Learning Chinese can be.....well, it can be a really good time!


When there is nothing else to do in China you can always practice your Chinese. Christine this is a just for you!!

Pictures.....YAY!!!

3-2-1 BUNGY!!!
I finally did it! I have been meaning to bungy jump for ages but just never got around to it until my trip to Thailand. I mean honestly, could there be a better place to do this? I think not! But then again I am a little biased.

So, Yes that is me up there in the orange shirt. What was i thinking you ask? Well the first thing that came to my mind at this point was, "Wow! This is a little high...Kelly what are you doing up here?!"

It was only 50 meters (150ft) which really isn't too high but it is still high enough! I honestly wasn't scared. The only time I got nervous was when this picture was taken. This was the point I finally looked down and saw that it was a fair distance to the lake below. When I got to the top the guy told me to stand up (I was sitting down) and walk to the edge so that my feet would be hanging over. Then he said "I will say 3-2-1 BUNGY! When I say bungy you jump!" my thoughts ".....umm... ok .....whatever you do kel don't hesitate! Just do it (I'm a big Nike fan..hahaha)."
About 2 seconds later, the time finally arrived. As he made the count down I just keep thinking "don't hesitate or you wont do it."  I was so proud of myself, when he said BUNGY! I did it with no hesitation. YES,  I am a winner.

Bungy Jumping it was a very exhilarating experience. So glad i got to do it. Next on my very extensive bucket list, SKY DIVING!!!





APPARENTLY SPEEDOS ARE FOR EVERYONE
Nothing beats a man in a speedo!! Enough said

Just FYI if you love the speedo look Thailand definitely does not have a shortage.



Dinner in a Pineapple. All that should be said about this very delicious meal is YUM!!

I thought this was the most picturesque scene. It reminds me of wallpaper for your computer.

First Things First

I have decided to start a blog! Miracle? YES!

For those of you who know me, you are quite aware of my dislike, and malice towards writing. I hate punctuation, I hate capitalization and i'm not exactly the best speller in the world. While it is true that I have a love for spell check, even I am aware that it does not catch all my mistakes (which by the way are many). So, what are you doing writing this blog you ask. Well, I have decided to take a new step in my life, this year I have decided to do things that are uncomfortable for me. That being said writing just happens to be at the top of my list, you know, along with moving to Alaska by myself, running a half marathon and driving in the snow. These are things that definitely cause me a good amount of anxiety but I see no better way to grow than to put a little stress on myself. It's like that old saying goes "what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger." For my sake I hope that is true!

Since I don't really like writing but I am challenging myself to do so I thought it would be a good idea to share as many pictures as possible, thus the title of my blog A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words. Sure, I will be writing here and there but if I have a picture to share my experiences the less I have to write and the less you have to worry about correcting my horrible punctuation, spelling and basic writing skills. Overall I think it is a win win for all. 

At the moment my camera is MIA so I will be relying on pictures of the past, but don't worry the pictures aren't that old just a few months. I will do my best to update this blog as often as possible and  will include as many pictures as possible. I don't know about you guys but I am a very visual learner and I love looking at pictures.

One last thing, please be patient with me!!! This is my first time doing this and still not sure how everything works but I will surely figure it out.......hahaha MAYBE!
