Changes
This is a very hard post for me to write, but you have all been with me through many changes in my life, so I wanted to include in you what's next for me. I will be taking some time off from the blog, in an effort to focus on my personal life. I am going through some changes, and will need strength and support to get through the next few months. Luckily, the people in my life have been unconditionally supportive and I can't say...
Bangkok Part IV
Today I have some pictures of the Grand Palace for you! I have around 500 because it is a huge place, so I really cut down to show you my favorites. The palace used to be the home of the king of Thailand, but he has since moved up and onward. Now, it's a large tourist attraction as well as where guests of the king will stay when in town.The "guards."Some decorations around the grounds.It's such a huge area with multiple...
Peanut Butter Mousse Cheesecake
As I was editing this post my mouth starting water, and then my stomach started to ache about 5 minutes later remembering how full one slice of this amazing cheesecake makes you!

Red Dragon - Bangkok, Thailand
Happy Monday! One of the nights in Bangkok we went to eat at Red Dragon. There was a large group of us, and we ate family style (which is how a Thai meal is usually served) over large round tables. It was cozy and interesting to say the least. You will have to forgive me when it comes to describing this food, I'm going to try my best and remember, but there were a lot of interesting things that will be hard explain!...
Bangkok Part III
Welcome back to Bangkok - where your shoes must be removed before you head into any temple. The Golden Buddha. Very interesting fact, many of the Buddhas that were made of gold or any other valuable mineral were painted over during war times,so that if it was taken the captures wouldn't know it's worth. The Golden Buddha has that history, and when they found out it was gold they must have been pretty excited!From the Golden...

You Are More Beautiful Than You Say
Since Mondays are usually the hardest day of the week I thought I would start out this week with Dove's amazing new advertisement. It's such a great message that we are all guilty of forgetting from time to time. It reminded me of a quote from the show My So-called Life, " People are so strange and so complicated that they're actually... beautiful." Happy Monday beauties!

The orange juice was actually orange and they had a variety of juices I had never even heard of. Noodles, noodles, noodles - Thai people love their noodles. Not a normal American breakfast but I gave it a try, and...
Bangkok Part II
Welcome back to Bangkok. This is one of my favorite pictures of the whole trip; looks like a stairway to the sky. I took it on our walk up to the top of Wat Saket. The bells at Wat Saket. The bells are used for a couple different things at the temples. They are used to wake up the monks, or to announce the prayer time. They are also thought to remove spells or evil spirits from a place or a person, and the...
