This one is for Julie!




Martinelli's in China!

Another Classic




So we stroll into Angela's apartment building to find this waiting on the floor. Just chilling there, on the floor. We think it is a pig - but are willing to entertain other ideas :)
UPDATE: WE HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS MUTTON - THAT'S SHEEP RIGHT?

We Live in China Now!

We are officially here. I'm sorry we didn't write that first day - jet lag was the enemy. But, today we are ready a raring to go. Aaryn is off to the office and I am off with the ladies to get pampered - life is rough! We got a cell phone yesterday - and as soon as I remember the number I will get it out to y'all. Stay tuned for some video from our drive down from Beijing and our home for the next few weeks. I will work on that tonight.
Zaijian!

On Our Way

We are well on our way to China now. We are just on our layover in San Fran waiting to board the airplane to take us to our new home (for the next few years, at least). Our hearts will always live in Texas, however.
We were so rushed there at the end that I am afraid we missed seeing some people before we left (at 4 am this morning). I apologize for that, but remember, we will be home in 4 months. So you won't get to miss us too much.
I feel like I should have some really profound statement to make right now about this adventure in our lives, but all I have is "I'm excited, and tired". Maybe after a little catnap on the next plane I will be more loquacious.

Family and Friends

It takes a lot more than I ever expected to move to a foreign country. It takes the help of many people - we could not be doing this without our family and friends. They are helping us pack, storing things for us, feeding us, and making this a much less stressful situation. I just want everyone to know that we appreciate everything they are doing for us. Without the help we would be in a pinch right now. THANK YOU!
