Hanging out with friends

The photo of all the ladies was taken after "movie night" at EEC. We watched Mall Cop and I tell you, they laughed so hard!!! What a great night! Our friends let us borrow their Nintendo Wi and our friend Andrew and Josh enjoyed playing golf and tennis. I think Andrew even won!! The other picture was taken at Jatim Park, an event the EEC hosted. The park is about 2.5 hours from the city, up in the mountains. It was a beautiful, cool day.

Here it is in all it's glory. The Easy English Course! It's a lot bigger on the inside than it seems.

Class Party !

Class Party! My class came over and I cooked spaghetti, garlic bread, and we ate banana splits for dessert. We talked about customs during this lesson, comparing Javanese Weddings with American weddings. I was able to show them a little of our wedding video as well. The girls said "It is so romantic, I feel like I'm watching a movie in the cinema!"
It was a fun time with my wonderful class!

Our Awesome Volunteers!

We just

loved these guys!!! They came for 6 weeks and were such an encouragement to all of us. We tried to convince them to stay with all we could offer but I guess finishing college is a pretty good excuse to return to the U.S. Thanks a million to Oklahoma and Mississipi College for lending your best students!!! And thanks to these students who gave up their summer to serve others!

Places around our City

All these places are on our drive from the EEC to our house. It is very common to see a vendor on the street selling some type of food. This vendor is selling sate ayam. (Chicken on a stick) This is a very delicious light dinner or snack and quite popular among nationals! You also see the huge and rather fancy mall. It's air-conditioned with many coffee shops, truly an oasis!

Bali 2009

Josh's birthday party in Bali!

The FPO reunion!!! Love these guys!

Game night!

We had some friends join us at the EEC for fun games. Pictionary, I doubt it, Loaded Questions, Dance Dance Revolution, and plenty of Coffee made the night a blast!!!
