Two weeks of uninterrupted fun. Oh, and no classes, kids, or work to worry about at all. It was great! I saw some very interesting things in Cambodia, some beautiful and some shocking. The Angkor Temples were phenomenal! Definintely a must-see for anyone who has the opportunity to travel around Southeast Asia.<br /><br />To quote Faye, "Cambodia rocks my world! Does it rock yours?" (This was after she'd had a few drinks!)<br /><br />Well, to put it in a few different words, I really enjoyed Cambodia. I will put up pictures soon...<br /><br />And by soon, I mean in a month and a half. Adam has loaded the pictures up on to the internet, so put the link up ASAP. I am not responsible for the captions, just so you know. Also, there are a TON of pictures, and Adam did a fantastic job putting the captions up. Hopefully tomorrow!Katie Carlsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01002360681587638989noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28300072.post-40773257715781795112007-01-17T05:36:00.000-06:002007-06-03T07:51:32.942-05:00Back to the grind.<span style="font-size:0;"></span>Well, Adam and I successfully made it back to Taiwan from North America. We had a fantastic time in both Decorah and St. John's (Newfoundland, for those of you that didn't know). Here are some highlights: <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><br /></div><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5027552604342986354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_acSzRpf-2Yo/RcV0dN90JnI/AAAAAAAAAAM/omuAB6e4RM8/s400/IMG_3042.JPG" border="0" /> Mom had a party so everyone could come over and check out Adam.

I guess if you've never heard of it before, it might be kind of funny.

It is one of the best birthdays I have ever had, and I owe much thanks to Adam. The day started out pretty normal. I went to work, got a funny card from my coworkers, taught the kids, and got a couple of funny presents from them. Then after work, Adam and I came home and he told me we were going out to eat. He surprised me by taking me to a great restaurant, The Pumpkin House, and then showering me with gifts. Okay, well, some of the gifts were from my mom, but he did wrap them up and make them look nice. You can tell by the wrapping paper! He then gave me the best surprise anyone could ask for - a Hello Kitty MP3 player! I absolutely love it! It is the cutest thing and it is practical, I may add. Then we went for a little walk around the neighborhood of the restaurant and tried out some of the "exercise" equipment. He then told me we needed to go to our friend Faye's house to "pick up something else." Well, it turns out that some more of our friends were at the house and that Faye had made me a lovely birthday cake. Well, it tasted lovely, but it kind of looked like a piece of poop, literally. But it was good, and that's all that matters! So, it was a great birthday! Hope you enjoy the pictures!<br /><br /><table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/katieanncarlson/MyBirthday/photo#5004665620591924082"><img src="http://lh3.google.com/image/katieanncarlson/RXQk3bb903I/AAAAAAAAAhU/8XqFc-kqadE/s288/P1030021.JPG"></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:66%; text-align:right">From <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/katieanncarlson/MyBirthday">My Birthday!</a></td></tr></table>This is the package my mom sent, with the dazzling wrapping paper courtesy of Adam.<br /><br /><table style="width:auto;"><tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/katieanncarlson/MyBirthday/photo#5004665672131531650"><img src="http://lh3.google.com/image/katieanncarlson/RXQk6bb904I/AAAAAAAAAhc/XpfGG9WwDOI/s288/P1030023.JPG"></a></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family:arial,sans-serif; font-size:66%; text-align:right">From <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/katieanncarlson/MyBirthday">My Birthday!</a></td></tr></table>Some close ups of the present.

There were games and activities for kids of all ages. I was the MC, which was much easier than I thought it would be, and it was really fun to watch all of the kids have a blast! Here are a few pictures, and a link to the rest of them online.<br /><br /><br /><p><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/4904/3454/1600/P1020822.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/4904/3454/320/P1020822.jpg" border="0" /></a> Here is a picture of me with Melody (the Chinese translator) up on stage.<br /><br /><p></p><p></p><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/4904/3454/1600/P1020823.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/4904/3454/320/P1020823.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><p></p><p>Here are some of the kids up on stage doing a little song and dance routine.

There was also a party for the kindergarten kids, which was very cute. Here is a photo of me with my first graders, and a link to rest of the pictures online. It was a blast!</span><br /><p><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/katieanncarlson/Halloween2006">http://picasaweb.google.com/katieanncarlson/Halloween2006</a></p>Katie Carlsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01002360681587638989noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28300072.post-1162301684824879602006-10-31T07:30:00.000-06:002006-11-12T05:58:48.671-06:00Okay, so I'm really going to do this.<span style="font-family:Verdana;">I'm really going to try my best at this blog thing. We'll see how it goes. I will start with where I am living now. Some of you may have seen these pictures, if so, you don't need to click on the link. If not, then go ahead and take a look at our new (kind of) apartment. Thanks a million to Adam for moving in while I was back in Iowa for the summer. </span><br /><p></p><p><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/katieanncarlson/Apartment">http://picasaweb.google.com/katieanncarlson/Apartment</a></p><p><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Other than that, not much is new. Our Halloween party is tomorrow, so I will put some pictures of that up soon. (At least I will try to!)</span></p>Katie Carlsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01002360681587638989noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28300072.post-1147913996582454532006-05-17T19:57:00.000-05:002006-11-12T05:58:48.075-06:00I am the coolest person alive!<span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3333ff;"><strong>Hello, everyone!
