Yes, it's been awhile now since we last posted any updates and we've got no one but ourselves to blame for the inactivity at our blog as a result. Such are the schedules of two very busy people who are occupied with a constant string of things to do that they just can't seem to find the time to write!
It amazes us that we've been married for half a year now (wow!) and that life has finally caught up with us. We're both doing well, save for the never ending tasks that need to be done both at work and on the home front ;) Getting into a routine gives things a little more structure for sure, but that also means that we've got to move things around when unplanned activities come up every once in awhile.
Much to Jo's delight, Anderson has finally conceded to cleaning the house once every week as he recently discovered that it was no fun looking for things under a 2-week old layer of accumulated dust and grime. Plus, our brand new vacuum cleaner was close to half full when we emptied it of its contents. (Mind you, it was completely empty before we had a go at getting the house back into a presentable state!)
Cooking every alternate day is a feasible plan, as long as both parties are around to savour each other's delectable home-cooked food. More importantly, it is crucial that water supply is not disrupted as this can be a major inconvenience when everything has been already planned and prepared for.
Accomplishing three short trips in six months is a feat for two individuals on an average income. But with rising fuel prices and surcharges, this throws a spanner into our mission of world conquest even with Air Asia and MAS trying to outdo each other.
Reading the Bible and praying together sounds easier than it really is. Lots of determination, deliberate action and discipline is required to actually get this off the ground and keep it going. Even more so when this involves two people with very different time keeping and sleeping habits. We do ask that you will pray for us to manage our time better!
And finally, six months is too short a time for learning to accept and adjust to each other's habits and idiosyncracies. In fact, it probably can't be done even in six or sixty years as it will take an entire lifetime of discovery! :p
