Chapter 3: What an Adventure



The BIG Move.

I call this chapter 3 because it has definitely been new phase in our life. We officially moved out of our beloved United States of America.


I have even provided you with a map. Orange = America and Green = Indonesia
Now show your kids and pretend like you knew where Indonesia really was.....

Through this whole process I have heard "oh what an adventure" "what an amazing experience" which  made me personally think of what those phrases really meant. 

TO me this is what it means:

“To venture causes anxiety, but not to venture is to lose one's self.... And to venture in the highest is precisely to be conscious of one's self.” 
― Søren Kierkegaard

“Adventure is allowing the unexpected to happen to you. Exploration is experiencing what you have not experienced before.
― Richard Aldington

“I'm an adventurer, looking for treasure” 
― Paulo Coelho

“Every day God invites us on the same kind of adventure. It's not a trip where He sends us a rigid itinerary, He simply invites us. God asks what it is He's made us to love, what it is that captures our attention, what feeds that deep indescribable need of our souls to experience the richness of the world He made. And then, leaning over us, He whispers, "Let's go do that together.” 
― Bob Goof

Good or bad, I'm still not sure if "this" is an adventure. It is simply my life.
-Sarah Bindrup  You CAN quote me.


Rich, Els and I traveled by plane obviously. I was dreading the 24 hour flight with a baby. However, I truly lucked out and somehow landed a perfect baby for the flight. She was fine...the entire time. No crying spells, no throw up stories, or diaper mishaps. Just a long boring flight, which I don't mind.

Els just hanging out. Being a good little girl.

                                  

      We stopped in Seoul Korea after our first 15 hour flight for the night. Perfect stop. Beautiful place -

The flights were long. But I feel very blessed to have had such a wonderful baby and positive husband through the whole process. (diapers, bottles, formula, toys, bows, wipes, food, clothes, OH mY!) It also helps that Asians generally just LOVE babies...crying or not. Korean Air was marvelous.
