name the grandparents update

Mom_and_dadThanks to all the suggestions on helping to name my parents last month. 

My mom and dad have decided to try "Nonny and Poppy."  I think they would be ok with baby Nate changing these names, but this is what he will be encouraged to call them.

an afternoon out and about This Sunday, some of my former students from my former school came to Tainan for a "graduation trip." They invited me to join them on their adventures around town. Tainan is the oldest city in Taiwan and is full of historic sites. If I have to live in the city, I'm glad it is a city with history. :) Whenever I see people drinking out of bags, it always amazes me. Some of my students bought yellow colored sodas in bottles. The store owner poured their drinks into baggies for them, added staws and tied them off. Here is a pic of the whole group that came up from Kaohsiung for the day, plus their teacher Kady (my good friend and fellow Tainan-person) and me. And, one of the highlights of the afternoon . . . . holding a baby!!! Rio's daugheters came with her on the outing, the oldest one (who is now two) has to be distracted in order to let me hold her or interact with her, but the younger one reached out for me as soon as I joined the group. Sigh . . . how sweet. Even though I've not blogged about them in a long time . . . yes, the mommy longings are still strong. :)

Myths Single Women Believe Suzanne Hadley, one of the regular Boundless authors, wrote an article recently debunking seven of the myths single women often find themselves believing. Here are the 7 myths: 1. God will give me a husband when I'm ready. 2. God views me more as a useful tool than a beloved child. 3. When it's the right guy, I'll just know. 4. When I get married, then my life will begin. 5. Marriage will/will not meet my deepest needs. 6. There must be something wrong with me. If I could just figure out what it is, I could fix it and guys would start showing interest. 7. The older I get, the less likely it is that I will find someone. In the past decade (aka "my twenties"), I have believed or at least pondered all of these at some point. The ones that I have had to fight with the most in the past year are numbers 1, 2, 6 and 7. If you are single and find yourself believing any of these, I highly recommend checking out Suzanne's article. If you are married but have friends in that "extended period of singleness" I also highly recommend you checking out her article so that you can help debunk the myths you find your single friends believing.
