Live, laugh, love, Shenyang

Things have been pretty standard here. We're preparing for Mid-Term Exams and a 3 day trip to Haerbin. I am 99% sure I know what I will be doing next year, but I'm going to wait a bit longer to make the official announcement. I have a plane ticket to fly into Virginia and then join the Dalsimers for the reunion in the outer banks. I will be arriving on July 9th. YAY! We did a double decker tour bus around Shenyang, just because we felt that was a good idea. It was as expected. That's really all. Here are some pictures of me in China.

And just like that- it's May

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Last week was Labor Day, so after a 7 day work week, we had Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday off. I went to Guilin and Yangshou, which are in southern China. We went on bamboo rafts, climbed some mountains, and bought some China stuff to bring home to share. I have been applying for a few jobs around the world and I have decided that I will fly into the Outer Banks on July 9th. I will spend some time home this summer to renew my passport and see my family. I think I have one more year abroad in me and then I am going to really get my life on track. That is the current plan. Solid chance it changes again in about 45 minutes.

I was going to put more pictures, but it's not working. I'll try again.  Happy Spring!
