lil bit of home :)

Class let out around 4 and as I walked back into our room I noticed a nice new smell in the room. In China….nice and new are not normally words to describe the smells! To my surprise, there was a bouquet of pink roses and lily’s with a little note stating I was loved! Date night had officially started!
We got dressed up and ready for a night on the town. I was very excited! Jeremy was taking me to Mexican restaurant, my favorite! We took a bus to the subway and eventually found where we needed to be ☺ As we were walking to the restaurant we were surprised at all the security around us…. every corner and every street was covered with police. We then found out that we were around all the embassy’s and Joe Bi

den was visiting! That was cool!
Mexican was delicious! Not to mention so fun to hear country music and eat with a fork! The date night didn’t end there, we then walked to a TGIF and ate some cheesecake! What a treat! I felt so blessed to be able to go enjoy a night with some western comfort food and to be able to spend time with my man! The evenings are cool even chilly lately. It was great to walk around and see all the lights and have the breeze blowing your hair.
I have been adjusting well to all the new foods and environments, but it was really nice to be able to experience a little bit of home for a one night!

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?

New Home?

What to pack? If you have moved before you are aware of the excitement and stress that comes along with it! So far moving hasn't been the biggest stresser. I think what stresses me out is the fact that I am at my house but it no longer looks like or feels like home. The feeling of not having a comfort home is not a good one. I reminds me of a story one of my friends was telling me. It was about a missionary that was once asked about where her home was, since she moved all the time. She explained that through her time as a missionary the Father had shown her, this world never was suppose to be our home. That through moving over and over sharing the word she began to understand that meaning. Her home wasn't a present tangible place on the earth but it was in her heart and an eternal place. I really hope that one day my thought and heart would truly feel that! Packing: I have learned that I am extremely blessed to have material things and friends and family to help! I have l...

Angry Birds

The night began with J and I heading to Starbucks.He was meeting his bud and I was just going to enjoy the nice weather and improve my angry bird skills. You know that feeling you get when someone is watching you..I was feeling it pretty heavy. It may have been the breath of the Chinese kid over my shoulder or the nice sound affects he was making, but needless to say I was being watched. As I continued to pass levels, the noises got closer and closer until a chair was pulled up right next to me. I offered him to play, but he politely refused...the first time. The second time, he jumped at the offer. We instantly became friends. With the very little Chinese I know, we managed to play against and laugh at each other. He told me his name, age, and taught me the word for bomb. For an hour and a half I was able to make a friend without either one of us being able to speak to one another...all because of a popular game and probably because of my amazing angry bird skills! lol What a cool fee...
