The "Eagle" Landed!

That's my sister, Annie. She is here in Taiwan!

I got up early, expecting her flight to be landing at around 6:15. It was late. So, she didn't get into Taipei until almost 9am. She took the bus to the domestic airport, which is about 20 minutes from our home! We loaded up the box and her luggage and headed home.

I got Mom up... actually Mom was already up and undid her hand restrains... and I think you can guess the rest. I worked on getting Mom into the shower and cleaned up the room. While Mom was eating breakfast, I unpacked the box and the suitcase with the help of Isaiah! It was fast! Since I had made room for things, I just stacked everything in the closet! This way the house and the living room still look tidy. Annie had her little carry-on in her room. I showed her all the stuff I have been gathering for her! She will have at least 20 kilos of stuff and we haven't even started shopping!

We chatted and finally at 12noon decided to go towards the Presidential Hall, the Botanical Garden and the 228 Peace Park. What fun! The weather cleared and it was delightful to walk around. I even got Annie to walk to a shopping alley. Although most stalls were closed, we did find and purchase a few items. YEAH!

We drove back home and Mom had fish sticks and dessert. I had leftover with Annie. Isaiah had instant noodles.

Mom was in bed and the three of us played LUNAR NEW YEAR MONOPOLY! Annie was the winner! She had one property that we kept landing on and we had to fork out the money to her! She went to bed early. Please pray that she will wake up refreshed and with no sign of dizziness! We pray that the airplane ride here did not set off her vertigo!

Tomorrow we will go to church. 

And yes, I did hit World Gym this morning before going to pick up Annie. No time for a run! Oh well... It was perfect running weather. With all the walking, I did hit my step goal! I didn't hit 50kms for this week. Just a few kilometers short! 

Isaiah and I stayed up until 12 midnight and Alan and I did get to talk and pray together! Abby even was able to send us a message.

This just resonated with me today... We walked around a lot and this is sound advice: look carefully how you walk! 

Seek Him First!
