And So I’m Back, From Outer Space

25 Mar

..and it’s been one wild ride. Now it’s time to tell you where I’ve been and what I’ve been up to. But because it’s all so fresh, words, like paneer, can crumble if not given suitable time to simmer down. So we’ll do this in pictures, shall we? The little details will emerge when I’m readier.

Go on, guess the sequence of events aloud in the comments section. 🙂 Let’s see how right you get this. And those in the know, you can’t play!

[Click on the pictures if you’d like to view them larger.]

Ready? Set? Go!

Part I:

Part II:

Part III:

Have a great weekend! 😀

    and is Part II somewhere in Asia? It looks a little like Phuket but then I guess all beach locations look the same in such few pics! *hint hint*

    Uh-oh. Relocated? I thought you went there for a trip.

    But, yay! That place is beautiful, isn’t it?

    And by Part II I meant to ask about the location… it obviously was the honey moon 😀

    koh samuiiiiiii!!! isnt it amazing. The toddler met a monkey there and he is convinced Bubbles stepped out of the pages to say a hello. No place has lived up to Samui the Island of Bubbles since then…he has been asking for the Island of Sodor in recent times though.

    Be happy together, wherever you are
    Stay happy together, forever more.
    Tell us much, or tell us none
    As long as your two hearts beat as one.

    God bless you both and huge hugs which I hope to actually deliver some day!

    Always Happy Kya: I remember you. 🙂 Are you in the area too?

    aneela: That’s Koh Tao island. I arrived looking like OJ and left looking like a lobster.

    Mom Gone Mad: Thanks, yes, I’m having a great time here. 🙂 You know, it’s the oddest thing, I’m certain the ring wasn’t on the middle finger (it wouldn’t fit there anyway) but it looks like that, doesn’t it? 😕

    spbroad: Thank you. 😆 I feel like a grandma, being asked to churn ’em out.

    smartassbride: Hello, fellow bride. 😉 You’ll know, by and by.

    girlfriend: You would, if you took a flight westward instead of east!!

    hi,
    this is my first visit to your blog , you wrote this way back in July 2008

    “Mom (smilingly): Someone told me you’d get married at 32.”

    seems that your mom was right 🙂
