Another week in the books. We have now officially lived here two months—the longest I have ever lived in a different country. We are learning a lot and do really love it here. We've been getting used to working more (want to learn more about what we're doing? Shoot me an email!), and adapting to the [...]

Happy Nurses Week!
A week that I love so much! Being a nurse is one of the things that I am the most proud of. My meager year and a half of working with mamas and babies was challenging, difficult and tiring but it was also oh so rewarding. I have always said, and continue to stand by [...]
Our week in pictures!
Decided to just dump some photos instead of writing a whole blog—let's be honest, pictures are the best part anyways. Thanks for making it this far. If ya got any questions about us/what we're doing or you have any comments about my poor photography skills—drop a comment below (or an email works too)!
Motorbikes, new plants, a lot of baby smiles and one really cute frown!
What a week it has been! My goal was to try and update this thing once a week, but life is busy and living in a new country is full of exciting things, and so maybe I should just set a more realistic goal. Anyways, we have lived here a month! It is unbelievable. We [...]
Two weeks in the book!
Hi friends! We've successfully lived in southeast Asia for two weeks! It simultaneously feels like three days and also four months (maybe I'm still a little jet-lagged). These first two weeks have been full of getting acclimated to the city, figuring out our bearings and beginning language lessons. We were so blessed to have Nathan's [...]
Happy International Women’s Day (yesterday)!
Woohoo! Women are awesome, they are incredible, they are resilient and they are worthy of being celebrated. A day that I didn’t even know existed until last year, is celebrated so heavily here in Asia. From advertisements everywhere, to stores having special sales, to the flower carts on the side of the highway being packed with [...]
We made it!
We successfully traveled across the world, seven week old baby in tow. I would be lying if I were to tell you I was not jet-lagged (maybe three hours of sleep in the last two days), but I am so happy to be in our new home for the next couple of years. I am [...]
Hezekiah Blake
He is here! This little squish of baby that started out with a lot of morning nausea and transformed into uncomfortable heartburn and lack of sleep, he is here! I'm still vaguely confused on how he was once inside of me, but I couldn't be more ecstatic that he decided to come out. If you [...]
The Beginning
Hi there, Ana here. I decided to join the masses of young women who have a blog, even though I have little idea of what I'm actually doing (although I did have a blog during my college years, I think i totaled 50 views, impressive!). I thought I'd be upfront and frank with you.. please [...]
