Happy Chinese New Year

Yes, the whole month of January has flown by and we're already half way through February. I finally have time to post on our family blog. Really -- these six weeks went by faster than the speed of light. Why? Well, the semester ended in the middle of January and there were grades to calculate and papers to grade. At the same time, I had to get ready for our trip to the States. That meant shopping and packing and packing and shopping. After arriving in the States, I helped to pack my parents' suitcases as we were headed for a ROAD TRIP -- a 7 day cruise to see the Mayan Pyramids and a visit to Kennedy Space Center. Before I knew it, February arrived and I was again shopping and packing and packing and shopping in order to get things ready for our return to Taiwan. The day before our flight back in early February, I became deathly ill. I don't usually get sick, but this was the worse case of the flu that I have had in a long time -- my head ached and spun, I felt dizzy, I had no smell or taste, all I wanted to do was SLEEP. The flight was quite miserable and after our return, I slept for another FIVE days. And now second semester has started... and the only way I survived the first week back was by the grace and strength of God. I have recovered, which is a miracle. I know that so many were praying for me. The kids are back in school, Alan and I are back in school and everything is in full swing. So exactly one month after our departure in January for the start of our vacation, I finally have a minute to post some pictures and yes, it's already February 20th. Enjoy the pictures.
