Well, it’s definitely fall in Utah! The Lord last week graciously gave us time off work to fly up to the land of the Salt Lake to spend days in the open air and nights under the stars, and to get to hug the necks of our dear friends Erica & Bo! This is my…
“Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.”
It’s hard to believe that just one week ago we left our temporary two-month home in Malaysia and flew halfway back across the world to our home-home in Texas. Wow. We both learned so much, even in such a short time. Most of our posts have been photos of our weekend vacations – I mean,…
The Von Julian Family Travelers
For our last week in Malaysia, we met the other four members of the Julian clan and flew up the west coast over to the beautiful Pulau Langkawi.

O’…the Misty Mountains call…
Yesterday we decided to get a little outdoorsy and hike 5 hours up the Johor mountain Gunung Pulai. We finally got some Malaysian dirt on our new hiking boots from Christmas!

Easy like Sunday Mornin’
The Lord guides and takes care of us yet again and he led us to International Baptist Church in Bukit Indah (IBCBI)! We got to be a part of the body of Christ with believers half a world away, singing and praising the One True God and reading his Word to us. Got to jump…

Birthday in Malaysia
It’s January 15 and yesterday I celebrated my 24th birthday out of the country! It was definitely an unforgettable one. I was surprised on TWO separate occasions yesterday- I like to think I’m pretty smart and can figure out surprises easily, but I was bested twice yesterday to my most pleasant surprise. First surprise- during the…
