Malaysia

Finally! Our pictures from our great trip to Malaysia for Corrine and Michael's wedding last october. It was such a wonderful experience!
We stayed in Kuala Lumpur and surroundings and we had the best time, people were really nice, food was delicious, it was beautiful! The pics are not really in order, sorry.
And soon I will post our Thanksgiving pictures!

Jalan Petaling in Chinatown where you can buy pretty much anything
The Blue Mosque just outside of Kuala Lumpur

Bukit Bintang, the street where our hotel was. A great area, we loved it!

King fruit or Durian. It is really good but it smells rotten.

Foot massage on Bukit Bintang

Fish Spa! Special fishes called Garra Rufa eat your dead skin. Yum!

Kaz and Mai like it.

You can do hands, feet or even whole body!

Butterfly, this one is the most common in Malaysia

I don't know what this one is

This one liked me.

Masjid Nagara, the national mosque

Dataran Merdaka or Independance square

It used to be a cricket field before being the place where Malaysia declared independance from Great Britain

Walking in the city there is a lot of vegetation

Petronas Towers

And that's it!

Rock Climbing... again

Oklahoma eatin'

For labor Day weekend, we went to the Kansas lake house with Michael and Corrine. On the way there, we have to go through Oklahoma, it's pretty boring but we did manage to find some good places to eat.

First, the Railhead diner in Purcell on the way to Kansas

And then the best Vietnamese restaurant so far, in Oklahoma City, on the way back to Dallas

Tennis

Most sundays, we play tennis with a few friends in the morning. The usual suspects are Marina, Corrine, Michael, Christie and Kit.
Last sunday, Jay brought his new camera and had some fun.

Corrine took some pictures too

Baseball game: Texas Rangers vs Boston Red Sox

A few weeks back, we went to the ball park to see a pretty important game: Texas Rangers vs Boston red Sox. Of course the rangers won :)
It was a fun evening with friends and hot dogs.

It's never that full!

Back in Dallas

Hello everyone!

We have been back in Dallas for quite some time now and we have settled in the married life pretty easily :) 

The wedding has been great, everything was wonderful and everyone was so nice and generous! We were so happy that so many of our far away family and friends made it to France to be with us on our wedding day. Thank you everyone!

Since we've been back, my mom (coucou maman!) and my grandpa sent me this article from the local newspaper. Jay and I now officially had our 15 minutes of fame!

More info about the wedding pictures will be coming soon, so stay tuned!
