I started this blog as a way to update (and let's me honest, vent) during the long and trying process to adopt our Cassie from Mexico. Now we live on an island called Batam in Indonesia. So the Daughter Journey has shifted from what it took to get Cassie home to what it's going to take to survive as a family of four Texans in Asia. Here Mike works six days a week, ten hour days. So it's up to me, and I've never been less prepared for anything. But I'm game!

Only 6 more weeks
I've decided not to come back to work next year. I'm pretty happy with my job and I know I will miss being up here at Jack's school. Plus Cassie will probably be here in a couple of years, if we still live here. But I CANNOT take being away from her any longer.
I am completely irrational about it but when I think about all I missed: she first crawled at daycare, she first walked at daycare, I missed the first six months of her life. I mean come on! I'm so outta here!
And we will be poor, broke, pitiful people and I HATE asking Mike for money but I think even he is on board now. I just thought I would share all this today, on my birthday. Happy Birthday me, you get to quit in six weeks!
I need to post some new pics and videos. Cassie has lots of hair these days.
