  • Flowers Grow in the Valley – By Syd

    Flowers Grow in the Valley – By Syd

    I’m sitting here in my living room while I am struggling with my allergies looking through the slightly opened blinds trying to find the words for this post. It’s been something on my heart to write, but never really knowing what exactly I would say. Here I go: Our idea and plan have always been Continue reading

  • It’s Beginning to Feel a Lot Like Home.

    The day finally came for our household goods (HHG) to arrive here in Guam. It was an entire process, truthfully. Our things left our home on May first and didn’t arrive in Guam until the end of June. Everything had to go through customs so that took a little longer. Our things sat there for Continue reading

  • Episode 5 of Triple F

    This one was shorter as we’ve been busy and will be once again this week, but it was not short on hilarity, facial expressions, and interesting foods….. We hope you enjoy! Continue reading

  • Random Thoughts and Beautiful Skies – A Small Update

    BY SYDNIE: I stepped out one evening to go on a walk and this gorgeous sight was waiting for me. I really haven’t experienced sunsets like these. Maybe I didn’t get out enough in Texas. Maybe the trees and concrete I was surrounded with blocked my views. Texas skies are beautiful, and are home for Continue reading

  • Episode 4 of Triple F

    This episode was SUPER FUN to edit! We laughed so much, especially Syd. We hope you enjoy our goofiness and silliness in these videos. We sure enjoy making them and making these memories. Continue reading

  • Creating Our New Season

    Today was a quiet day. Nik was up at 5am and out the door. I decided to get a little more sleep before beginning my day. Yesterday I got up with Nik at 5am and stayed up. Mondays are my deep cleaning days where I clean the bathrooms, wash all the rugs in the house, Continue reading

  • Episode 3 of Triple F!

    Come along with us as we continue trying different cuisines and delicacies here in Guam – many from the Pacific islands and Asian culture. This episode was so fun! Neither of us were really prepared for the first tasting and I nearly spit it out! It took everything in me not to! I also don’t Continue reading

  • Screeching Geckos and Quiet Rain

    It has been a month since Sydnie arrived in Guam. Here is her update and some of her thoughts/observations after a month: I didn’t realize a month had gone by until I saw it was June 23. My birthday is May 23, and I arrived the night before my birthday on the 22nd so when Continue reading

  • Episode 2 of Triple F!

    It took us a little longer to get this video out and complete. Our goal was to have these out every Sunday, but we couldn’t film until Tuesday. It has been a busy week for Nik, and I haven’t been feeling the best (first, severe allergies, and then, physical ailments). We had fun with this Continue reading

  • Episode 1 of Foreign Foods with the Fraustros (Triple F!)

    Nik and I thought it would be fun to take advantage of the many opportunities we have here to try so many varieties of foods and so we decided to create this little “show”, if you will. The cuisines and delicacies are very different than what we are used to in the U.S.A. (obviously!). The Continue reading
