This is Roodie and I. I decided to change the spelling of his name. So everyone knows his name isn't (r-uh-d-y) hehe! You will have to excuse Roodie for hiding in his shell. He is a little bit camera shy. I didn't know Roodie was an acrobat, I snuck up on his doing this trick. Roodie is also very picky. He rearranged his whole bowl. He moved all the rocks and he turned his shell upside down. I guess he thought my decorating was tacky! (haha) I still love him!

Kasey I finally got a shirt to match the headband you gave me for Christmas. (haha) This is one of my students. I feel like a celebrity everyday Students want me to take pictures with them and sign things. Its great fun. David caught me this tiny tiny frog. Isn't he cute? Natalie and I named him peepee boy because he peed on my hand. (haha) I guess I scared him.

GOOD NEWS!!! I got a new baby turtle. Her name is Rudy actually I think it is a him because he is kind of mean. We went to eat at this restaurant and I saw him in a take out box and the lady said I could have him. LUCKY ME!

This is my faovrite breakfast shop. French toast with strawberry jam YUM! Are my eyes going squinty? Maybe I am turning Taiwanese!

Me pretending I am on Americas Next Top Model! And trying to give David a laugh! (HEHE) Do you like that pretty cowlick?

These are Davids new glasses. Isn't he handsome? Sometimes he makes some facial expressions that remind me of his mom when he wears them! These are my new bangs that I cut myself. Pretty stylin eh? My beauty school girls really like them. And this is my very Taiwanesey shirt as Joy calls it! Ohh by the way Susan made it to the third round of the singing competition and then she made the top ten! We did't get to go this time because it was in Taipei. She will go there again this Saturday.

Susan made it to the second round of her competition. I think she will be the next Taiwanese Idol! She is an amazing singer. After her competition we went to the night market where we had my favorite food. I call it a cheese ball. The outside is kind of like a tator tot then it has cheese and corn in the middle then they put yummy red sauce on it. The other girl is Sunny it is Susan's sister, and that is our friend Bear.

David and I teach first year students. This is them marching. They have this olden day tradition, back long ago when students wanted to go to school they would pay a teacher and ask if they could attend. If they didn't have money they would pay with food. So symbolically the new students march the first student in line carries a red and gold tray with food on it they march to the principal and give him the tray. The principal then gives the teacher a flag saying that the students are now in their care.

This is my FAVORITE restaurant. It is called Smokey Joe's. They have mexican food! My fav... My name is all over that place too! I had a really yummy mango slushy also I had nachos. David had a bacon cheese burger and fries. YUM YUM!

This is Jay's baby girl. She is wearing the outfit David and I gave to her.

Bad news Wilson died, I am really sad.

This is our trip to Macau. It was fun, but I think it was kind of an odd place. It was very small and crammed. There were very many different nationalities of people there. We got to eat mashed potatoes and steak! It was sooo yummy! We loved it. Our hotel had carpet when we stepped off of the elevator on to carpet it felt like our feet were in heaven. We went to Red market, Senado square & to a Casino to eat! Out side of our hotel there was a play ground but it had work out equipment, we went and played on it for a bit. There were also rocks embedded in the ground for you to walk on they think it is good for your feet. It was pretty interesting. In the red Market we saw these baby ducks hanging in the meat stand it was so yucky. Also there is me with some turtles. They are small but they are bigger than Wilson. It was a fun trip!
