especially in the area where we're living next to Siam Paragon. We walk down to the food court every night and seriously...yall probably think I'm lying...but every night there's a different set up...

Day 33: Reflecting.

God is so amazing. I don't understand Him most of the time, but I live for those moments of clarity. You know, when just for a split second...it's like you can see the big picture, the whole point of everything in light of eternity. It's during those moments w...

Day 32: “I’m the chopstick champ!”

Sad sad Monday...last week of teaching my precious Thai nuggets. But other than the fact that the end is looming over me, it was an amazing day! I was formally observed for the second time today, this time by Christian, and my lesson went really well. My heath...

Day 31: Changed.

Last night at Sala Daeng changed me. Honestly, there are no words. I was well aware of the fact that Thailand was big into sex trafficking and all of that, but I saw it first hand last night. To preface this, I will say that I have not once felt threatened in ...

Day 30: Lazy Day.

It feels good just to do nothing on a Saturday, but lots of free time means lots of thinking. And you KNOW that's never good. I'm missing home a little bit today...Though I'm sad about leaving Thailand soon, I can't help but look forward to snuggling with my d...

Day 29: We Are Farmers.

TGIF people! I had another crazy day at work/school...I taught and observed non-stop, but the day goes by so much faster when there's no down time. I'm trying to just soak up every minute I have with my Thai students, because I know that I'm going to miss them...

Day 28: Bright Lights. Big City.

I had my first formal observation at school today! I taught David's English class, 6/9 (they're my favorite), and they were angelic! I taught them how to sing the song "Do, Re, Mi" from "The Sound of Music" and it felt like I was a chorus teacher! I kinda like...

Day 27: “I see you…”

I FINALLY SAW AVATAR!!!!! Ok...so the trailers made it look like the most retarded movie ever, but I trusted Allison when she said that it was unbelievable. And yes, like most times, the girl was right. It was absolutely amazing, especially in 3-D! I can't be...

Day 26: Happy Australia Day!

So seriously, today is Australia Day! It's like our 4th of July in America, I guess, and it's my new favorite holiday! We left work at 4 and went straight over to the Aussie boys' hotel/apartment and celebrated with an amazing dinner and swimming! Ok...I just ...

Day 25: Monday…Ugh.

Monday. Probably my least favorite day of the week...because it's the farthest day from the weekend! But, on a happy note: I love teaching, and I love my kids. Therefore, Monday's don't suck as bad as they potentially could.Allison and I decided to go back to ...

Day 24: Beach Again? Sure…Why Not.

Well, today was another beachy day! We went to Hua Hin again to hang out and work on our tans! And yes...we look like lobsters even though we put on sunscreen. Oh well...red's better than white right? And my hair stayed stick straight at the beach?! I'm still ...

Day 23: “What goes up, must come down.”

Tourist Day...fail. Ugh it was not even fun at all really, but of course we made the best of it. I had a good time hanging out with the other girls on our trip...Alyse, Heidi, and Alicia. (Oh, by the way...it's not just Allison and me over here in Thailand! Ha...

Day 22: Non-Stop.

So today was ridiculous. Guess how many breaks I got at school today? ZERO! But I mean, I did it to myself, so that's about all the complaining I can do. I picked up every class I could to make up for being sick this week. I'm an OCD schedule person, so I'm al...

Day 21: Sick & Tired of Being Sick & Tired

Today was the most uneventful day ever. Allison and I slept til 11am and then went in to work for the second half of the day. It still felt like a full day at work/school. We're still sick and look like drugged up zombies, but we're starting to feel a little b...

Day 20: Perfect Day.

(sigh) Today was such a great day. Allison and are are super sick, but at least we got to come home early from school/work. We're all drugged up, so hopefully we'll be all better by the weekend. I'm not EVEN tryin' to waste a weekend while I'm here! We're goin...

Day 19: Flat Hair & Tummies…HoYeah!

First of all...I would just like to say this. I miss ONE TREE HILL, VAMPIRE DIARIES, and JEOPARDY! My wireless is so unreliable that I can't watch anything online. Oh, and I'm in freakin BANGKOK with so much to do and places to explore that I have zero time to...

Day 18: I’m a big person in a little world!

I talked to the parents last night on Skype...and yes, I can also admit that I talked to my dog over Skype, too. She didn't get it; she just heard me and looked at the door. Sorry Chloe, I'm not coming home for another month. But it was good to talk to Madre &...

Day 17: Got our hair did…

We're bringin' sexy back.......to ourselves. We went to the hair salon with Kosum this morning, and 4 hours later, we felt like new women! Tan? Check. Sexy hair? Check. So...we've completed the first two steps in our amazing transformation from "fat, pasty whi...

