Fun Sun Day

I was up early... and Isaiah and I both got a neck cramp because of the pillow...

I had my time with Jesus... and we all got ready and headed out.

First, we found a wonderful breakfast place and bought the food to the church courtyard to eat... And people arrived early for church. Most of the people were quite elderly! The pastor was young... but the average age of the congregation was probably 70!

We had to leave early as we had our snorkeling appointment at 11am. The church started at 9:40 instead of 9:30! It was quite a nice service.

The snorkeling was quite short... but the package included free videos and pictures!

We were finished by 12:30 and decided to ride around. First to a nice rocky reef beach where Alan and I again went in and saw lots of turtles. I was too chicken. To walk out and to go in the water... It was just a bit too cold for me! But standing there, I talked with others and did see quite a few turtles popping their head up!

We left there and went to have shaved ice... and then walked and hiked around a few trails. It was getting close to sunset so we found another point to enjoy that.

Dinner was at a nice oyster pancake place... and then we were back at our hostel! We were out the full day and Isaiah and I got quite sunburned!

It was really a FUN SUN DAY!

Little Island!

I was up early and we got ready to head out at 6:50! Alan wanted to stop for breakfast so we found a great Chinese breakfast place and bought the stuff to go to HSR.

The train was very on time and we rested.

Then it was a bus ride to the port... and the ferry was only 30 minutes... We would not have lasted any longer as it was quite ROUGH!

The hostel had our scooters ready so we picked them up and got to our hostel. We quite like our room... Isaiah rested and I went for a run. I decided to run the whole island. It's only 12km and even though it was hot, I ran faster than I expected!

I was so hot when I got back... 

Alan wanted to head out to the beach... so after a quick shower, we were off. 

The beach was quite crowded with people doing paddle boats... Isaiah actually saw one turtle... That's what this island is famous for.

We then went and ate ramen... YUMMY... and then headed to the 7/11 for drinks... Alan... OF COURSE! We also found the church which we will attend tomorrow at 9:30. 

We were back at the hostel and after blogging, I was ready for bed. 

Alan and Isaiah stayed up to watch TV.

Vacation Starting Today!

I was up early... 

Alan went to play tennis and Isaiah found out that he got a great bonus!

YIPPY!

I started cleaning as we planned to go over to the old house. I had things to drop off there and we wanted to set up the bed and do a bit of sorting and cleaning. 

I went for a run in the middle of the day and it was so hot.

Alan went to get Abby's criminal record notarized!

When he got back, we took off! We found a great parking space. Alan worked on putting the bed together while I set up the storage room! We were there for three hours and there is still a bit more work to do... but we will do that on Saturday after our return from our mini vacation! The side room is set up so nicely and the storage room looks great!

We had dinner at home and watched one episode of House. Isaiah came home fairly early... 

We will be out of the house by 7am to catch the High Speed Rail for ZhoYing, Kaohsiung and then take a bus to the port and the ferry to the island!

Prayer time at 8:45 and we were all ready for bed after that!

I Almost Forgot to Post!

I was up early and even though it was my PR Day, Alan and I had planned to get a few things done. But I took the morning to read and rest and run!

At 12:45, we took off... unfortunately, the office for Abby's criminal records (a necessary document for her visa in Brazil) closed for lunch. So, Alan waited in the car while I ran a few errands. I was the first one at the window at 2pm. After getting the paper, we went to Danhsui. The traffic was pretty bad, but we Mae it there by 3pm! Alan scraped while I set things up! We were finished by 5:15 and ran into traffic heading back home.

It was nice to be home to have dinner... I had a delicious salad... 

Then at 7:30, I went to meet up with a friend. She was running late, so I ran a few more errands and got back minutes before she finally arrived and gave her the movie coupons. I stopped at PX Mart before heading home for prayer time at 8:45. Family Time at 9pm and we finished by 10:30!

I put away the clothes. Alan and Isaiah packed and I was in bed by 11:15... It felt so good!

Tutoring Cancelled... Go Go Go Stopped...

I was up early and knew it was going to be another Go Go Go Day. But after my QT, I checked my Line messages and one of my tutoring cancelled. Because she cancelled, I cancelled the other person as well. Thus, I had time to get things done without feeling like the whole day rushed by in a blur!

I ran my 10K and got to chat with Alden as he figured out how to get Mom Bea back into blogging!

Alan and I then headed out... first to TIC to drop off stuffed animals and winter sweaters for their May and October Missions Trips: Boracay and Kathmandu!

We then went to my friend's house to check her mail. Next, it was back over to Neihu to drop off things at church and I cleaned up the area as I wasn't the last one to leave on Sunday! And we won't be having church on the 15th as it's Lunar New Year! Then we went to the 'old man' who sells things... I always give him some nice stuff to sell... He is really nice. I am sharing with him about Jesus!

Finally, we were home and it was already 4pm. Alan went to get his scooter tuned up and to buy more Coco. When he returned, I went to get my scooter tuned up and to go to Miramar to attempt to sell things. You drop things off for them to assess. And if you are ok with their offer, then they give you cash! I also had a meeting with a gal about getting her connected to many possibilities around Taiwan to sell Eden Jewelry. Eden is a non-profit organization involved in rescuing gals from sex trafficking!

I had to be home by 8:45 for our Prayer Time!

The day was finished...

The Go Go Go Has Not Stopped!

I was up early and had the day planned... 

Ran 10K!

Loaded up the car!

Headed to Isaiah's new place and get a few things done! I even went and walked around, donating books at the library right next to his place. The back balcony is cleaned and set up. The bathroom corner racks put up as well as one shower curtain. The other one was ordered and has not arrived. The kitchen sink is fixed and dishes and other items are neatly organized! Alan had bought Coco and a lunch box and enjoyed his lunch.

We left at 3:15 and got home at 4pm. I proceeded to put things away and then took a nap. I was going to go and sell some items to the second hand store, but I was way too tired. I didn't do all that I had planned!

I sat and blogged and checked my emails and ate my delicious salad.

I was feeling quite tired... I hope tomorrow won't be so go, go, go...

Another Go Go Go Day!

If you didn't watch it... this is a spoiler alert!

The Seahawks WON...

I was up early and when I finished, Alan was already seated in front of the TV... getting Isaiah up at the same time... ha, ha, ha...

I put the chicken in the crock pot and went out for my run. It was so nice!

Then after a quick shower, I was out the door... and I was already late for my prayer time at 11am. I arrived at 11:15. And from there, the whole day was late... 15 minutes. I arrived at my tutoring at 2:15. I didn't finish until 3:45... 

I was home by 4:05 and started to get everything sorted. I did not bring up any more bags... I was just too exhausted. 

The boxes are packed. And things are sorted... Isaiah helped me to seal the boxes as I attempted to put more stuff in once he pressed down! YIPPY! He moved the boxes down and it will cost 120US$ to ship to the Philippines. 

I had the evening free, so I did a load of laundry. The laundry basket was overflowing... And I made congee for my dinner. It was perfect! Just what I wanted!
