I haven't blogged for a while and a few people have asked me why. I'll give you a short synopsis of the events in my life since my last post in October.
Oct/Nov 2011 - Traveled to Thailand and the Philippines. The trip was amazing but I didn't blog because I didn't bring my laptop - just my iPad - and blogging by touch screen was just too much of a pain in the arse.
Dec 2011 - I got engaged!! Yay! If you are interested in that story, feel free to check it out on our wedding website at http://www.kimberlyandmark2012.com/
Feb 2012 - We bought a house!! It's a beautiful Florida home with our very own pool. Mark and I have spent countless hours preparing it (aka nesting). It is our oasis from the everyday chaos that is our lives.
Mar 2012 - I took on more responsibilities (than I'm probably capable of) at work. The stressors of a new job stuck me quite hard but I survived.
That brings us to June 2012 . . . and I am off to India . . . That may sound like I am not excited about the trip, it just means that it is my second trip and by now I am a seasoned traveler of Asia. I am thrilled to be visiting India again but the circumstances of this trip are significantly different. How, you ask? First, I'm not nearly as nervous (or scared) of the trip since I've done it before. Second, I'm traveling alone - Mike Pate will not be my traveling partner-in-crime and he will be missed. Third, I am visiting two new cities - Bangalore and Chennai. Fifth, and probably most personally difficult, I am leaving someone behind that helps balance me when the stress/anxiety takes hold.
I think that I will blog this trip a little bit differently, hopefully it works for everyone.
And with that . . . here I go . . .
