It is a good feeling being where you feel you should be. It also feels good going where you know you need to go. (That may have been difficult to follow . . .) You will bring good feelings with you wherever you go.<BR/><BR/>As far as a Thai name for your baby I have a perfect one for you! Jai, it can go with both a boy and a girl and it means "heart" in Thai. It is also a Sanskrit word but I don't remember what it means.<BR/><BR/>Although I have not been able to see you very much I will miss your happy face and your contagious optimism.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes for a good life in Utah and beyond.<BR/>SuzanneSuzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00828136806930032649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8177537458849422878.post-10066467994537481182008-11-08T11:53:00.000+07:002008-11-08T11:53:00.000+07:00I know many a soul who are so, so glad it is only ...I know many a soul who are so, so glad it is only 6 more weeks for you.

I never even thought about traveling to Thailand, but you have described it each week so beautifully I want to experience it too.

Your blog has actually been a lifeline I don't know if I could have done without. Waiting for letters and cards or relying on getting through the phone system would have been heart-hugging constantly. Thank you so much for this beautiful monologue that has helped me to also enjoy Thailand and its many interesting parts and people. This morning I told Doug that it has been nearly 12 months since we visited you there and we loved every minute of it. Our arms are ready to hold you close and shed some tears together instead of around the world. Yes, your adjustments will be as big of a growth experience as Thailand has been so I'm really happy that you are "ready" to return for your next big adventure, this time in Utah. We know that you will race through these next weeks just soaking up all the culture in Bangkok. It will be great and exhausting so I'm glad you have your trip home broken up a bit so you can adjust. With the Croshaws moving home, it will be the first time we have ALL lived in Utah at the same time for many many years. We will chain you all to your Utah home for awhile, so don't even think about your next foreign foray for awhile, K? I have enjoyed writing to Abbie, Grant, Christian, and Faith by email the last few months. Would you consider giving Jack a gmail account that i could send him some things? He could share them with Janie. We love you tons.

You've presented so well in words and photos your experiences and the exciting things Thailand has offered! It has been inspiring.<BR/><BR/>Then again, it's always nice to come home, and I'm sure you'll make the most of your time and opportunities in Utah, too.
