A reflection: Our 1yr Anniversary of Repatriating to the USA
It’s astounding to think that just over 1 year ago we were arriving into the Indianapolis airport from our big move across the world in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia the Thursday before Memorial Weekend, with 2 very tired kids in tow, and us as aching parents from a long 30+ hour journey. How […]
Repatriation & Toddlers….how our girl is managing her new life stateside
It’s officially been a year since we have left Malaysia and I can finally say that I think my daughter may be coming out of whatever trance the repatriation roller coaster had on her….well, the repatriation roller coaster coupled with being TWO that is.
Having never been an expat prior to this experience, thus never […]
A couple months ago our baby boy Mac turned ONE. Amazing….seriously, does anyone else feel like time these days is flying by at warp speed?! Does this happen when you turn 30? Or when you become a parent? Or when you have little ones in the house- all.day.long.?? Or is it just a […]

Well I think the cat is out of the bag, as they say. It’s official, your beloved International Nabers are on the move once again! This time we depart Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and set our sights on home…..back in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA.
I simply cannot believe that a short 3 years ago this Easter weekend […]
Well we’ve been home a few weeks now and I think, I THINK, that life is starting to get back to normal, whatever that means. This recent trip to the USA was the longest time away from KL yet, at a whopping 4 weeks, but yet it still flew by in a blink of an […]
