The Year of the Rabbit

Today is the Chinese New Year; the year of the Rabbit.  I made stir fry and egg rolls for dinner to celebrate.  I should have worn red.  Anyhow it made me reminisce over my trip to Hong Kong a few years ago.  It was in January of 2007 (i think).  Isn't it weird how we can forget what year we took a trip across the world to CHINA?  but we do.

We saw some really beautiful temples, with awesome details.

We ate some really weird food; and some really good food.

I just like the idea that the Chinese have a good humor about themselves.



I think this might be graves.  Little areas where you can put some one's ashes in a temple.  If you open these little windows up you would see a name and maybe even a picture.  I took a lot of pictures of things that I probably shouldn't have because they were sacred.  At the time, my 20 year old self did not care so much.


All the lovely people I got to experience Hong Kong with.  My brother, sister-in-law, mom and dad.

The amazing city of Hong Kong and Kowloon.  I've never felt like so much of a country bumpkin in my life!  

Now that I know I can handle a large and crowded city like Hong Kong.  Shouldn't someone take me to New York next?

Here I am!


I’m a city girl who went to college in the small town in the middle of the USA. I have a lot of views and opinions. I am a crafty, witty girl that loves to jam through life. I’m easily recognizable by the girl who has a book in her hand and is also listening to her ipod. That would be me.

This blog is the narrative of my life. It is the story of me finding myself, learning who I am. I am growing up to become the woman that I will be for the rest of my life. This is my new beginning.
