Welcome! This is a lifestyle blog about the things I love: God, travel, food, adventure, teaching, nesting... set in the bustling city of Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

What's in a name?
I have started receiving schedules, curriculum and most recently a class list from the school where I will be teaching. I was very excited to see my class list and read through the names. As I started reading I thought, oh man, this is going to be tough, but I tried my best as I read down the list and tried to pronounce the names. I immediately had a vision of myself on the first day of school attempting to take attendance. One by one, I butchered their names as I went down the list, leaving each one a bloody mess as it rolled off my tongue. But listen to how good God is. I am reading down the names and I get to the biggest one. It's Sereywattanak. But just to the right is a column of nicknames. Guess what Sereywattanak's nickname is? JIMMY! Thank goodness, I can do this!
