6 Weeks

         It's been a while since I wrote sorry life got in the way. Anyway 6 weeks until my life changes pretty drastically but hopefully for the better. I got to skype with my fellow elementary teacher  Amber - she is super sweet and think we will get along just fine. In the mean time I have been buying all the things I have to get here and not in China and I think I have spent more money in the last week then I have in my entire life (ok so that's an exaggeration...but still it's a lot).

         I have been saying goodbyes to friends and family as I see them because I know some of them I won't see for quite some time. There once was a time I could have never done this and just leave all the people I love, but the Father has been getting me ready for this adventure for a few years now without me even realizing it. Still not looking forward to that 30+ hour plane ride though. :(

         In the mean time I will continue to enjoy my summer (yay baseball games!) Speaking of which if you go to a Loons game and want some ice cream be careful. At the last game I went to I got a waffle cone and it was so much ice cream my mom ate half of it, I will never do that again! But we won the game so my ice cream fiasco was worth it. Other then packing and figuring out how to pack my life in a few suitcases my summer has been pretty relaxed which is nice because I have a feeling that China may be pretty non-stop and I will be looking forward to Chinese New Year. If I go on any adventures I will post pictures and take you all with me without you ever having to travel anywhere.

         This isn't much of an update but that's ok there's always next time. Enjoy your summer it's gonna be gone before long and everyone will be loathing the snow (remember this on the hot days and even the cold ones it doesn't last forever)
