Next, we couldn’t move into the apartment they had given us
because we couldn’t keep Honey there.
Our first day and continued couple months was finding another place…bigger
and better each time. We had one
apartment, then another, and then a house we stayed in for the remaining
time. Unfortunately, nothing was
furnished so we had to spend time and money getting things just to
survive. For the 4 ½ months we lived in
Thailand, we didn’t have a bed…just a bunch of thin layers of mats that you
could still feel the floor through. For
the last 2 months of being there, we were able to get a motorbike, gas burner
to cook our own food, a tv and satellite.
Thank goodness…it helped us survive the dragged out time left.

The good thing about Thailand is that most things are
incredibly cheap. For the house we
rented, we only paid 3000 baht a month, which is roughly $100 dollars. We
even had a big yard for Honey to run around in.
She definitely missed that.
I think the best part of living in that house was that we
were a hop, skip and jump away from the Nestle ice cream shop. They even had my favorite ice cream…cookies
n’ cream. I have been so thankful Shane
found that place. It was that one reminder we had of home. Especially when I was having a rough day, I’d
walk down to the shop, get my ice cream cone, close my eyes and just revel in
that moment.
Another perk was that I was also really close to the
school. I walked home whenever I felt
like it…during my breaks of course.
