One year older

It was Rose's birthday yesterday! The big 21. Congratulations Rosemary! You're the best cousin a girl could ever ask for.

Big news

We are sad to report that we're no longer in Thailand. We overstayed our welcome and got kicked out. Actually, no that's not what happened. The bubonic plague broke out in Thailand so we got pulled out. Actually, that's not what happened either. The bubonic plague only broke out in Burma, I think.

The reason we're home is because last Wednesday we stepped onto an airplane that brought us from Chiang Rai all the way to Salt Lake City with a few stops in between.

So here we are. Back to the boring old life again with no ostrich riding, bamboo carrying, watchtower building activities to report. For now.

Adios, Thailand. Thanks for being good to us.

Yi sip et....the big 21

I'm slightly embarrassed that I forgot to do this three weeks ago, but...I guess it's better late than never. Holly turned 21 years old on June 21. The golden birthday!

Most of you know how great Holly is, but I would just like to say that living here in Thailand with her for the past two and a half months has been pretty fun. Like living with your best friend all the time. We haven't had any huge arguments yet, just small squabbles that sometimes make our friends here feel uncomfortable until they realize we aren't really mad at each other, just making our usual banter. More like siblings than anything else.

Anyway, Holly is great.

Happy Birthday, Holly!