Day 16: Independent Beach Babes!

I got my toes in the water...butt in a chair.Not a worry in the world, and the wind in my hair.Live is good today...mmm life is good today.TODAY WAS BEACH DAY!!!!!! We went on a day trip to Hua Hin beach, which is about 2 and a half hours from Bangkok. We took...

Day 15: Waffle Dogs Are My JAM!

TGIF, people! Our first full week of teaching is officially complete! Today was absolutely the most boring day ever at work. All of my students were gone because the 6th graders went on a scouting trip, and the 5th graders just didn't have to come to school. (...

Day 14: Thursday is the New Friday.

Today was the most bipolar of days. I woke up miserable because I literally coughed all night long. This pollution is killing me. So, the day was looooong and tiring. I taught English all day long, and I had a great time doing it...but the day just drug on and...

Day 13: We Wear Purple On Wednesdays…

I don't know if I've said this yet...but Bangkok Christian College's colors are PURPLE and gold. It's seriously like a purple heaven...it's everywhere! Yeah Epsilon! Whenever I take my camera to school, expect to see lots of E's being thrown up by all my cute ...

Day 12: Bangkok Adventure

After a long day at school, teaching four periods of math to 5th and 6th grade boys, I was ready for a break. Allison and I peaced out of BCC right at 4:00 and began our adventure. We hit up the skytrain and went straight to our favorite mall food court at Par...

Day 11: It’s a Michael Jackson Kinda Day

Well, it's Monday, and amazingly it didn't suck! I had fun in my classes, and I'm still loving student teaching at BCC. It's really not that hard to wake up at 6:30am every morning. I rocked out to my iPod on the way to work and I can already tell that this is...

Day 10: Got This On Lockdown.

Well I'm sitting in the lobby area of our apartment complex listening to some guy play the piano. This is the area with wi-fi and all the students living here congregate in here. It's really quite tonight, though, so the piano music is perfect and adds to my c...

Day 9: ‘Ello Mate!

Today was our first day of independence. I say that with a slight smile on my face, but a tear in my eye. (Haha...I'm so poetic.) I just mean, it feels good to be able to explore Bangkok on our own, but I'm incredibly sad that Mama Jo left us. It's scary being...

Day 8: Gettin’ Down & Dirty.

Today was a GREAT day! Allison and I got to go "survey a summer camp site" with the EIP department. AKA: We rode ATV's in the mud and rain, climbed a rock wall, and completely owned 4 guys in archery. I was slightly distracted because I called my dad for Bama ...

Day 7: The Office.

(sigh) I just love my little Thai kids. I had the chance to help out with 2 English classes and a math class today in 6th grade. I loved it! So we're working on fluency in English, and Teacher David has the most amazing way to do so--singing! I walked in the c...

Day 6: The First Day of the Rest of My Life…

So I guess you could say that today was the first day of the rest of my life. Teaching is my life now. Besides summers off (thank God!), this is how I will spend my days until I'm old and gray...and the way things are going, retirement probably won't even be a...

Day 5: Livin’ the Dream.

Well, I made the mistake of going to bed at 8:30pm and so I ended up waking up about 4am this morning. I popped a TylenolPM and quickly passed out until 10:30am. Haha. Things are going well so far, but the voltage/converter thing is quickly becoming a problem....

Day 4: I’m in LOVE, I’m in LOVE, and I don’t care who knows it!

So...I'm in love. We moved to Bangkok Christian College today, and it's absolutely unbelievable. As soon as we walked in the gates we were greeted by hundreds of screaming, playing, amazing Thai boys! And at that moment, Thailand stole a tiny piece of my hear...

Day 3: This peanut even tastes like THAI! (vomit)

Ok, so I for sure feel like death. I threw up today...and I've officially decided that I can NOT eat Thai food. Even the smell makes me want to vomit. Ok, so with that said and out of the way...I'll talk about everything that happened today. A day in Thailand ...

Day 2: Spoiled Brats & Permanently Messed Up Kankles.

Oh. My. Gosh. Today was unreal! Dr. Higginbotham (aka: Mama Jo) spoiled the CRAP out of us! We got an hour-long Thai massage (only $11!)...and Allison and I were the lucky ones who ended up with Thai GUYS rubbing their hands all over us. Ehh, not as awkward as...

Day 1: 24 hours later…we’re in Thailand!

Well, we just got to Bangkok, and the Thailand journey begins!!!!! The 23 hour trip was sooooo long! I absolutely love planes and airports, but I must say, my kankles are unbelievably huge, and our luggage got lost. BOO! We took a taxi to our hotel and had to ...
