Leaving on a Jet Plane


I've been hesitant to write anything for fear of jinxing it. But the reservations have been made, passport and visa have arrived, and the bags are being packed. Larry & I are going to China...yep, China!

We fly to Shanghai on Saturday for business (and pleasure, how could it not be?). Larry has been offered a 3 year contract position as part of the start up team for a new manufacturing plant in Suzhou, and we are exploring the possibilities. No contract has been signed yet, but this trip will most definitely decide it for us. The folks over there won't let Larry sign a contract until I approve. Gotta love that.

The girls have been telling all of their friends and teachers and complete strangers that they are moving to China. I've been following behind them with our official statement, "no contract has been signed." They will be spending the week with their grandparents. The fact that we won't be together on Easter is heartbreaking to me. This will be our first holiday apart from each other. Thankfully, the girls are excited to be hunting eggs in Mimi and Papa's house as there are more rooms to search. I apologize in advance, Mom and Dad, if in their haste to find eggs things get broken.
