In San Fran

So, I made it to San Fran safely! I am stunned that some peoples' parents are here....really?!

Anyway, my blog, gmail, and facebook might all be blocked in China, but we are looking aways around it.

More later!

On the road again...

My month home was probably one of the fastest months of my life! I leave for San Fran tomorrow morning and then on to China on Tuesday!

Some highlights of my trip home include: visiting my brother and my fabulous sister-in-law and going to a symphony on a lawn, visiting my aunt in Texas, taking Kramer to the park (twice), margaritas with friends, hot chocolate with former neighbors, sending two packages to Mali for Sikasso Kaw, presenting a slideshow about Mali to my church and a community college, shopping with mom, dining and shopping (and ICE CREAM!) with gramma, shrimp and grits with my uncle...needless to say, I had a hectic and quite enjoyable trip home.

I will continue to update weekly, and hope that I will be able to continue to write about my life overseas.

Right off the airplane (my dad isn't photogenic...he looks this way in all of them, but i like to think he was smiling on the inside)
