This final Thailand post has taken me a while to put together, I’d wanted to put it up a month ago but with all the photos to go through and the house hunting process in full swing, this post kept falling by the...

There’s something about the way a cookie crumbles in your mouth after a dip in a glass of milk that brings back instant nostalgia for most folks. For me, oreos were my go-to childhood cookie. They were so dry and crunchy that they readily...

Well the home buying process is back on track, and aside from still having more paperwork to do (Seriously, how and why is there SO MUCH paperwork? I’d rather run a 5k than go through my bank statements one more time at this point.)...

  I was able to get out of town the past few days and go up to Missoula, Montana where Jeremy’s family lives. It was a welcome break from the craziness of the past few months, the fresh mountain air and beautiful scenery did...

  Things have been moving very quickly here. I’ve been immersed in many photo projects, much writing, and keeping tabs on the home-purchasing which has hit a small snag with the appraisal, (but that should be resolved soon). Sometimes when the world seems to...

We spent our time in southern Thailand at a few different places. First, we arrived in Phuket, which is a very long island. Arriving there after our stay in the north was a bit of a shock, since Phuket is kind of the Venice...

Curry. Just typing it makes me miraculously hungry and happy at the same time. Coconut curry was on of the many flavorful dishes I learned in Thai cooking school, and, very unsurprisingly, it was my absolute favorite one. Something about curry has always had...
