((hehe... can't help but LOVE the title of this post. we taught it to our Taiwanese teachers today - they' LOVED it ))

Aaannnywho. life is ________ (fill in the blank w/ any {positive} word and it'll work)

We just got done with our 3rd practice week. it's considered "practice" because we only have the kids for the day... they come from 8a-5p. but today was the last day of that...

we have all next week to super-plan/clean up/whatever.else (and we have Wednesday off cuz of the moon festival -- yayness)

and then we have our first week-long group coming in on Sep. 27th -- SO EXCITED!!

These kids who've come only for the day (for a week) have already stolen my heart... how in the world will i be able to come up with enough love for these kids coming for a whole week?!? the answer is simple... it's going to be totally a "God-thing" (and that keeps me constantly amazing/grateful)!! <3

so let's see... some highlights from this last week...

- went to 7-11 and saw my little angel again... ((she's so cute))
- picked up a few more chords on the guitar ((still miss the piano though - praying that i find one soon... ))
- got an email from my HOPIE!!! (i legitly miss my little sis like craaazy) <3
- opened a bank account over here... pay day is coming soon (which means my laptop is coming soon = happiness)
- i'm getting to know my fellow teachers better... and THEY ARE FABULOUS!! the American teachers are great... but the Taiwanese teachers i work with... goodness, i couldn't have asked for better teachers. they are all so stinkin cool!! and i luv them. a lot :)
- i was told by one of my students that i looked like the actress from "mama mia" (great :P)
- picked up on quite a few more Chinese words. looking forward to spending a weekend watching more Chinese films, going through more workbook review, and hanging out with the Taiwanese teachers!!
- started getting txts from my favorite Mel-mel!! ...so glad she's learning how to use skype :) :)
- dyed/cut my hair... go onto fb for pics ;)
- is watching God Ooperly change my heart... in major ways. more news on that to come later... <3 <3
