Thanksgiving is coming...

First Holiday I will not be at home. I have a feeling this time next week I will be missing home pretty bad. It is funny, because thanksgiving was never one of my favorite holidays. Food was food, I hate being stuffed and lazy, and I realize now that I took my family for granted. Now American food…sounds amazing!! Oh How I wish I could be so stuffed and lay around the house with family! Puzzles, games, and just spending time enjoying everyone! The team here will have dinner and we have found a place to order a turkey, but it won’t be the same without all the kiddos running around, grandma’s rolls, the boring thanksgiving parade, and my mom, dad, and sisters all around. This is an adventure we are on here in China, but sometimes adventures can be rough. I will miss you guys! Thankful turkey love sent your way!

    You will be so terribly missed... you are so terribly missed. My neck hurts right now from trying not to cry. :) I love you sweet girl. And this Thanksgiving, like every other, I will be thankful for you. :)

Chinese Fire Drill...

I now know where that comes from. The past two nights on our way home I have seen cars stopped with doors open at a red light, with people switching seats. They weren't racing or even in a slight hurry. I think they just thought to themselves.."I don't want to drive....so I am going to get in the back seat." haha anyways...I started laughing remembering as a kid friends talking about a chinese Firedrill. Its just ironical that i am in china and actually saw one.

3 years and counting...

Newly weds. During our first two years of marriage, every time Jeremy and I hugged, kissed, or laughed with each other, people would look at us with a funny face and explain "OH, you two are just newly weds!" We would then share a polite laugh with them. But inside, I didn't like being called that...it felt as if they were saying we weren't really  going to be that happy, it was just for right now. Now, even after 3 years, we still get that comment. Just the other day in the office as Jeremy and I were quoting "Christmas Vacation" and "Dumb and Dumber" lines...Merwin was laughing and said the "newly wed" line. But to my surprise I didn't get frustrated, but rather delighted to see that after 3 years, we still got what it takes! I have always known we have something special! I can spend every moment with J and never get tired of him. He makes me laugh more than anyone else, he plays my stupid games, and loves me like crazy despite my...

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...
