{oh, happiness}: September 2012

http://jenamorrison.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html

No one said this was going to be so hard. Quick dip down out of the honeymoon phase. No matter how many times i looked at that chart and no matter how much i mentally prepared myself and told myself this day would eventually come, it still came. and it was still hard. My friend, who has lived here for over 10 years, told me that she completely understands and if i could put words to those feelings then a lot of people overseas would be able to resonate with them.

{oh, happiness}: August 2011

http://jenamorrison.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html

The past couple weeks have been non-stop and thankfully this week I will be in one place for more than a couple days. In the past month I've been to Galveston to Beaumont to Temple to Austin to Temple to Beaumont to Temple to College Station to Beaumont to Austin to Temple to Tyler and back to Temple. It's safe to say that I have been busy! A couple weeks ago I got the opportunity to meet up with Clay and Megan Sandoz. It is crazy to think that in less than a month I will be headed to training. Today...

Training - week one. Last Monday I arrived in the. Very small town of Union Mills, NC to CIT. Center for Intercultural Training). CIT will be my home for the next 9 weeks until mid-Nov! This week has been full of learning, meeting new people, gushing emotions, and so much fun. First highlight of the week was that I got to meet my partner going with me to Thailand, Kristen Foster. We've been talking on the phone for a couple months so it was exciting to finally meet my roomie for the next 2 years. Last we...

{oh, happiness}: terrible, awful, awkward, and just plain awesome.

http://jenamorrison.blogspot.com/2012/06/terrible-awful-awkward-and-just-plain.html

Terrible, awful, awkward, and just plain awesome. Because you know you love those kind of stories right? Because this is the awkwardness i feel then things like this happen to me. Let's begin with the worst or the terrible, awful as I like to call it. I said it in the same sentence that I said the word "God" and to a group of people I just met. Awesome. I mean probably one of the most embarrassing things I've ever done but now I will always be able to laugh about it. I guess if I can bring someone joy by...

{oh, happiness}: the start of summer...

http://jenamorrison.blogspot.com/2012/06/start-of-summer.html

The start of summer. Well technically it feels like summer all year round here but the start of what I will always classify in my mind as summertime. The last few weeks have been jammed packed with craziness as we hosted our first team from America and began teaching English at Kaset University. It's been the busiest, craziest, and most fun weeks I've had so far here! Last week we also started teaching English at Kaset and had over 80 students at our first class! Our first team was from Perimeter Church.

{oh, happiness}: a big fat Thai/Chinese/American wedding...

http://jenamorrison.blogspot.com/2012/05/big-fat-thaichineseamerican-wedding.html

A big fat Thai/Chinese/American wedding. They met when Kate came to America as an exchange student in high school. She became a Christian here in America because of her host family. They dated long distance for a couple years then Joel moved here to Thailand last year. The wedding was all day long 7:30am-10pm with a small break, but it was a blast. I even had the opportunity to direct the night part of the wedding at the ceremony! This is what i like to call cultures colliding.confused anyone? They put t...

{oh, happiness}: March 2012

Its that moment when. You're sitting in bed (which is also your couch and table) in your one-room. Room, eating sticky rice, and listening to the rain, and thinking how excited you are that its raining because that means it may cool down at least 5 degrees. and. You wonder is this really my life? Everything around you is 99% different than it was one month ago. You don't understand about 90% of what is being said either. You go to the mall and know where not one thing is.
