Honeymoon # 3

Back in April, we knew we had this break in October and started looking for places to go. There's still so many places in Southeast Asia that we want to visit, so our options were plentiful. O found 2 roundtrip tickets to Langkawi for $150 TOTAL. So we bought them. Since our tickets were so cheap, we decided to splurge on a villa. We've been to several beaches/islands in Malaysia before. However, one thing that was really surprising was how many women were dressed in the full burka here. Here's O with some of the ninjas... 

Some pics of the villa.....

 We did a lot of this.... 

 Another burka watching the sunset. One of my friends asked "Don't you think those women are looking at us thinking Geez, I wish I could just wear a bikini?" No, I really don't think they do. I think they look at us like we look at some of the Russian girls out on the town, "Wow, what is SHE wearing?? I'm glad I don't dress like a whore."

It was a very relaxing week. Not much happening. Just reading books, drinking beer, watching the world go by.

moving and stuff

We've been really busy with moving the past few weeks. It's nice to move because it's chance for things to change. We threw out about 6 bags worth of clothing and nonsense. It's a chance to get new furniture, get rid of the old, and best of all, redecorate! Using what we already have, I created a document to see how it would all look. Here's the plan for the living room. O made fun of me for this, but I'm quite proud of this idea. Some of rugs didn't look right once I put them in with the couches. And I wanted to see how the pictures would look above the couch. Here's a screen shot of it: 

I definitely recommend doing this before you go pick out furniture. Just use the images from the store's website. (Everything we own is from Ikea.) And then just move it around in the picture and see what looks best with what you already have.
