Another week, another post

Nothing too new to report, but hey! My life is exciting in its normalcy, I'm convinced.

So, just to prove my point about the crazy little figurines, here is a picture that yours truly has taken out the window while Mr. A was driving. This was on Gate 2 street in a place where music is often played in the open air. I've never heard particularly -good- music, but, it is free and it is live.




Also, a trash truck with a face, just for your entertainment.









Well, I suppose that you would like to know -something- of what we have been doing (other than driving around taking ridiculous pictures out the window) for the past week. Mr. T has been busy at work, taking on a position of leadership for a two week exercise. Mrs. T has been becoming a microwave ninja. Yes, you heard me. I microwave ninja. For instance, she made this fantastic shrimp and sausage paella using solely a microwave! Be amazed, be very amazed. The first batch was not for the faint of heart, given the amount of green chiles involved. However, round two was much more mild and fit for a fellowship meal where we sent off a dear brother who is PCS'ing (Permanent Change of Station) back to the states this week. It was a sweet time to spend with our little church singing Psalms to God and praying for Mr. S as he heads back stateside for a new assignment; well, two, actually! He'll have a new job and he's also getting married! We all love weddings and marriages, they are wonderful things. Perhaps his wife will also learn to be a microwave ninja, although, hopefully she will not have the need to be one.

In other news, we have been told that we should be expecting the 'okay' on Mr. T's tour conversion package (what allows Mrs. T to be legal here in the far east) by the end of the week! Praise God! Of course we will be waiting on the Lord for the full completion of all this, and once the tour conversion happens there is much work to be done (drivers license, application for housing, etc), but this is fantastic news.

Well, that's all that's fit for print, and possibly even a little more! Until next time, happy paellaing!
