7: Awkward Silences

Have you have ever wanted to hear what “mildly traumatized” Becca and Tim sound like? We’re not even sure what happened this last week. Where are we? How did we get here? Who are you?

We had fun trekking in the mountains but, it’s been a hard couple of weeks and we are pretty worn out.

6: Apple Cider

We have a new house and we are living it up. Shopping trips. Eating dirt. Terrible menu mishaps. And, why is there a lock on the outside of our bathroom door?

5: So, Here Is the thing...

Some general updates about how we are doing. Stray cats. Work. And terrifying dreams about Mexican food.

Here’s that album of photos we mentioned.

4: Jet Lag

Tim and Becca have finally arrived in Kathmandu, and have had quite a few things go wrong along the way. Also, 12 hours of timezone change is terrible.

2: Why Wont You Stop Screaming at Me

Parenting. Vulnerability. One word to describe me.
