One year

Exactly one year ago today I started feeling cramps while watching Survivor. Turns out the "cramps" were actually contractions and about twenty-six hours later K was born!

As I type this and reminisce on the events of last year, a part of me still cannot believe my baby girl turns one tomorrow. Time certainly flies when you're with the ones you love. 

You don't need souvenirs to remember

J, K, and I are finally home again after spending three weeks in Asia! En route home we realized that we really didn't do much shopping nor did we pick up any souvenirs for ourselves along the way. Instead our money (other than food, flights, and accommodations) was spent on experiences (read: tourist attractions in Beijing, parasailing in Boracay, etc), and at the end of the day I wouldn't have had it any other way. Building memories with my family? Yah, I'd say that's money well spent. :)
