Adventure is our collective middle name!

This summer I made a list of fun things to do because I didn't want the summer to just fly by. The list included things like float the Provo River, go camping at Mirror Lake, go hiking, etc. So most of the list got done and now I have a new item for my fall list, do a triathlon!!!! YAY! We are very excited! I have issues with riding bikes-boring and my bum hurts! And Jake has issues with swimming, he just can't swim. Which is sad bc I love swimming and have been in water every summer for most of my life. So we each have areas we need to work on but we are planning on doing the T3 Turkey Triathlon on November 8th. It's all very exciting, more details to come.

It's Jake's BIRTHDAY!!! The big 2-4!!! Is it time for a quarter life crisis yet? It sure is, for both of us! Maybe a trip around the world? Yeah that sounds nice!!

Australia

I have been researching visas and requirements for different countries so we can have an idea of what we are doing when we leave Taiwan and I think we will go to Australia!! We want to visit Japan, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Bali after/during our stay in Taiwan. But once we leave we are probably going to need some refueling time/money making time and Australia seems like just the place. First of all we speak the language so we could get real jobs and make real money and Australia is awesome! All we have to do is get work visas three months before our proposed move. I have looked to see how much housing costs and what jobs pay and it's pretty comparable to here so...Australia here we come (in 18 months!!).

Kids

Won't Jake and I be great with kids?!?!

We're moving to China and we're not coming back!

The awesome folks at ILP have accepted Jake and I to teach english to children in Taiwan. So technically I guess we are moving to Taiwan a republic of China. We got our pre-acceptance letters this week, but the actual school in Taiwan has to approve us too. So we have a bunch of paperwork in our future and a video of each of us interacting with kids.
Taiwan is our jumping off point to the rest of the world! Awesomely enough the program pays for our airfare to/from Taiwan so that's great. While living in Taiwan we plan to take a few mini vacations to Hong Kong, Bangkok, and maybe Tokyo and Bali. After that the world is ours! We will let the wind take us wherever. Mostly it will take us to hostiles and WWOOFer farms. We just want to be hippies for awhile and not worry about too many things, just see the world!
