MarriageMondays: reliving my honeymoon

I had so much fun at my wedding and on our honeymoon that I can’t help but want to relive it again. I told one of my friends that I wish I can do it all over again! The wedding that is but not the preparation beforehand. 

So despite the fact that this may be boring to you (or not…hopefully) I’m going to slowly post pictures of all the delicious food we ate in Taiwan and also interesting places we stayed at. Perhaps one day you too will get to visit Taiwan yourself if you’ve yet to visit this fantastic island. 

We’re off to a fantastic start already! Look at how completely exhausted I am the morning of our departure. This is only the beginning of the 24 hour travel to Taiwan. We stayed in Kansas City for nearly three days after our wedding before we left for Taiwan just so we wouldn’t be completely incoherent. 

One of the first things I HAD to eat when I recovered from the day long travel, was hotpot! If you’ve never had it, it’s comparable to fondue. Instead of dipping bread and veggies into cheese, you dip and cook it in broth. I love how the fact that you can get your own personal hotpot and order the type of meat you want to cook in it. I always go with lamb. I just love Jesus that much. 

The following morning, Dustin and I stopped at Starbucks in Taipei 101’s 35th floor. The small cafe overlooked Taipei’s governmental and shopping galore district. 

It was so nice to just chill and do our quiet time there. I started reading the book pictured above during our honeymoon. One of Dustin’s friends gave it to us as a wedding gift. It’s written by Tullian Tchividjian, a pastor who is a part of the new reformed movement. He is very articulate on the subject of grace of God which is what the book is about. It’s definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for material on this subject. 

We facetimed Dustin’s dad while at Starbucks. Yeah for technology!

I bought Dustin a stylus. Been meaning for a couple months already for this birthday. But at the time, all the Apple stores ran out of styluses. : P But I’m glad I found a uber cool one in Taiwan’s Apple store for him. 

-more to come next week!
