This time we are heading west....to a place called Hsinchu.
Jason went for interviews this last week and had decided to take the position that was offered. He will be leaving on Sunday and then in between working he will be looking for an apartment for us to move to.
I will be staying in Ilan with the rest of our tribe, and then hopefully we will move there towards the end of August.
I don't know too much about our new hometown, but I do know that it is also known as the "windy city"....so we will be going from the wettest part of Taiwan to the windiest! We sure do know how to pick them! LOL
I also know that it is "Silicone Valley"....Jason is very excited about this fact! LOL
On the adoption front.... the remaining documents that we needed to sign arrived on Monday morning (21 July), and Jason and I signed them and sent them back off in the mail, and Deana (http://mlchome.org) called on Tuesday to say she received them and had taken them to the courts!
So now we wait, again,.......hopefully we will get our final decree SOON!!!!!
Well, the heat is still unbelievable here! We were very fortunate to get an aircon donated to us from our landlord's daughter. Then about a week later a family on the 3rd floor was having a new one installed and so gave us their old one....now we have 2!!! I have never met such generous people as the folk here in Taiwan.
I cannot tell you how many times neighbors from the apartment building have rung my doorbell and given me vegetables or fruit or some kind of tea that they have made...the Taiwanese are really a generous bunch!
A couple of weeks ago the boys decided they wanted their hair cut....into mohawks, so at about 8:30pm I took Talis-Rain and Keanu-Storm to the hairdresser...Keanu-Storm was so tired he actually fell asleep and the assistant had to hold his head up! Then the following evening Willow-River decided he wanted his done too....they really do look super cool!!!
Doodlebug is still with us, he will be leaving in a couple of weeks...He is too cute....he smiles so much and loves to "talk"...we are really going to miss him!
I have started a photography blog (as if I don't have enough blogs already! LOL)...I am a real amateur, but if you want to take a look....http://starrwyn.aminus3.com/
So that is about all from the tribe for now....hope you and yours are happy and well.
~* Peace and Love *~

yes I am a complete stranger leaving a comment on your blog. To be honest I am not even sure how I found your blog but here I am! My husband and I previously spent about 1 year in Taiwan teaching at kindergarten and before that I was a missionary in Hsinchu for about a year. It is a great place with plenty of foreigners if you get homesick as well as some good western grocers! I really loved the city of Zhu Dong wich is just outside of Hsinchu and I think you guys will have a great time there!! And if people talk about the science park.. it's just a commercial business area.. I was so disappointed when I realized it wasn't like a water park or something cool like that!! Good luck!! ----- i love taiwan ----
