Packages!

If I could explain to you the excitement of receiving packages here, i would.....but I can't! The joy of getting that phone call saying you have something to pick up gives you goosebumps and that butterfly thing in your stomach. It is so hard not to run the whole way there or not to open it on the way back home. I love it! Special thanks to: My mom aka packing queen!- You are so loving and thoughtful and I feel so loved with the amount of time and effort put into getting them to me!Thank you for our pan, candy,vanilla, and everything else! Lisa and the girls- Your pictures brought tears to my eyes! I totally have them where all can see my beautiful cousins! Also thanks for the nyquil! Grandma Sue and Don- Thanks for the sweet card, the muffins, mixes, and love sent our way! Sara- Wes's pictures are SO darn cute!!! Alodie- Crowder pictures and shirt on display in the Majors's house!! you rock! Tanner Family- Thank you for your gifts and sweet card!! Ann- thank you for your scrapbook and other gifts sent this way! Mary Anne Walther, Gloria Gibbins and the Foster Family....thank you for your sweet notes!!!

Bieber Fever

Surrounded by sounds of horns, buses, and loud Chinese while walking down a crowded street can seem so foreign and a somewhat out of body experience. As we were walking down a shopping street trying to find our way, to my utter disbelief, I heard Backstreet Boys! Yes, I did stay and listen to the whole song, and it was wonderful! It is funny the things that remind you of home, the thing’s that make your heart smile when you live here. I would never think that hearing “Baby, baby ..ooohhh” by Justin Bieber would be a heart warming experience, but sadly because he speaks English and is totally American, I now have bieber fever!

Home Sweet Home

The time has finally come to reveal what you all have been longing for......our home! I really wish I had taken before pictures, so you could see what all we did to the place.

We don't have any decorations up yet, just the main necessity things...but soon I hope to add some color with pillows, art, and some throw blankets!!

I have never taught at a college level before, I definitely have not taught Chinese. Would they like me? Would they be able to understand? All these worries and thoughts were flying around my brain, but within an instant the madness stopped! As I let go of Jeremy's hand and stepped foot into my classroom, I was immediately filled with peace and joy! Their smiling faces and eager hearts just makes you melt :) I greeted the 10 or so students who arrived early and then began writing on the chalk board. It may be messy, but writing on a chalk board is totally teacher and made my day. The first class went well, it was a little bumpy but for the most part my lesson was accomplished and the students left smiling. As that class left, the second arrived and I started all over. This time with a passion and a confidence. I loved Teaching! ...
