Lately

Some happenings since the last time I posted:

• An uplifting ward temple trip.
• Started feeling Baby move!
• Finally (after almost 9 months) became an official American permanent resident. I can work AND go through the permanent resident line at customs!
• Experienced my first tsunami warning complete with sirens and millions of people filling up their cars in case worse comes to worst and they need to drive off the island...
• Hung out with Rachel for a day!
• Fun Cousins' Day hosted by Nancy&Thad.
• Mini golf and Sizzler's with Jordan&Shanelia.
• Finally started feeling better. Meaning only gagging or throwing up once a day instead of every couple of hours.
• Early Christmas shopping for my family.
• Jumped on a plane to come to Taiwan!

So here I am in Taiwan. This vacation is also the reason for my blogging hiatus. Everyday has been either so eventful or so relaxing that blogging has been the last thing on my mind. I've only been here for three weeks and I've already eaten my weight in food--which means my doctor is going to be very unhappy with me when I go to see him next. I've also been so spoiled by my family that going back home to "real life" is going to be like waking up from a dream.

Oh--and I totally surprised Cynthia when I came home! She knew I was coming, but had absolutely no idea when. I got her good because she started crying right after I took these pictures. I've sure missed my family!
