Stephen and I have about two and half weeks before we head to China. We leave May 10 early in the morning. We are getting more excited each day. We are trying to think of everything that we will need in the next 3 month frame and also the stuff that we can live without. We might have a place live, which is a nice thing to have :)... I guess we have to make an offer on it or something, I don't really understand it all. Stephen has his own project that he will be working on with the US commerce. He is a little nervous, they have been talking him up in the emails that they send out. But I know, as we all do, that Stephen is a capable young man and can concur anything. I am still not too sure what I will be doing, Stephen has made it clear multiple times that I will not be spending my time shopping... So now I really don't know what I will do.. I am hoping that something will just fall into my lap. There is an English speaking branch about a 45 minute train ride from the area that we will be living, so that will be our social and spiritual release.
We are still open to visitors but are very aware of the fact that that is not very realistic, so we will try to be good at posting pictures and telling of our adventures.
