When we posted our first post five and a half months ago, we had no idea where we'd be spending the next few months. That time now seems so long ago, a whole different life. We've made a new life here. A life not without challenges and frustrations, certainly, but one that feeds who we are in many ways. Looking to the future, we're still unsure where we'll live when we return to the States, unsure even when we'll return. We don't even know if we'll stay in Vietnam beyond June when our lease is up.
We love it here, and we hate it here. We miss our family and friends, and we are enjoying the adventure and the new friends we're making. We are fulfilling a dream we have both always had, but the fulfillment is bittersweet. The adjustment has been hard in many ways, and stressful. That stress came close at times to ending the adventure and our relationship, but now it has brought us to a deeper love and a deeper commitment to being on this journey together. Wherever it takes us.
Thanks for following our unfolding journey. We appreciate your comments and interest, they help us feel less distant, and we can use all the connection we can get.

We need to stay close to you as much as you need to stay close to us...love you both.
Hi guys,
Never having done anything as daring as you, I can just barely imagine how alone and isolated you must feel sometimes. From here it seems like such an adventure. You guys are so brave and I love that it is paying off.
