Returning to Baltimore

As many of you know, Hopkins formally ended its relationship with Perdana University on July 31st. As a result we had to end our Malaysian adventure (at least) one year earlier than expected. It is difficult to put into words how amazing this experience has been for us as individuals and as a family. It is also hard to imagine that after 67 posts this is going to be our last blog post for a while. For a family that previously included one person who prided himself on not having a Facebook account (Brian) and another who had no interest in taking pictures (Mary), the blog has become an important part of our life routine. It is a powerful vehicle for conversation and reflection in our family. It has also been a great way to keep in touch with our friends and family throughout the world. We are incredibly humbled that we have had over 15,000 views since we started in July of 2013. We only hope that you have enjoyed reading it as much as we have enjoyed creating it.

Our KL farewell dinner at Soul'd Out!

There are simply too many people to thank for making this past year possible so we are not going to try to list everyone here. If you are reading this blog, you are an important part of our lives and we thank you for sharing in our family.

Until next time, remember the greatest adventure is what lies ahead -- Selamat Jalan!
