Suit case = stupid

Having officially lived out of suitcases for over a month, the vacation feeling is beginning to wear off. It is fun to an extent. Washing your clothes one by one in your bathroom sink, eating out every night, regular cleaning ladies, and friends all close by, are all fun things and something I am glad I have been blessed to experience. But eventually, the crispness of your air dried clothes, not cooking, and not being able to have a place to put your belongings just makes you feel as if you are not in the right place.
We have about 3 days left here in Beijing and we are then off to our home in Nanjing! I am excited to unpack and get settled in a place I can call my own. But with that excitement comes sadness. I am not looking forward to leaving our friends here! Moving to Nanjing makes this China thing feel very real. (I know what you are thinking, you are in China...and it doesn't feel real?) Its real, but moving into a new home, feels like a long time. haha
So, With all of that being said, life here has been great! I have so many photos I don't know what to do with them all. Friends are amazing and I feel more and more excited to be doing what the Father has called me to do!

Pick mine!!

Marry my daughter please. She is 25 and successful at her career. 5" 1' and 90 pounds. Smart, knows Chinese, English, Japanese, and German. Plays Violin, piano, and owns a car. Sound like a newspaper add? Its because it is. The paper and flyers you see here are from parents and grandparents trying to find their son and daughters spouses! These are people carefully picking their selections. I couldn't believe it....but what was crazy is that this went on throughout the whole park. I mean thousands of adds everywhere. I wasn't sure what I should think about it....but i found it very intriguing. How would you like for your parents to go the park every weekend to try to sell you to those who passed by?

A bear stole my seat

I was on the subway heading to a birthday party for a teammate when all of a sudden a huge teddy bear came walking in. I soon found out, that there was a lady behind the bear. I couldn't contain myself. I had to be a tourist at this moment. I laughed whipped out my camera and capture this image of "China" for you all. I am sure subways in New York are crazy too, but people watching at a subway in China could be a full time job!

Dancing in the park

Last night was a lot of fun! We had mexican....it wasn't Los Bravos, but it was a nice break from garlic! :) We walked home from dinner and what happened from there was a blast. In America after dinner, for the most part, we sit on the couch and watch TV. In China, TOTALLY different. The evening is where it all takes place. Everyone is out and about. Walking through the parks,talking and playing games on the street corners. The street food is grilling and the air is full of laughter, horns, and music! I love it here at night! The sense of community is something westerners should be envious of! As we walked home we passed many parks. In the parks are walkers, people doing Tai-chi, and women dancing!We normally walk by taking pictures, but as we walked by the last park we could not help but hear,"HOOP there it is"!!! We stopped dead in our tracks, gave our bags to the husbands and ran to join all the women in their evening exercise! This was SO much fun! Of course we look
