I know... this is supposed to be a blog about moving to Malaysia -- but I can't resist!
So we have finally gotten our wedding pictures up and running! Here is a link to the Picasa Web Albums... #1 and #2: (just click on any picture in the slideshow and it will take you to the Picasa Web Album)
(WARNING - Over 600 pictures... I am still in the process of picking out the "good ones" and putting them in a separate album. So unless you have lots of time on your hands... I'd wait for the other one! :-) )

Starting a New Chapter
So here we are, Lio and I -- husband and wife now! I can't believe that only 3 weeks ago, we were married -- makes me get a little teary-eyed even thinking about it again... It was wonderful to see our family and friends and share that special day with them!
The photographer is sending us our pictures today by mail... so I will post some here & facebook as soon as I get them! Very excited to see them!
The last three weeks we have been trying to decompress from all the stress that we had on us from the wedding. Now the stress is just changing -- from 'wedding' stress to 'moving' stress. We have really put off worrying about the move until after the wedding... I don't think we wanted to overshadow the wedding by making it all about the us leaving the country.
The move in question is our move from Royal Oak, MI to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. (thus the blog) We are gearing up for it as we speak... the movers will be here on June 3rd, 4th, and 5th to pack us into our container that we will have shipped overseas. It should arrive there (before going through customs) around July 22nd. So hopefully we'll get our stuff by the beginning of August! (cross-my-fingers) I'll explain in a later post about the customs regulations and laws in Malaysia... but they are very restrictive.
WHY we are moving:
We are moving because of Lio's job -- he works for Lafarge as an Audit Manager in Southfield, MI and his office is closing this summer. The other two Audit offices are in Paris, France and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Due to the cost of living in Paris -- super expensive -- and that we might be back there sometime in our life (since Lio is from France), we chose the Malaysia option. The assignment will only be for around 2 years, so we are thinking of it as an adventure!
Everyone is welcome to visit, just give us a ring -- it's TROPICAL (85 to 95 deg. everyday of the year) and a few hours drive from Singapore, a short flight to Thailand, Bali, Philippines, and gorgeous beaches! We will have at least one guest bedroom and plenty of couch space! :-)
