BIG DAY TODAY
Three reasons why today is a BIG day!
1. Today, my parents finally arrive!!!!!! After one delayed flight, and because of that delayed flight, a missed connecting flight, a night in Tokyo, they will be here at 1PM!!! Since I work at 1:15, Rick is headed to the airport to get them! On Fridays, I have a 4 hour break and usually I am too lazy to come home so I stay at the coffee shop down the street but today I will come home to see my parents!
2. I have my first demo today. A demo is where all the students' parents come and we basically put on a show for them to show them what they are paying for. I'm insanely stressed out about it. It's my first one, my co-teacher is new too so she has never had a demo either. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! The class is a good class, except for three older kids who 100% don't want to be there and are ... a challenge, to say the least. Wish me luck. I might die.
3. We booked our tickets to Hong Kong!! We have a four day weekend in September off work so we decided to go somewhere! First we were thinking Singapore but then we started to look into Hong Kong. Which was cheaper so off to Hong Kong w ego! Plus its a shorter flight so more vacation time for us! Now we just have to book a place to stay, someone remind me to do that ASAP. Cause we all know Rick won't remember.
I probably won't have time to update a lot while my parents here so I hope everyone is enjoying reading the blog! Again, feel free to send us an e-mail if you have ANY questions at all! A couple people have e-mailed me and I am planning on making their questions (and any others) into a FAQ blog post. So send us some questions!

Four Days
Until my parents arrive in Taiwan! They arrive here on Thursday night! The school I teach at on Thursdays is closer to the airport than Rick's school so I am going to meet them at the airport alone while Rick goes home and waits for us.
We've got some pretty exciting stuff planned for while they're here. We're headed to Green Island for three days, a bunch of day trips to Taipei, Formosa Fun Coast (water park), and we're going to try to do a day trip to Sun Moon Lake. I had a lot more in mind but my parents told me they didn't want a trip where they were always moving, they wanted it to be more relaxing.
My mother told me she'd be happy just sitting with me in my apartment for two weeks haha. I'm pretty excited to see them! It is going to be so weird to go from seeing them on Skype every day to seeing them in real life every day. I can't imagine how hard it is going to be to say goodbye to them when it's time for them to go. But let's not think about that for another two weeks!
Anyway, we have this Wednesday off school for Dragon Boat Festival. Rick and I weren't planning on doing anything since my parents arrive the next day and we will be doing a lot then so our friends, Carly and Jason, asked us to watch their dog for the day, Pudding. I am so excited. I'm hoping that babysitting this dog will convince Rick that it's a great idea to get a dog. Cross your fingers!
See you soon mom and dad!
