An American Mom in Asia

As New Year’s Eve approaches and 2016 draws near, I finish blogging a series on my top 15 moments of 2015. This has been an incredible year. I can’t think of another year of my life that has been filled with so much accomplishment, first times, victories and significance. I loved writing these posts, creating the Instax photos moments, and remembering all that has happened this year. It was a beautiful year.

In case you missed any of the Top 15, here they all are in one place:

1. Moving Day
2. Conquering Fears
3. Street Kids
4. Language Learning
5.  Mastering Two Wheels
6. Me & the Koala
7. Paradise Found
8. A New Island
9. House Hunters
10. Village Adventure
11. New Normal
12. Cultural Immersion
13. Good Eats
14. Discovering Beauty
15. Farewell America

I’m so thankful that we moved here during this age of technology. Being able to update our family and friends with our ongoing transition and life here has been a breeze. I couldn’t imagine doing this move pre-internet. We are able to FaceTime, Skype, Facebook messenger, What’sApp, iMessage, email and Instagram our nearest and dearest basically whenever we want. All this technology and media has kept me mindful to be in the moment. I think that’s why I haven’t blogged too much this past year. I was focused on living, that I forgot to be capturing. But I think for 2016, it’ll be different. I’m ready to capture again and to document. I want to show the world what I see and how we live.

Thanks for the memories, 2015. I’m coming for you, 2016.
