The Expat Life, year #2- settling in for the long haul
I honestly cannot believe its been 15 months already that we have lived in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Time sure does fly by when you are having fun….and living in a foreign country….and traveling a ton….and meeting new people…..and expecting your first baby……and the list goes on, and on, and on- you get the [...]
Safety Tips- Kuala Lumpur & around the globe!
Kuala Lumpur is like many big cities around the world- there are some dangers to be aware of. The most common form of crime here in KL is purse snatching, car theft, and home theft. Its never too late to be more prepared and recently I attending a Self-Defense class hosted by the American [...]
This is part 2 of our baby moon to Vietnam….you can read about part 1 in Ho Chi Minh City, by clicking here. Happy reading!
Where do I even begin? Typically the whole goal of a baby moon is to relax and enjoy some time alone before [...]
Forgive my delay in writing about our recent “baby moon” to Vietnam. It’s been a whirlwind of a couple weeks since being home and quite honestly, my creativity just hasn’t been flowing….I think my mind is too caught up on baby prep stuff! In any case, here is part 1 of our baby moon in [...]

USA Holiday- 3 baby showers & a wedding!
Whoa, I’m still recovering 2 weeks after returning from a whirlwind trip back to the USA. But who am I kidding, every trip home to the states is a whirlwind for us- no matter how much, or little, time we spend there due to the nature of the beast…that is trying to [...]
I don’t typically post about too many personal thoughts & ramblings on life, let alone personal thoughts with a religious undertone, but this I could not let go…..so here goes nothing!
This past Sunday, I was asked to read a verse from the bible in church. I had never done [...]
Expat Life Update: 1 year Anniversary in KL!
April 5th, 2012. This day marks our first day in our new hometown of Malaysia. Its been a little over a year now and I simply cannot even believe how quickly time has flown by during the first year of our 1st expat assignment in Kuala Lumpur. I say “first assignment” because even though this [...]
Banking in Malaysia can be described in 1 word: adventurous. I use a positive word because if I didn’t, than I may just put myself in an angry mood for a while as I type so instead I will say, it’s an adventure. I am sure, like many other expats, that we are not the only [...]
