If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we would find in each person's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility. -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The adaptation rewind

Welcome back to the american culture it has been. We are living it out in a transition period at my dad's while traveling back and forth to see family and friends all over Texas. We have missed our family and friends dearly. I thought I would give you a brief update on what this month in Texas has looked like for us....


Adaptation number 1. Bubbles and ribbon galore!!!! I guess I forgot what I made my bridesmaids do last year as I stare at a yellow paint pen and 200 bubble containers. My beautiful sister married her best friend Blake two weeks after we arrived.


Adaptation number 2. Hello BMW! There is a great story that goes behind this. Lets just say all is well with driving this thing. My dad graciously gave up his car for us for 6 weeks. It is so great, Ben likes to pretend we are apparently in WW3 in Colleyville, while he shoots "missiles?" at the other cars with the emergency brake.


Ben and I celebrated our first year of marriage on May 15th. What a year it has been. If you are a newly wed I honestly suggest you sell everything and move overseas. It is awesome.

Nope, it doesn't get much better than this.




Adaptation number 3. Bella was forced to wear a pink mini skirt while I was gone that may or may not have compromised her dignity.......


My mom has lovingly kept and cared for Bella this year, BUT, we have now be reacquainted after 10 months, so the whole pink skirt incident won't happen again. Only of course if we can get her on our plane back home.....my mom may fight to not let that happen. :)
