Since our return to the USA was a week and a half ago I have had plenty of time to recover from jet lag. I have fallen back into my time schedule and am working at the horse farm again. I spent last week celebrating my return as well as my 21st birthday the fourth of July. While discussing the past month with my friends and family I found myself often talking about Malaysia and what I experienced. I am happy to report that I have stopped pointing with my thumb (even though Kevin has picked it up… Continue

DAH- DAAH-DAHHH! So today has finally arrived. And I must say I am so proud of our team. We pulled through it all.

The teams just aren’t playing like I expected they would. After visiting Perception Management this morning I found a Euro C… Continue

Note to self: Never use spray on suntan lotion, even 50 SPF. I luckily rubbed down early morning with some waterproof sunscreen so when we arrived at Port Dickson an hour and a half later, the hot equator sun didn’t make a quick relative of the lobster. Kelly on the other hand didn’t have such good luck. Although the beach wasn’t as luxurious, I still waded into the water and enjoyed a few rays. The pool was warm, yet relaxing. I was a bit disappointed that the Sunken Bar didn’t open all weekend… Continue
