It’s 5am and I can’t sleep. Jet-lag has been wreaking havoc with both of us. We’ve made plans to go for dinner twice and have ended up back in bed at the strangest hours. Despite our odd nocturnal tendancies of late, we’re both pleased to be back home and together again. John and I only [...]

These last few weeks have flown by. I haven’t had any time to write at all, and to be honest, I’m glad I prepared in advance because the last thing I’ve felt like doing is sitting around at home on my dad’s dial-up connection. A big thanks to my students, who have been kind enough [...]

Well, we’re off. I’m heading home for Christmas for the first time in six years. I have a wedding coming up in less than a month and I can’t wait to get home! Wedding planning and work has kept me extra busy this last month and I’m feeling more than a little burnt out from [...]

I haven’t written much about my health lately, only because I felt like I was boring everyone to tears. But, I keep getting emails from friends and family inquiring, so I figured I’d better give y’all an update. My hearing problems began almost a year ago this week.

Hmmm….indeed. Where did my vacation go? I was off for a week and like all vacations, it flew by in the blink of an eye, BUT, I took loads of photos and there are good things coming down the pipeline. John and I started the weekend off with an event I’ve been anticipating all summer, [...]

Whew! My mother is right. I’m like a cat with nine lives. Throw me off the roof and I always land on my feet. Summer has arrived along with torrential downpours every day, but things are really happening fast around the Kellenberger/Marshall household. Two months ago I was in the doldrums and now I’m back [...]

Yeesh. We’ve learned our lesson. Never ever take a four am flight when you’re leaving the States to fly back to Asia. We are so incredibly jet-lagged and ass-backwards that we can barely stand. Add 36 hours of flight and travel time to the mix just to get to Bangkok and presto – you have [...]
