Tomorrow!!!!

We leave tomorrow!!


"I got my ticket for the long way 'round

Two bottles of whisky for the way. 

And I sure would like some sweet company

And I'm leaving tomorrow, what do you say?"

I can't believe it's finally here! It's been a crazy several days. My documents arrived from China on Tuesday after a national holiday in China followed by a national holiday in America (Columbus Day) slowed down the mail :) The next day Katie and I traveled to Chicago and arrived at the Chinese Consulate just in time to get our visa applications in! We've spent a few awesome days in the city and picked our visas up yesterday. We officially fly out tomorrow, Sunday the 20th of October. It's a 14 hour night flight, followed by a 14 hour night layover in Beijing. (Yes, this is crazy!) Then we'll travel to Harbin, China on a 2 hour flight! Please, remember us during this time and ask Dad for safety during our travels. We may be seeing a friend in Beijing, so I'm really looking forward to that. I spent my last day in America wondering through Chicago with friends, so it was a good day. I even got to see some of my kids from SEI this past summer, so awesome! Such a good day! I can't believe we're leaving tomorrow, but I'm so ready!
