FUN FACT FRIDAY!!! What’s one fun fact about you that you haven’t shared with us yet?
Hmmmm…
I grew up in a middle class family with five younger siblings in Washington state. We lived comfortably. I always had enough clothing and food. It was a good life. But we never did anything big or exciting or traveled much. When I graduated from high school, I had only been to 7 states. The furthest EAST I had traveled was Wyoming, which is solidly in the west. I had only been on an airplane once to fly to college.
Then I served a mission for my church in Korea for 18 months in the middle of my college years. My time there really turned on my desire to see more of the world.
I studied my heinie off to get into medical school and spent the meager amount I made by working part-time in college to fly around for interviews.
I moved to Upstate New York for med school where I met my husband. He’s half Japanese and spent half of his life in Japan and half in the US. He grew up traveling a lot more than I did with all the moving he did growing up.
We now live comfortably in the Midwest with our 4 sons. We are able to do SO much more than I did growing up. We travel and do all sorts of interesting and fun activities. I’ve now been to 47 states and 16 countries. Even my youngest, who is 4 years old, has been to 34 states and 6 countries.
Travel gets me away from my neverending to do list and my very demanding and tiring work environment. It’s the break I need for my mental health and well being. It’s one of the things that brings me great joy. I gave up my 20s for my education, but now I have a job that I love and get to see and do really cool things.
I don’t know if that’s the type of thing you wanted for this question, but there you go.
Do you want to share a fun fact about yourself??

A Cliff Walk to Remember - Grindelwald First
When doing our research for our trip to the Jungfrau region, Grindelwald First was not high on our list of must-see’s. It looked overly commercialized and tourist heavy. We did however want to do the cliff walk and this is what ended up making up our minds to make the trip up. It was included with our Jungfrau pass so why not?
We decided to go here on a whim after leaving Jungfraujoch.…

wowweee i am so fucking ill right now
it feels like i have covid but i dont think i do, its just been a really bad seasonal cold but holy shit i want to crawl out of my brain and body and just float around between time and space. i had a really busy weekend and had to cancel literally all of my plans, and my shift on saturday and stay in bed with my partner. we did some diy together and went to a bakery and stuff but i just have 0 energy. i feel bad because he always likes to get out and do stuff but im just too much in a bad way to be moving right now :’( if i walk too much my head starts to pound
hopefully this is my last sickness of the season, i wanted to make a youtube video earlier in the week and couldnt because my voice all fucked up!! aghh!!
i also have the travel bug-- i really want to go back to europe. cory and i are thinking of going to vancouver, germany, then maybe japan :) but we will have to take loads of time to make up the money to be able to afford those 3 trips, and not until after we move in together!!

Steps to get a Passport for a minor - USA.
Steps to Follow
One question I get asked a lot is how do I get passports for my minor children, and where do I even start? I am going to simplify that for you right here:
Step 1: Get a picture of each child – zoomed in. You will need a 2×2 size picture of each child. I would recommend getting them done at Walmart – 1 hour photo is currently $0.14/each. Compared to getting the specified passport…
