Smallest Cup of Coffee

On another weekend, my "neighborhood" friends and I went to another city in East Asia to get away. We had a lot of fun in this city...we walked around the town, went bike riding, went running, ate both East Asian and western food, and hung out with each other. While at one of the restaurants, I wanted some coffee, so I ordered a caramel macchiato. I have ordered this coffee drink before, so I thought I knew what I was going to get, but I was a little surprised when this showed up at my table...

I did enjoy all two sips of it though...

Easter Weekend Get Away

I know Easter was a long time ago, but I have to blog about some friends I went to visit over Easter weekend because they have had a big part of my life here in East Asia and I am going to miss them so much!

For Easter weekend, Grace and I went to a different city to celebrate with friends that do the same thing we do in East Asia. We had a good time seeing the city, eating good East Asian food, going to a karaoke place, celebrating the Lord's Resurrection and just hanging out. Here are some pictures from the trip...

Here is a painting we found in front of a preschool...notice anything odd..

Do you see the little boy in the painting above Grace winking and holding a gun? Not something you see everyday...especially in front of a preschool.

Here is a picture of all of us in Pizza Fun....

Here is a picture of one of the yummy East Asian meals we had...

How it works is you put meat and veggies in this boiling water and then eat them when they are done cooking...

Here is someone I am definitely going to miss...Her name is Martha and she has been in East Asia the same amount of time I have. She is a very special person to me. Her faith always challenges me. I love her honesty of where she is at with her walk. I love her laughter and her sense of humor. East Asia will definitely not be the same without her next year! Love ya Martha!

The Fun Aunts...

The two fun aunts are my roommate, Grace and I. We are aunts to a dog named Max...or as people in East Asia call him...Ma ke si. Max's owners are our friends, Shelley and Jarred Jung. The Jungs went back to America for two weeks to go to Jarred's sister's wedding. While they were in America, Grace and I agreed to watch Max. Here is a picture of Max when they first got him...

Well, you might be thinking...oh isn't he cute. He is SO CUTE, but don't let that mislead you..he can also get into trouble. While he was at our house, he was always trying to find something to chew on...some of the things he chewed on were toilet paper, hot dog wrappers, slippers, Chaco sandles, and a toothbrush.

One day we left him alone in the living room for maybe two minutes and when Grace came back into the room..she found him in this predicament...

Poor guy...for the life of him...he couldn't figure out how to get the popcorn bag off his head.

We kept calling his name and all he could do was bark at us. Grace and I were quite entertained.

Conference and Good Time Away

For most of the month of February, I have spent away from EA. I have been at a week long conference in Malaysia and then was able to get away and with some friends for some R&R. I got to spend some great time in the Word with the Lord and also got to spend great time with friends. Here are some pictures from this time...

What I have been up to...

Sorry I have been such a slacker about blogging lately...It has been a busy month. The university I attend here in EA has been on a break for the last month, so during that time my friends and I went on a trip to find more out about a people group. It was amazing trip! We got to see a beautiful part of EA and got see how God was working among His people of the earth. Here are some pictures from the trip...

Look Who I Found...

I am not sure how many of you who read my blog know this person, but her name is LeeAnn. Last year, she was over here in East Asia with me. She came back for a week to show other people what East Asia is like. It was so good to see her again and catch up. Hopefully, I will get to see her again soon...

The Birthday Cake

For my birthday, Danielle made me a birthday cake. Danielle is an awesome cook and an awesome birthday cake maker. The picture above is of the birthday cake she made for me. Isn't she so talented?

"Caffeine Amy" is a nickname my friends in Winston-Salem gave to me. When I have too much caffeine or I haven't had caffeine in a while and then have a cup of coffee or Coke, I get real hyper and say funny things. Thanks Danielle. I loved it.
