Finally!

Well, it has been such a long time since I have posted anything. Many reasons have contributed to my lack of new posts. Getting ready to move from Thailand back to Utah was a major production & took every waking moment (& many moments that I should have or would have rather been sleeping) that I wasn't doing school with the kids, carting them to various activities, or doing other family & home things. After we got here I was just so sad to not be living in our beloved Thailand anymore that I went through several months of feeling like nothing is exciting here, at least as exciting as things in Thailand, so what is the use of posting anything. I really felt like everything we do here is just the same as what everyone else is doing & unremarkable, so it was not exciting for anyone to read about the things that were going on. When we were living in Thailand, no one knew what our house, yard, neighborhood, car, anything looked like. It always felt special & exciting to write about our life & share pictures about things. That is how we felt we could still be a part & have you be a part of our lives. It has taken me 2 months to develop a more positive attitude about being here. While we still really miss our life in exotic & beautiful Thailand, we are enjoying lots of great things about life in the United States. I guess it is time to start back up on our blog again, although don't expect that I will change the name anytime soon. We will always be the ThaiNielsons. And, I still have so many pictures about things that I never got put up on the blog when we were in Thailand, that I will try to catch up & throw in some of those intermittently too. So, watch for the 1st post with pictures since we have moved back, coming very soon!
