TAIWAN 台灣


2 weeks in Taiwan!
What an adventure!
This is us on a hike at Yang Ming mountain... it was about 2000 steps to climb and it was raining on and off. Beautiful scenery and lots of sweat.

Aubrey also has some really EXCITING news that we just found out before we left for Taiwan. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A BABY!!! She is just now getting close to the end of the 1st trimester and we are so happy!! Liam (Will's baby) thinks it is a boy, but we have yet to know for sure. (=

In Taiwan we visited the Taipei Temple, along with many other Buddhist temples and the such. The best part was the chance Nate had to visit with people he had worked with while on a mission. He loved to see the growth that many had undergone and also to get to know them on a different level then before.



Nate and Aubrey were SO happy to get to stay with the Shu family (Robert, Nadia, Joe, and Cathy). They were SO nice to us and especially mindful of Aubrey while whe was pregnant. They are so cute and we love them very much. Robert is now the 2nd counselor in the Taipei 3rd Ward bishopric. Nadia is in the Relief society presidency and Joe and Cathy are fun as ever to talk and play with. Joe's english is getting really good and the whole family was just so fun to be with.




Aubrey poses here with a stone lion outside a chinese temple near where we stayed. Isn't she cute?

















Dad, Mom, and Ben Pettit got to stay with us for the first few days. Ben tried some duck feet and all of us got to go up to the tallest building in the world (right now) 101 stories tall!

We love our pools. Especially with friends. Here we are trying to convince Nate he can do a front flip. He still doesn't believe me.  #thiswasthebestone   #jeffjustwentupanddidit   #overandover   #unafraid   #doesntcarewhatpeoplethink   #wishididnt  # summerlovin Independence day kickball.

"I've never been so alone, alone, and I've, and I've never been so alive. So alive." - Motorcycle Drive-by - Third Eye Blind //How we feel. All the time. Glad we could share a little piece of our hearts today with the senior center. They all knew "You Are My Sunshine" which made my heart Happy.  #music   #thismanandhisguitar #wooshearts   #lovehim   #evieproject #evielaree  one of the residents told us to look up a video on YouTube about Amazing Grace.

To better suit my purposes, I have decided to make this more of a journal. That's what it is anyway, but I see no reason to allow random people to see it. I am going *private* Please leave your email if you are even a casual observer at the happenings in the Pettit household. You are welcome any time. The change will happen one month from today.
