About our family

This is our first blog for the page, so here's a little about us. We have been in Taiwan for 3 years. Can you believe it?! THREE YEARS! I can't believe it myself, but this month marked the 3rd year, and it has been great so far.

Last year, Jason put a lot of effort into studying for the GMAT (Graduate Management Admissions Test). He wants to go back to school to get a doctorate degree in Business Management—Accounting track. If you weren't sure you read it correctly, then, YES! Jason wants to go back to school. Jason did very well and is applying to numerous schools in America. Now, the waiting game begins. We want to know where we may be moving to, but we have to remember to be patient.

Carmel is working full-time and she enjoys it. She doesn't usually like going to work, especially not all day. However, she enjoys teaching the students she has this year, and it's easier having our children in school too. Carmel has been trying to do the balancing act that many moms face, and hasn't quite balanced the scale, but is doing a pretty good job trying.

Anuhea is in the 4th grade this school year. She is doing well in both English and Chinese, but could use some improvement in Math. She is also still taking violin lessons and has improved a lot. She even tinkers on the piano since Carmel hasn’t been consistently giving her lessons.

Nalani is in the 2nd grade this school year. She was taking a martial arts class and enjoyed it very much, but now she wants to learn to rollerblade. Nalani will be baptized soon, and we're very excited for her.

Hokulani is in Kindergarten, and she is our little singer. She loves to sing Primary songs from church, and she sings songs she learns at school too. She loves going to school and really likes her teachers. She is learning so much in both Chinese and English.

That's all about our family for now. More to come soon. . .
