India VLOG is on the BLOG



India video is up! The more I make the videos the more I love making each one. This one was especially fun to do. Our trip was just incredible. I will be honest and say the best part was going sans kids. We both love them, but it was so nice to have some extended time alone together. It reminded us of why we got married. We gotta rekindle the romance over here, haha. No, the everyday tasks just make things a little blah, and it was really nice to go away just the two of us. Just me and you (Lyndon)! I highly recommend to every couple to do that sometime. 

This VLOG shows our trip to India. We visited Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. I still need to post about Jaipur. It was my favorite place we visited. Saving the best for last. Like I said, it was so fun going just the two of us. This video will let you experience the spice market in New Delhi, the Taj Mahal in Agra, and the Amber Fort and Palace in Jaipur, just the name a few places. 

I hope that it motivates you to get out and see the world. Even if it just traveling somewhere different in the country or state you live in. Lyndon has turned me into a travel junkie, or maybe it is just city living (there is always something to do and see). I have become very passionate about getting out and exploring not just new places, but even my own neighborhood. Traveling opens and broadens your mind so much. The experiences and insights you gain from it change your perspective on so much. The more I see and experience the world, the more it strengthens my testimony that God loves each and everyone of us, that he created this beautiful world for us to live in. And that we are all his children and he loves us. We might not all have the same opportunities, but from my travels I have seen people happy everywhere I go. Another humbling testimony that sometimes less is more and to focus on what is important in this life. The world is a beautiful and incredible place. The more I see of it the more I love it and want everyone to be able to experience seeing it. 

India was a life bucket list item, and I am so glad/grateful/happy that we made this trip happen. Anyone who wants to experience incredible India really needs to. It's an amazing place. We used Melissa Tours and Travels and without them our trip would definitely not been the great trip it was. 

Till next time India. There were so many things we did not get to experience that we have to go back.

Traveling Half Way around the World

Image
We made it to Manila! We flew over the US and the Pacific Ocean to get here. Our total travel time was 55 hours. It was long but surprisingly not bad at all. Cosette was an angel and the Haneda Airport in Tokyo was like a hotel. If those two things had been any different attitude in writing would not be so positive. This odessy of a journey begun way before our first flight. Packing up our apartment for our subletters took a lot longer than we supposed it would. So instead of being refreshed and ready for the long trip over we were tried and I did not want to get out of bed. We got enough sleep to keep on going till our flight from NYC to San Fransicso where we tried to rest. That flight for me was the worst. Cosette did sleep but was up for a lot of it. The plane was cramped and Lyndon and I were seperated by the aile. Thankgoodness for kind and patient people who sat next to us. Playing at the San Fransico airport.   Our flight to Japan was awesome. We had a

Remote Learning Part 1

Image
Remote learning is over for now, thank goodness. We have been doing remote learning since March 20. We are experts at google classroom, zoom meetings, and google meets. It's been rough, but we did it!  This post is long and detailed about what each kid had to do everyday for school. It was intense. The kids did wonderfully. Their teachers are amazing! They worked around the clock to learn all the new technology, meeting with students individually. I received personal phone calls from them asking what they could do to help and also talking to my kids. I am so grateful for the teachers they had this year.  All three kids participated in remote learning. Each grade/teacher did something different. What they all had to do was answer and attendance question by noon, read for thirty minutes a day, and I-ready (an assessment program that helped determine where they were in math and reading).  Third Grade: Cosette's assignments were what she was doing in school. She completed two huge

Valentine's Day

Image
Happy Valentine's Day! This has become one of my favorite holidays in the last few years. This year especially I am really into it. It probably has to do with my sweet Lyndon who proposed to me on V-Day four years ago. Since then he has made Valentine's Day a fun and special day. He always surprises me with something fun. Usually we go eat some where fabulous and go see a ballet or opera. He likes to do something cultural on this speical day. This year I am getting into the spirit more. Cosette can do a lot more things. We made special Valentine's for our families and made yummy cookies. She kept sneaking cookie dough and eating it. She is my daughter.  The finished product waiting for Lyndon. I went to the Cake Boss Bakery last year to get Lyndon something for V-day and was inspired to make the dark chocolate bowls filled with chocolate covered strawberries. It was a lot easier that I anticipated. Oh, and that cloth on the table are the pajama pants
